[Footnote 78: Cabo Pasado would seem to be indicated, but that is in 20' S.] [Footnote 79: Don Melchor de Navarra y Rocaful, duke of La Palata, prince of Massa, viceroy of Peru from 1681 to 1689. He did not arrive in Lima till November. His predecessor the archbishop took great precautions for his protection against these pirates. _Memorias de los Vireyes_, I. 336-337.] [Footnote 80: The ship was the _Rosario_, the last considerable prize taken by these buccaneers. See document 46. The story of the 700 pigs of pewter is told in a much more romantic form by Ringrose, p. 80, and by the author of _The Voyages and Adventures of Capt. Barth. Sharp_, p. 80. According to them, the pigs were thought to be of tin, and only one of them was saved, the rest being left in the prize when she was turned adrift. Later, when Sharp's men reached the West Indies, a shrewd trader there, perceiving this remaining pig to be silver, took it off their hands, and then sold it for a round sum; whereupon deep chagrin fell upon the pirates, who had duped themselves by abandoning a rich cargo of silver. It will however be observed in document 46 that Simon Calderon, mariner, of the _Rosario_, speaks of the pigs as pigs of tin. A mass of sea-charts taken from the _Rosario_ is now--either the originals or copies by Hacke--in the British Museum, Sloane MSS., 45.] [Footnote 81: About 4 deg. 18' S. lat., at the beginning of the Peruvian coast.] [Footnote 82: _I.e._, they sailed up into the wind. So strong a wind blows up the coast, that the best way to sail from Peru to southern Chile is first to sail westward far out into the Pacific. It was Juan Fernandez who discovered this course.] [Footnote 83: Fetched.] [Footnote 84: Distances, in degrees on the horizon, between east or west and the rising point of a star. By amplitudes, east and west could be fixed when the variation of the compass from true north and south was doubtful.] [Footnote 85: Furled. Courses are the lower sails. 50 deg. S. lat. is the latitude of the gulf of Trinidad. To the island by which they anchored a little farther south, as described below, they gave the name of Duke of York Island, after their king's brother James; this name it still bears.] [Footnote 86: Limpets.] [Footnote 87: But all observers of the Patagonian Indians, from Pigafetta, Magellan's companion, to recent times, describe them as having little hair on the face, and accustomed to remove that little. Ringrose, p. 183, gives the same report as our writer.] [Footnote 88: These rocky inlets lie between 52 deg. and 53 deg. S. lat., the four Evangelistas just to the north of the western entrance into the Strait of Magellan, the twelve Apostolos just to the south of it.] [Footnote 89: Tierra del Fuego. By "Streights of Maria" the writer means the Strait of Le Maire, outside Tierra del Fuego, and between it and Staten Island--a strait discovered by Schouten and Le Maire in 1616, when they also discovered and named Cape Hoorn (Horn).]
