Then we went South vntil we brought our selues in 13 degrees, reckoning our selues fiue and twentie leagues off.  And in 15 degrees we did reare the Crossiers, and we might haue reared them sooner if we had looked for them.  They are not right a crosse in the moneth of Nouember, by reason that the nights are short there.  Neuertheless we had the sight of them the 29 day of the said moneth at night.

The first of December, being in 13 degrees we set our course South and by East, vntill the fourth day of December at 12 of the clocke the same day.  Then we were in nine degrees and a terce, rekoning our selues 30 leagues of the sholes of the riuer called Rio Grande, being Westsouthwest off them, the which sholes be 30 leagues long.

The fourth of December we beganne to set our course Southeast, we being in sixe degrees and a halfe.

The ninth day of December we set our course Eastsoutheast:  the fourteenth day of the sayde moneth we set our course East, we being in fiue degrees and a halfe, reckoning our selues thirty and sixe leagues from the coast of Guinea.

The nineteenth of the said moneth we set our course East and by North, reckoning our selues seuenteene leagues distant from Cape Mensurado, the said Cape being Eastnortheast of vs, and the riuer of Sesto being East.

The one and twentieth day of the said moneth, we fell with Cape Mensurado to the Southeast, about two leagues off.  This Cape may be easily knowen, by reason yet the rising of it is like a Porpose-head.  Also toward the Southeast there are three trees, whereof the Eastermost tree is the highest, and the middlemost is like a hie stacke, and the Southermost like vnto a gibet:  and vpon the maine are foure or fiue high hilles rising one after another like round hommocks or hillocks.  And the Southeast of the three trees, brandiernwise:  and all the coast along is white sand.  The said Cape standeth within a litle in sixe degrees.

The two and twentieth of December we came to the riuer of Sesto, and remained there vntill the nine and twentieth day of the said moneth.  Here we thought it best to send before vs the pinnesse to the riuer Dulce, called Rio Dulce, that they might haue the beginning of the market before the comming of the Iohn Euangelist.

At the riuer of Sesto we had a tunne of graines.  This riuer standeth in sixe degrees, lacking a terce.  From the riuer of Sesto to Rio Dulce are fiue and twentie leagues.  Rio Dulce standeth in fiue degrees and a halfe.  The river of Sesto is easie to be knowen, by reason there is a ledge of rockes on the Southeast part of the Rode.  And at the entring into the hauen are fiue or sixe trees that beare no leaues.  The is a good harborow, but very narow at the entrance into the riuer.  There is also a rocke in the hauens mouth right as you enter.  And all that coast betweene Cape de Monte, and cape de las Palmas, lieth Southeast and by East, Northwest and by West, being three leagues off the shore.  And you shal haue in some places rocks two leagues off:  and that, betweene the riuer of Sesto and cape de las Palmas.
