other wee towed at our shippe sterne, steering Southsouthwest for the Islands of Cape Verde. Therehence we set
saile the 28. of Februarie, keeping a Westsouthwest
course. In this passage wee found very smooth seas, faire
weather, and steddie winds, blowing ordinarily betweene
the East and Northeast poynts. Neere 30. leagues from
these Islands, wee came into a growne sea, the swollen
waters making a strange noise & hurtling together, as if
it might be two strong currents encountring ech other.
