It Is Singular That The Large Circular Bay Of Mansitare In Lat.

19 deg.

30' S. is not named, although probably meant by the river _Mane_ in the text. - E.]

[Footnote 11: Now called Ranoumanthe, discharging its waters into the bay of St Vincents. - E.]

[Footnote 12: Now Port St James. - E.]

In the latitude of 25 deg. S. they entered a port which they named St Augustine[13] in a kingdom called _Vavalinta_, of which a _Buque_ named _Diamacrinale_ was king, who no sooner saw the Portuguese than he asked if these were some of the men from the other coast. This confirmed the stories they had formerly heard respecting the Portuguese, and they were here informed that the place at which they dwelt was only six days sail from that place. In September they got sight of Cape _Romain_ or St _Mary_ the most southern point of Madagascar, where they spent 40 days in stormy weather, and on St Lukes day, 18th October, they entered the port of that name in the kingdom of Enseroe. The natives said that there were white people who wore crosses, only at the distance of half a days journey, who had a large town, and _Randumana_ the king came on board the caravel, and sent one of his subjects with a Portuguese to shew him where these white people dwelt, but the black ran away when only half way.

[Footnote 13: In lat. 23 deg. 30' or directly under the tropic of Capricorn, is a bay now called St Augustine.
