Between the river Sesto and the river Dulce are 25 leagues. Between them and 8 leagues from Sesto river is a high land called _Cakeado_, and S.E. from it a place called _Shawgro_, and another called _Shyawe_ or _Shavo_, where fresh water may be had. Off Shyawe lies a ledge of rocks, and to the S.E. is a headland named _Croke_, which is 9 or 10 leagues from Cakeado. To the S.E. is a harbour called St Vincent, right over against which is a rock under water, two and a half leagues from shore. To the S.E. of this rock is an island 3 or 4 leagues off, and not above a league from shore, and to the S.E. of the island is a rock above water, and past that rock is the entrance of the river Dulce, which may be known by that rock.
