CHAPTER LII The name of the ship’s captain, from

whence the ship came, and what happened before we left harbour, and the

manner of our return to France. THE captain of the ship was named William de Moner and the helmsman was called Francoy de Schantz. The ship was the Catherine of Wattavilla, and we now made all things ready to sail for France. One morning, as we lay in the harbour of Rio de Jenero, a small Portuguese vessel came by intending to leave the harbour, the crew

called Los Markayes. Their country abuts on the country of the Tuppin Ikins, who are friendly to the French, but the two tribes are great enemies.
