I There Found A Copy Of A
Letter My Brother Had Sent Home By A Hollander The Day After He Came To
The Road; Which, If Your Worships Have Not Received, You May See That
They Will Detain All Your Worships Letters.
I took in water at Saldanha
bay, and made all the dispatch I could for England.
Thus have I certified your worships of all matters in an ample manner,
as seemed my duty. I have on board 100 tons, six cathayes, one
quartern, and two pounds of nutmegs; and 622 suckets of mace, which are
thirty-six tons, fifteen cathayes, one quartern, and twenty-one pounds.
I left in the junk with Mr Herniman twenty-four tons, seven cathayes,
two quarterns, eight pounds. All this cost me 25,071-1/4 rials; of which
sum I have disbursed 500 rials of my own, for spice, which lies mostly
on the orlop; and being in bond to your worships, it shall there
remain till I know your worships pleasure whether I shall enjoy it.
SECTION XI
Sixth Voyage of the English East India Company, in 1610, under the
Command of Sir Henry Middleton.[317]
INTRODUCTION.
This is one of the most curious of all the early voyages of the English
to India, particularly on account of the transactions of Sir Henry in
the Red Sea. According to the title of the voyage in the Pilgrims, the
narrative was written by Sir Henry himself, probably an abstract of his
journal.
