Our ship receiv’d some dammage which was rectifyed by our Carpenters as well as they could for the present, and sail’d forward in our voyage. The next day we were forc’d to lye a Try again, which we did the thirtieth day, the wind at South-west allowing each days drift. The one and thirtieth we shortned sail all but our Sprit-sail, top-sail because of falling too soon with the Coast of _India_. This month we ran eight hundred fifty two Leagues on several Courses. From the first to the fourth of _September_, we stood away only with a sprit-sail top-sail the course and distances, _&c._, observed having a fair wind Westerly, but the next we steer’d East and by North, with Sprit-sail and fore-topsail. The fifth from twelve to six (_per Compass_) East five Leagues, having at four of the Clock had ground sixty four fathome Oazy sand, then set more sail and stood in _North, North-west_ till six in the morning, our depth in running the Course of seven Leagues was fifty five, sixty and sixty-four Fathome in Latitude, about 20 Degrees, Seconds 42 and Longitude 30 Degrees, Seconds, 3 Digits _West_. On the sixth day we steer’d _East_ and by _North_, till four in the afternoon, at which time we saw Land, it was low and Sandy banks, with some Trees, and a white Tower or Church which may be seen four or five Leagues off. This place was judged by those men of ours that had sail’d often this way, to be fourteen Leagues to the _westward_ of _Diu_. This evening we took a small boat not far off _Poramena_, bound to _Chichauho_ near _Caule_, they had only three horses in her, having nothing in her worth making prize, we dismist them the next day without taking ought from them. The seventh and eight dayes we stood off and on, expecting to meet with some Jonks. On the ninth we met with a Jonk of _Gogo_, coming from _Mare Rubram_, or the Red-Sea, richly laden, which we took, imagining we now were made for ever, but the Commander soon dasht all our joyes, by producing a pass from the President of _Surrat_, upon sight hereof our Captain durst not detain her. I was on board her and having seen some part of her _Cargo_, I judg’d by that the richness of the rest, and therefore perswaded the Captain to make her prize though she had a hundred president passes, but he would not yeild, knowing better the danger than I did, and so dismist her to my great sorrow. On the tenth we took a Jonk belonging to the King of _Succatore_, bound as they said, to _Surrat_, (the Devil was in our Captain to believe a word they said if ought might be gotten by them) and had aboard of her little that was considerable, saving six horses, and bast to make Ropes withal, wherefore he dismist her.
