[Sidenote:  Long womens breasts.] The trees and all things in this place grow continually greene.  Diuers of the women haue such exceeding long breasts, that some of them wil lay the same vpon the ground and lie downe by them, but all the women haue not such breasts.

At this place all the day the winde bloweth off the Sea, and all the night off the land, but wee found it to differ sometimes, which our Master marueiled at.

This night at 9. of the clocke the winde came vp at the East, which ordinarily about that time was wont to come out of the North Northwest off the shoare:  yet we wayed and halled off South with that winde all night into the Sea, but the next morning we halled in againe to the lande, and tooke in 6.  Tunnes of water for our ship, and I thinke the Hinde tooke in as much.

I could not perceiue that here was any gold, or any other good thing:  for the people be so wilde and idle, that they giue themselues to seeke out nothing:  if they would take paines they might gather great store of graines, but in this place I could not perceiue two Tunne.

There are many foules in the Countrey, but the people will not take the paines to take them.

I obsetued some of their words of speach, which I thought good here to set downe.

Bezow, bezow,                  Is their salutation. 
Manegete afoye,                Graines ynough. 
Crocow, afoye,                 Hennes ynough. 
Zeramme, afoye,                Haue ynough. 
Begge sacke                    Giue me a knife. 
Begge come,                    Giue me bread
Borke,                         Holde your peace. 
Coutrecke.                      Ye lye. 
Veede,                         Put foorth, or emptie. 
Brekeke,                       Rowe. 
Diago,                         Their Captaine, and some
call him Dabo.

These and other wordes they speake very thicke, and oftentimes recite one word three times together, and at the last time longer then at the two first.

The 18. day towards night, as we were sailing along the coast, we met with certaine boats in the sea, and the men shewed vs that there was a riuer thwart of vs, where there were Graines to be sold, but we thought it not good to tary there, least the other ships should get before vs.  This riuer hath lying before it three great rockes, and 5. small rocks, one great tree, and a little tree right by the riuer, which in height exceeded all the rest:  we halled this night along the coast 16. leagues.

The 19. day as we coasted the shoare, about twelue of the clocke there came out to vs 3. boates to tell vs that they had graines, and brought some with them for a shew, but we could not tary there.  We proceeded along the coast, and ancred by the shore all the night, and ran this day 10. leagues.
