“En la première coste que passerent aulcunes esclaves enfanterent et quant estoient en traveil se mirent hors du basteau et après retournerent au basteau et nourrirent leurs enfans.” This story is improbable, as women were not allowed to come on board ship. Fabre then relates the story of the young girl. [173] Canibali. [174] Solis. [175] “Contremont.” [176] Falkner (1774, Hereford) in his account of Patagonia, says he saw men among the Puelches seven feet six inches high. [177] “Combien.” [178] The guanaco, a kind of Lama. [179] “Empanées.” [180] “Besongnes.” [181] “Brasse.” [182] “Sayon.” [183] “Bragues marinieres.” [184] “Bouffer”, to be angry, also to blow, to puff. [185] Setebos, though represented by the Spaniards as a demon, would, no doubt, be the Patagonian name of the Deity. Shakespeare has twice brought in Setebos in the _Tempest_, as invoked by Caliban. There can be no doubt of his having got the name of Setebos from the account of Magellan’s voyage. [186] “Carvalho.” [187] “Escouppetes.” [188] “Collère.” [189] “Et lient leur membre dedans le corps pour le très grand froid.” [190] On account of their large feet. [191] “Egiptiens.” [192] Coffin. [193] Milan edition calls him “vehadore”, overseer or purveyor. [194] “Contador.” Milan edition. [195] “Quesada.” [196] Maximilian, the Transylvanian, relates that when Gomez abandoned Magellan in the Straits, he returned by this spot and picked up these two men. [197] “Capres,” mussels or oysters; the Milan edition adds, that they were not eatable. [198] “Connins.” [199] “Plus petites assez que les notres:” “assai piu piccoli”. Milan edition. [200] “Scameux.” [201] The MS. is thus divided, but without numbers to the chapters. [202] “Et quasi autant de largeur moins de demye lieue.” [203] “La mer paisible.” [204] “Surgir.” [205] “De mettre les proysses en terre.” [206] Martin Behaim, who lived at Fayal and Nuremberg. A globe was constructed at Nuremberg under the instructions of Martin Behaim in 1492, and given by him to the town of Nuremberg. This globe disproves the idea that Martin Behaim or his maps had indicated to Magellan any straits, for the whole continent of America is absent from it. [207] “Trauerse.” [208] “Chevaucher.” [209] “Entrer à sec.” [210] “Canton.” [211] (“Comme abandonnans.”) [212] “Souspecon.” [213] His name was Estevan Gomez. [214] Cousin.
