In the night we lay by, for fear of overshooting this headland, between which and Cape St.Manes the land is high, mountainous and woody, having many points of land shooting out into the sea, which make so many fine bays; the coast lies north-north-east and south-south-west.
The 9th, in the morning a huge black man came off to us in a canoe, but would not come aboard.

He made the same signs of friendship to us as the rest we had met with; yet seemed to differ in his language, not using any of those words which the others did.

We saw neither smoke nor plantations near this headland.

We found here variation 1 degree east.
In the afternoon, as we plied near the shore, three canoes came off to us; one had four men in her, the others two apiece.

That with the four men came pretty nigh us, and showed us a cocoa-nut and water in a bamboo, making signs that there was enough ashore where they lived; they pointed to the place where they would have us go, and so went away.
