TO BRAZIL.

Where Battell is captured, with 4 others. And brought to Janeiro.

canoe with Indians coming from the city of Spiritu Sancto. They landed on the West side of the island and, coming through the woods, seized 5 of us and brought us to the River of Janeiro Rio de Janeiro, whereupon Abraham Cock, our captain, set sail to sea, of whom we never heard again.

He is taken with a turner to St. Paul in Angola. And from there to Quansa.

Having been in Janeiro for four months, I and a turner a woodworker were sent to Angola in Africa, to a city called St. Paul Luanda, lying 9 degrees South of the Equator. Having arrived there, I was immediately taken from the ship, put in prison, and sent to Quansa Kwanza, a city where a garrison was stationed, 130 miles up the river.
Comes back to St. Paul.

Having been there for 2 months, the steersman of the Governor's pinas pinnace died, whereupon I received orders to bring the same downstream to the city. Here I was immediately taken ill and lay in a miserable state for 8 months, all the more because they hated me as an Englishman.
And is sent to the River Zaire.

But when I had recovered, Don John Hurtado de Mendoza, the Governor, gave me orders to sail with a pinas to the River of Congo, called Zaire, and there buy up elephant teeth ivory, tar, and palm oil. This river is 50 miles North of the city and is the largest on that entire coast. At the mouth of that river lies an island called Calabes, where a trading post was at that time. Here we loaded our pinas with elephant teeth, tar, and palm oil, and returned to the city.
