[10] Thus Correa states correctly that the Cape was rounded in November, that is, in the height of summer, but introduces accessory details—perhaps taken from an account of some other voyage (Cabral’s, for instance)—which could only have happened in mid-winter. (See p. 193). [11] An excellent translation of Correa’s account of _The Three Voyages of Vasco da Gama_, by Lord Stanley of Alderley, was published by the Hakluyt Society in 1869. It is accompanied by foot-notes, directing attention to those numerous instances in which Correa differs from other writers. [12] Most of the documents discovered on these occasions were made known by Texeira de Aragão and Luciano Cordeiro, to whose published works frequent reference will be made. [13] _Roteiro_, prim, edição, p. xix. [14] _Roteiro_, seg. edição, p. xii. [15] Prof. Kopke (_Roteiro_, prim. ed., pp. ix-xiv) deals much more fully with this subject. We have been content to give the substance of his remarks. [16] See livro I, c. xxvii, of the first edition (1551) of his _Historia_. In the edition of 1554 this passage is suppressed, but further particulars of the voyage are not given. [17] For a conclusive proof of this see p. 2. After the _S. Raphael_ had been broken up, the author may have been transferred to Coelho’s vessel, and have returned in her. [18] This is the “secretary” (escrivão) of Vasco da Gama. Castanheda (I, p. 54) mentions also the comptroller (veador) of the captain-major, but we are inclined to think that this is a duplication of the same person, namely, Diogo Dias, the clerk or purser of the _S. Gabriel_. [19] See p. 54, note 2, for this anecdote.

[27] These vessels, as appears in the course of the Journal, were the _S. Gabriel_ (flag-ship), the _S. Raphael_ (Paulo da Gama), the _Berrio_ (Nicolau Coelho), and a store-ship (Gonçalo Nunes). The author served on board the _S. Raphael_. See Introduction. [28] In the suburb of Restello, four miles below the Arsenal of Lisbon, stood a chapel or _ermida_, which had been built by Henry the Navigator for the use of mariners. In this chapel Vasco da Gama and his companions spent the night previous to their departure in prayer. After his victorious return, D. Manuel founded on its site the magnificent monastery of Our Lady of Bethlehem or Belem.
