[Sidenote: _Candish_ his Expedition.] A Year after the death of these famous Navigators, Captain _Thomas Candish_ Mann’d with a hundred and twenty Men, and Provisions for two Years, setting sail in a lucky Hour, a second time encompass’d the World, passing the _Straights of Magellan_; in which Voyage having got above ten times the value of his Charge, by taking the _Spanish_ Carrack _St. Anna_, valued at twenty Tun of Gold; and at last freighted with a Mass of Treasure, he came safe into the River of _Thames_. [Sidenote: _Smith_’s Voyage.] But much worse success had Captain _John Smith_, who weigh’d Anchor _Anno 1614._ with two Ships, fitted out by several Merchants in _London_, for _New-England_, and on the Island _Monachigga_ to load Copper, Gold, and other Minerals that were to be had there, and also to fish for Whales: But there were no such Minerals to be found there, nor any Whales to be taken on the Coast, because the time of the Year was past; so that he return’d home without Success. However, not long after, they undertook the same Expedition a second time, but with worse Fortune; for being gotten in sight of _Virginia_, he was treacherously set upon, and taken by the _French_, who accus’d him, that he had destroy’d the Plantations in _Nova Francia_, and unless he would make satisfaction for the Damage, they threatned him with death. He was carried Prisoner to _Rochel_, in a _French_ Ship; but not far from thence surpris’d by a mighty Storm, _Smith_ finding an opportunity, leap’d into the Boat, and driving betwixt the Waves, at last, half dead, was thrown upon the Island of _Oleron_, whom afterwards, having lost all, an _English_ Ship took in, and brought to his Native Countrey. SECT. XV. Netherland _Expedition by_ Jaques Mahu, _and_ Simon de Cordes. [Sidenote: _Mahu_’s Voyage.] Five Ships being fitted out at _Rotterdam_, the Command of them was given to _Jaques Mahu_ and _Simon de Cordes_, who on the twenty seventh of _June, Anno 1598._ weigh’d Anchor from the _Goree_, and sail’d on an immense Voyage; at last landing at the Island _St. Jago_, they won a strong Castle there, and took two Barques; but at last Articled with the _Portuguese_, that they might undisturb’d supply themselves with Fresh Water, yet they, as if they minded no Agreements, whilst the _Dutch_ were filling their Casks, came down upon them with two hundred Horse, each having a Foot-Soldier behind him; but the _Hollanders_ made so stout resistance, that they put them all to flight.
