[21] From the rather free translation of _Mickle_. [22] A fuller treatise of navigation, as then practised, is contained in a book written by Francisco Faleiro, probably a brother of Ruy Faleiro, thus described by Barbosa Machado, in his _Biblioteca Lusitana_:—“Francisco Faleiro, who was equally well versed in astronomy and navigation, gave a clear statement of his science in those arts in the following work: _Tratado de la Esfera y del Arte de Marear, con el Regimento de las Alturas_. Sevilla, por Juan Cronberger, 1535. 4to.” This book is very rare; there is a copy in the Hydrographer’s office at Madrid. [23] This name is omitted in the prologue of the edition of 1536. [24] Greswell, _A View of the Early Parisian Greek Press_, vol. i, p. 94. [25] The 10th of August was a Wednesday, and Monday was the 8th of August: all the other dates of the week and month agree and are consistent with each other. [26] According to Albo’s Log-Book; according to Pigafetta, May 6. [27] These dates are according to the ship’s time, which differed by a day from the time at the Cape Verde Islands and Seville. [28] Pigafetta says the fleet went out of Seville on the 10th of August, 1519; that it sailed from S. Lucar on the 20th of September, and reached Tenerife on the 26th, and continued its voyage thence on the 3rd of October, navigating to the South. _Lisbon Academy note._ [29] The Paris MS. has “south-west.” This must be the true reading. _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. also has south-west. [30] Pigafetta mentions this river, which is the Plata, in 34 deg. 20 min. _Lisbon Ac. note._ [31] Paris MS. “And they found themselves amongst some shoals.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. is the same. [32] Paris MS. “is in 24 degrees,” which seems clearly an error of the copyists. _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. is in this case similar to the Paris MS. [33] Paris MS. “the bay.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS. “the bay.” [34] We have not found mention of this name of “Bahia dos trabalhos” in any other writer. _Lisbon Ac. note._ [35] Pigafetta puts this port in 49 deg. 30 min. The Transylvan in 49 and ⅓; Barros in 50 deg., and says they arrived there on the 2nd of April. _Lisbon Ac. note._ [36] Paris MS. “eight hours.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. has “seven hours.” [37] The ship _Victoria_. [38] The ship _Conception_. [39] Alvaro de Mesquita was a cousin of Magellan. [40] The ship which was here lost was the _Santiago_, the captain of which was Joāo Serrāo. _Lisbon Ac. note._
