That day we had very good weather, and it was so calm that we could reach no further than to the point of _Candy_. Thus going on, another wind arose, blowing from south-east, call’d _Sirocco_, and in _Latin_, _Vulturnus_, which was contrary too, and hinder’d us very much, so that we were forced to sail upon one side, to weather the point from one side to the other; when we came to the side of _Creet_, and our patron would neither land in _Candy_ nor in a little island call’d _Legosia_, we turn’d on wednesday towards _Africa_. Some while after, a very great tempest arose, with thunder and lightning, so that we had work enough with our sails, and to rule the ship that it might take no hurt; and we sailing thus against the wind, that it might not cast us back, this made us more work than the rest, for the waves went against us so vehemently, that when we were mounted to the top of a wave, we seem’d to look down thence into a deep and dark valley; then down we went again with such a fury, that we thought we should descend to the bottom, which continued almost till the next morning. And although the tempest had thrown us a good way back, yet in a little time we got so far forward again, that we could descry _Candy_, and the little island _Legosia_. Just then we spy’d two ships, one a bark, ten miles off to the left, and the other a great ship going to _Africa_. After we were thus gone along by _Creet_, we came on friday just over-against the city of _Candy_; it came to be so calm and so warm, that we could hardly perceive we were come above three or four miles. We going thus slowly, some of our company jump’d out into the sea to wash themselves; but the mate of our ship run a fish through with a long spear for that purpose, call’d _Lischa_, and so pull’d it out; this was delicately colour’d, and very pleasant to look upon; his back was blew, and his belly white and glisning, above a yard long, of a tender flesh, and very good to eat: This seems to have been a _Tunny_. Just over-against it is a monastry of St _Francis_, in which is a very good Apothecary’s shop, and a delicate garden, fill’d with strange and useful plants. There is also not far off a good and safe port, call’d _Calisme_, where we would willingly have taken in water, but because it lay thirty miles before us, and the wind, _Sirocco_, contrary to us, began to blow again, and hindred us in this enterprise; we steer’d on saturday towards the south, that we might reach it the next morning.
