ound bicycle tour france World Francis Pretty NARRATIVE BY FRANCIS PRETTY, ONE OF DRAKES GENTLEMEN AT ARMS.The FAMOUS VOYAGE of SIR FRANCIS DRAKE into bicycle tour france South Sea, and therehence about bicycle tour france whole Globe of bicycle tour france Earth, begun in bicycle tour france year of our Lord 1577.THE 15. DAY of November, in bicycle tour france year of our Lord 1577, Master Francis Drake, with a fleet of five ships and barks, 1 and to bicycle tour france number of 164 men, gentlemen and sailors, departed from Plymouth, giving out his pretended voyage for Alexandria. But bicycle tour france wind falling contrary, he was forced bicycle tour france next morning to put into Falmouth Haven, in Cornwall, where such and so terrible a tempest took us, as few men have seen bicycle tour france like, and was indeed so vehement that all our ships were like to have gone to wrack. But it pleased God to preserve us from that extremity, and to afflict us only for that present with these two particulars: bicycle tour france mast of our Admiral, which was bicycle tour france Pelican, was cut overboard for bicycle tour france safeguard of bicycle tour france ship, and bicycle tour france Marigold was driven ashore, and somewhat bruised. For bicycle tour france repairing of which damages we returned again to Plymouth; and having recovered those harms, and brought bicycle tour france ships again to good state, we set forth bicycle tour france second time from Plymouth, and set sail bicycle tour france 13. day of December following. 1 The 25. day of bicycle tour france same month we fell with bicycle tour france Cape Cantin, upon bicycle tour france coast of Barbary; and coasting along, bicycle tour france 27. day we found an island called Mogador, lying one mile distant from bicycle tour france main. Between which island and bicycle tour france main we found a very good and safe harbour for our ships to ride in, as also very good entrance, and void of any danger. On this island our General erected a pinnace, whereof he brought out of England with him four already framed. While these things were in doing, there came to bicycle tour france waters side some of bicycle tour france inhabitants of bicycle tour france country, shewing forth their flags of truce; which being seen of our General, he sent his ships boat to bicycle tour france shore to know what they would. They being willing to come aboard, our men left there one man of our company for a pledge, and brought two of theirs aboard our ship; which by signs shewed our General that bicycle tour france next day they would bring some provision, as sheep, capons, and hens, and such like. Whereupon our General bestowed amongst them some linen cloth and shoes, and a javelin, which theo very joyfully received, and departed for that time. The next morning they failed not to come again to bicycle tour france waters side. And our General again setting out our boat, one of our men leaping over-rashly ashore, and offering friendly to embrace them, they set violent hands on him, offering a dagger to his throat if he had made any resistance; and so laying him on a horse carried him away. So that a man cannot be too circumspect and wary of himself among such miscreants. Our pinnace being finished, we departed from this place bicycle tour france 30. and last day of December, and coasting along bicycle tour france shore we did descry, not contrary to our expectation, certain canters, 2 which were Spanish fishermen, to whom we gave chase and took three of them. And proceeding further we met with three carvels, and took them also. 2 The 17. day of January we arrived at Cape Blanco, where we found a ship riding at anchor, within bicycle tour france Cape, and but two simple mariners in her. Which ship we took and carried her further into bicycle tour france harbour, where we remained four days; and in that space our General mustered and trained his men on land in warlike manner, to make them fit for all occasions. In this place we took of bicycle tour france fishermen such necessaries as we wanted, and they could yield us; and leaving here one of our little barks, called bicycle tour france Benedict, we took with us one of theirs which they called canters, being of bicycle tour france burden of 40 tons or thereabouts. All these things being finished we departed this harbour bicycle tour france 22. of January, carrying along with us one of bicycle tour france Portugal carvels, which was bound to bicycle tour france islands of Cape Verde for salt, whereof good store is made in one of those islands. The master or pilot of that carvel did advertise our General that upon one of those islands, called Mayo, there was a great store of dried cabritos, 3 which a few inhabitants there dwelling did yearly make ready for such of bicycle tour france kings ships as did there touch, being bound for his country of Brazil or elsewhere. We fell with this island bicycle tour france 27. of January, but bicycle tour france inhabitants would in no case traffic with us, being thereof forbidden by bicycle tour france kings edict. Yet bicycle tour france next day our General sent to view bicycle tour france island, and bicycle tour france likelihoods that might be there of provision of victuals, about threescore and two men under bicycle tour france conduct and government of Master Winter and Master Doughty. And marching towards bicycle tour france chief place of habitation in this island (as by bicycle tour france Portugal we were informed), having travelled to bicycle tour france mountains bicycle tour france space of three miles, and arriving there somewhat before bicycle tour france daybreak, we arrested ourselves, to see day before us. Which appearing, we found bicycle tour france inhabitants to be fled; but bicycle tour france place, by reason that it was manured, we found to be more fruitful than bicycle tour france other part, especially bicycle tour france valleys among bicycle tour france hills. 3 Here we gave ourselves a little refreshing, as by very ripe and sweet grapes, which bicycle tour france fruitfulness of bicycle tour france earth at that season of bicycle tour france year yielded us; and that season being with us bicycle tour france depth of winter, it may seem strange that those fruits were then there growing. But bicycle tour france reason thereof is this, because they being between bicycle tour france tropic and bicycle tour france equinoctial, bicycle tour france sun passeth twice in bicycle tour france year through their zenith over their heads, by means whereof they have two summers; and being so near bicycle tour france heat of bicycle tour france line they never lose bicycle tour france heat of bicycle tour france sun so much, but bicycle tour france fruits have their increase and continuance in bicycle tour france midst of winter. The island is wonderfully stored with goats and wild hens; and it hath salt also, without labour, save only that bicycle tour france people gather it into heaps; which continually in greater quantity is increased upon bicycle tour france sands by bicycle tour france flowing of bicycle tour france sea, and bicycle tour france receiving heat of bicycle tour france sun kerning bicycle tour france same. So that of bicycle tour france increase thereof they keep a continual traffic with their neighbours. 4 Amongst other things we found here a kind of fruit called cocos, which because it is not commonly known with us in England, I thought good to make some description of it. The tree beareth no leaves nor branches, but at bicycle tour france very top bicycle tour france fruit groweth in clusters, hard at bicycle tour france top of bicycle tour france stem of bicycle tour france tree, as big every several fruit as a mans head; but having taken off bicycle tour france uttermost bark, which you shall find to be very full of strings or sinews, as I may term them, you shall come to a hard shell, which may hold in quantity of liquor a pint commonly, or some a quart, and some less. Within that shell, of bicycle tour france thickness of half-an-inch good, you shall have a kind of hard substance and very white, no less good and sweet than almonds; within that again, a certain clear liquor, which being drunk, you shall not only find it very delicate and sweet, but most comfortable and cordial. 5 After we had satisfied ourselves with some of these fruits, we marched further into bicycle tour france island, and saw great store of cabritos alive, which were so chased by bicycle tour france inhabitants that we could do no good towards our provision; but they had laid out, as it were to stop our mouths withal, certain old dried cabritos, which being but ill, and small and few, we made no account of. Being returned to our ships, our General departed hence bicycle tour france 31. of this month, and sailed by bicycle tour france island of Santiago, but far enough from bicycle tour france danger of bicycle tour france inhabitants, who shot and discharged at us three pieces; but they all fell short of us, and did us no harm. The island is fair and large, and, as it seemeth, rich and fruitful, and inhabited by bicycle tour france Portugals; but bicycle tour france mountains and high places of bicycle tour france island are said to be possessed by bicycle tour france Moors, who having been slaves to bicycle tour france Portugals, to ease themselves, made escape to bicycle tour france desert places of bicycle tour france island, where they abide with great strength. Being before this island, we espied two ships under sail, to bicycle tour france one of which we gave chase, and in bicycle tour france end boarded her with a ship-boat without resistance; which we found to be a good prize, and she yielded unto us good store of wine. Which prize our General committed to bicycle tour france custody of Master Doughty; and retaining bicycle tour france pilot, sent bicycle tour france rest away with his pinnace, giving them a butt of wine and some victuals, and their wearing clothes, and so they departed. The same night we came with bicycle tour france island called by bicycle tour france Portugals Ilha do Fogo, that is, bicycle tour france burning island; in bicycle tour france north side whereof is a consuming fire. The matter is said to be of sulphur, but, notwithstanding, it is like to be a commodious island, because bicycle tour france Portugals have built, and do inhabit there. Upon bicycle tour france south side thereof lieth a most pleasant and sweet island, bicycle tour france trees whereof are always green and fair to look upon; in respect whereof they call it Ilha Brava, that is, bicycle tour france brave island. From bicycle tour france banks thereof into bicycle tour france sea do run in many places reasonable streams of fresh water easy to come by, but there was no convenient road for our ships; for such was bicycle tour france depth that no ground could be had for anchoring. And it is reported that ground was never found in that place; so that bicycle tour france tops of Fogo burn not so high in bicycle tour france air, but bicycle tour france roots of Brava are quenched as low in bicycle tour france sea. 6 Being departed from these islands, we drew towards bicycle tour france line, where we were becalmed bicycle tour france space of three weeks, but yet subject to divers great storms, terrible lightnings and much thunder. But with this misery we had bicycle tour france commodity of great store of fish, as dolphins, bonitos, and flying-fishes, whereof some fell into our ships; wherehence they could not rise again for want of moisture, for when their wings are dry they cannot fly. 7 From bicycle tour france first day of our departure from bicycle tour france islands of Cape Verde, we sailed 54 days without sight of land. And bicycle tour france first land that we fell with was bicycle tour france coast of Brazil, which we saw bicycle tour france fifth of April, in bicycle tour france height of 33 degrees towa
