The first voyage round the world, by Magellan : $b translated from the accounts of Pigafetta, and other contemporary writers
Pigafetta, Antonio
Magalhães, Fernão de, -1521; Voyages around the world -- Early works to 1800
[107] This clause seems to have been added to the text by the copyist;
because the fortress of Ternate was only begun in the year
1522, on St. John’s day, when Antonio de Brito was captain.
(Castanheda, 1. 6, cap. 12). _Lisbon Ac. note._ This clause may
belong to the writer, the pilot, since he mentions the fortress
and Antonio de Brito later, subsequent to July of 1522.
[108] The Portuguese here mentioned seems to be Pedro Affonso de
Lourosa, who betrayed the Portuguese and passed over to the
Castilians, according to Pigafetta’s account. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[109] Paris MS., “Bargāo.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read this Bachāo; this
is the correct spelling.
[110] The flagship was the _Trinidade_. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[111] Pigafetta says the King sent five divers, and afterwards three
more, who could not stop the water. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[112] Pigafetta sailed in this ship the _Victoria_. The _Trinidade_,
after refitting, took the opposite course and sailed for Yucatan
and the isthmus of Darien, which is here called _land of the
Antilles_; but it found itself obliged to put back to the
Moluccas, and whilst about to discharge its cargo at Ternate, was
cast on shore. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[113] Paris MS., “Tydore.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The correct reading.
[114] Paris MS., “North-north-east.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[115] Paris MS., “Domy.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[116] Paris MS. “The large one is named Chāol, and the small one
Pyliom.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[117] Paris MS., “Quemarre.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[118] Paris MS., “_agoa_,” water, but _hava_ or _ava_ is a drink used
in those countries. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[119] Paris MS., “Camarro.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[120] Paris MS., “25th.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[121] Paris MS., “steered seventeen leagues eastwards.” _Lisbon Academy
note._
[122] Paris MS., “Chao.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[123] Paris MS., “Batechina.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[124] Paris MS., “West.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[125] Paris MS., “islands of St. John:” it also says they made them on
the 6th. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[126] Paris MS., “Chyquom.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[127] Paris MS., “11th of June.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ July will be the
correct reading.
[128] Paris MS., “Magregua.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[129] Paris MS., “Māo.” _Ibid._
[130] Paris MS., “the black man and three Christians.” _Ibid._
[131] Paris MS., “Gelolo.” _Ibid._
[132] Paris MS., “certain men with letters.” _Ibid._
[133] Paris MS., “Dom Garcia.” Garcia, and not Gonzalo, was the name of
this gentleman. See Barros and Castanheda. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[134] Paris MS., “Sam Joze.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read this “Sam Jorge.”
[135] Paris MS., “a squall at night.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read this
“do norte” from the north, and not “de noite.”
