I gave a Spanish Dollar for a small Turtle which weighed only 36 pounds.

With respect to the Ship, he wanted to know her name, the Captain's, the place we came last from and were bound, as I would not see him myself.

I order'd that no account should be given him from whence we came; but Mr.Hicks, who wrote the Ship's name down in his book, put down from Europe.

Seeing this he expressed some surprise, and said that we might write down what we pleased, for it was of no other use than for the information of such of our Country men as might pass these Streights.

At 7 o'Clock a light breeze sprung up at South-South-East, with which we got under sail.
