From Calais the _Örn_ took a westerly course through the English Channel. In the Straits of Dover the Swedes were intercepted by an English warship. Having established their identity, however, they were well received, and an English pass was given to them. They were also offered water and other refreshments, but Captain Bockhorn, being ill disposed towards the English, declined, although his water supply was exhausted. The Swedes were therefore compelled to seek water elsewhere before leaving Europe. In the meantime the wind turned, driving the _Örn_ back past Dover to Deal, where fresh water was finally obtained but “at a cost of money.” On February 22 their sails were swelled, but at Folkestone they encountered head winds. On the twenty-fifth, however, a favorable breeze arose, which soon changed to a storm, and on the twenty-seventh they ran into Weymouth harbor to replenish their supplies. A contrary gale blew for several days, giving the Swedes an opportunity to see the town and recuperate after the rough voyage. They were well treated by the local governor, who entertained the Swedish officers in his castle until midnight. “One evening the city musicians also ... honored us,” says Lindeström, “with a serenade of most delightful and pleasing music, so that we had to open our purses.” “On the third of March they sailed out of Weymouth, while there was quite a good wind out towards the Atlantic Ocean.” On the ninth of March they were off the coast of Portugal, where they came within hail of three Swedish ships, from Gothenburg on their way to Setubal to fetch salt. Later they encountered terrific storms. Many of the passengers and sailors became ill, and several died. On the nineteenth they fortunately reached the Canary Islands. Captain Bockhorn with some of the best sailors went ashore to exhibit the pass, but he was detained over night, causing much anxiety among the Swedes. At noon the following day he returned, however, accompanied by Governor Don Philipo Disalago, who came with three yachts “and a large suite” and showed the Swedes every kindness. The governor invited Rising with his staff to dinner. When the hour for dinner approached a negro slave was ordered to attend each Swedish officer with a sun shade on the way to the palace. The banquet was sumptuous. “I am not able to do justice in describing the magnificent treatment we received ... from the governor,” says Lindeström. “Although there was no meat, bread or suchlike on the table, yet the dinner was so magnificent that we had never seen the like before.... It consisted entirely of confections and different kinds of wine.” Toasts were exchanged and the festivities lasted towards midnight. The passengers and sailors were likewise permitted to land the following day, but when they left the ship to go on shore
