30' S.latitude, where we found an island like that of Taumaco, and with the same kind of people, named Tucopia.

There is only one small anchoring place; and passing in the offing, a small canoe with only two men came to me to make peace, and presented me with some bark of a tree, which appeared like a very fine handkerchief, four yards long and three palms wide; on this I parted from them.
From hence we steered south.

We had a hard gale of wind from the north, which obliged us to lie to for two days: at the end of that time it was thought, as it was winter, that we could not exceed the latitude of 14 deg.
S., in which we were, though my opinion was always directly contrary, thinking we should search for the islands named by the chiefs of Taumaco.
Wherefore, sailing from this place we steered west, and in one day's sail we discovered a volcano, very high and large [Star, or Merlav Island], above three leagues in circuit, full of trees, and of black people with much beard.
To the westward, and in sight of this volcano, was an island not very high, and pleasant in appearance.

There are few anchoring places, and those very close to the shore; it was very full of black people.
Here we caught two in some canoes, whom we clothed and gave presents to, and the next day we put them ashore.

In return for this they shot a flight of arrows at a Spaniard, though in truth it was not in the same port, but about a musket shot further on.
