Being Unable To Shape Their Course For Patane, They Sought For
Refreshments At Warellas, Where They Found A Good Bay; But The People
Being Inimical, They Could Not Procure Any Provisions.
They came at
length to Patane with only eighteen men, most of whom lay in a pitiful
condition in their births.
This ship brought 70,000 rials of eight, or
Spanish dollars, and twenty-nine packs of India cloth.

a sidenote, the Hope appears to have been a Dutch ship. - E.]
Sec. 3. Voyage to Masulipatam, and Incidents during a long Stay at that
Place.
We set sail from Patane on the 22d October, 1613, and on the 25th we
were in with the most southerly of the islands of Ridang, in lat. 6 deg. N.
of which there are about eighteen or twenty. In the evening of that day
we came to the Capas, three small isles, about thirteen leagues from
the Ridang islands, and two leagues from the continent. The 26th, we saw
Pulo Tyaman, twenty-eight leagues S.S.E. from the Capas. The 29th, being
calm, we came to Pulo Tingi, where, if you keep in eighteen fathoms,
there is nothing to be feared but what maybe seen. The 1st November we
saw the point of Jantana, or Johor, and the mount on the island of
Bintam, and came next morning in sight of Piedra-branca; about ten
o'clock a.m. we came to the dangerous reef that projects four leagues
out to sea from the point of Johor.
