and the sayd ffare not being able to direct them, the Master and Company by
helpe of a Dutch booke on board called the Waggoner which showed the topps and
formes of the land and the names of them did with
much labour and trouble
shape their course according as the sayd booke and their owne judgment
guided them towards druntam aforesayd, but
were many dayes getting thither more then they needed to have bin
if the saud Richard ffare had bin able and sufficient in knowledge and

To the 9th hee saith that in the sayd shipps course homewards towards
