The first voyage round the world, by Magellan : $b translated from the accounts of Pigafetta, and other contemporary writers

Name: The first voyage round the world, by Magellan : $b translated from the accounts of Pigafetta, and other contemporary writers
Author: Pigafetta, Antonio

Pigafetta, Antonio

Magalhães, Fernão de, -1521; Voyages around the world -- Early works to 1800

1. Miguel de Rodas, master.
   2. Martin de Insaurraga, pilot.
   3. Miguel de Rodas, seaman.
   4. Nicolas Griego.
   5. Juan Rodriguez.
   6. Vasco Gallego (Portuguese).
   7. Martin de Judicibus.
   8. Juan de Santander.
   9. Hernando de Bustamante.
  10. Antonio Lombardo (_Pigafetta_).
  11. Francisco Rodriguez.
  12. Antonio Fernandez.
  13. Diego Gallego.
  14. Juan de Arratia.
  15. Juan de Apega.
  16. Juan de Acurio.
  17. Juan de Zubieta.
  18. Lorenzo de Iruña.
  19. Juan de Ortega.
  20. Pedro de Indarchi.
  21. Ruger Carpintete.
  22. Pedro Gasco.
  23. Alfonso Domingo, seaman.
  24. Diego Garcia.
  25. Pedro de Valpuesta.
  26. Ximeno de Bargos.
  27. Juan Martin.
  28. Martin de Magallanes.
  29. Francisco Alvaro (probably Albo, the pilot).
  30. Roldan de Argote (from whom must be named the mountain, which in
      the Strait of Magellan, is now called the Campaña de Roldan).
  31. Juan Sebastian del Cano.

This number, 31, will agree with Pigafetta’s 13, who remained at Cape
Verde, and 18 who landed from the _Victoria_.

Sebastian del Cano was very well received by the emperor, and
Herrera mentions the safe arrival of some of the Molucca Indians:
“One of whom,” he says, “was so sharp, that the first thing he did
was to inquire how many reals a ducat was worth, and a real how many
maravedises, and how much pepper was given for a maravedi; and he went
from shop to shop to get information of the value of spices, and with
this he gave cause that he did not return to his country, although
the others returned.” This probably means that he was not allowed to
return, lest he should raise the price of spices in the Molucca Islands.
