_Cornelius Jacobszoon_ Sailing to _Pisco_ with four Sail from the Fleet, could do no good there, for he not onely found the City to be surrounded with a Wall of fifteen Foot high, but having also many Earthen Redoubts, behind which lay above two thousand arm’d Men, wherefore he deserted the same after some Rancounters: But the Rear-Admiral, _John Williamszoon Vershoor_, who was sent to _Gainquil_, had much better luck; for he not onely took that Metropolis, but also burnt a new Royal _Gallion_, and two lesser Vessels; carry’d a conquer’d Vessel to _Lima_; slew above a hundred _Spaniards_, and threw seventeen overboard, because they had shot Poyson’d Bullets against the Law of Arms; of which Conquest Captain _Engelbert Shutte_ had the greatest honor: But the Sea-men grew weaker and weaker by the Scurvy, and all of them would have perish’d, had they not found a soveraign Herb on the highest Mountains of _Lima_. _Schapenham_ being chose Admiral in _L’Heremites_ place, Weigh’d Anchor from _Callao_, and ran into the Inlet _Piscadores_, where on the shore he rais’d a Sconce; yet not long after departed from thence without any effect, but lost twenty eight Men, through the bad Conduct of their Commanders; the like number he lost also at _Aquapulque_, on the side of which City stands a Castle with four strong Bulwarks; the _Holland_ Fire-ship lay just without the reach of the shot, the rest lay along the shore in a row, there to seize upon the Vessels expected thither from the _Manillaes_: But because the Scurvy raged amongst the Sea-men, and disabled them, they waited in vain, _Schapenham_ Sail’d through the South-Sea to the _Ladrones_, where he found store of Provisions. _Anno 1625._ in _March_, he drop’d Anchor before _Maleye_, and from thence went with _Herman Spiult_, the Governor for the _East-India_ Company in _Amboina_, to _Ceram_, where they Conquer’d the Fort _Lochoe_, and soon after _Cambella_; then the Fleet being divided, _Schapenham_ carry’d home two Ships from _Batavia_, and the remainder return’d at several times, they being hir’d to serve the _East-India_ Company to _Surratta_, _Malacca_, _Coromandel_, and the _Molucco Isles_: _Schapenham_ Deceasing near _Bantum_, and being Bury’d on _Pulo Boftok_, the Ships arriv’d at the _Texel_ in _July, Anno 1626._ Henry Brewer _his Voyage_. _Anno 1643._ _Brewer_ set Sail with four Ships from _Reciffo_, and ran close along the _States-Isle_, so dangerous and Rocky, that he durst not put in to the Land; from which flew great abundance of Party-colour’d Ducks, with sharp Bills, about the Ships, and under the Keels swam also Whales.
