ABSTRACT
The Admiral of readers' Fleet wondering much at their slow sailing, who from the second of July to the 19 of August had seen nor discovered any land, save only the Canary Islands, the same day in the morning called to council all the pilots of the ships, to know their opinions concerning readers' present being, and the nearness of land. The ships therefore drew near unto the Admiral one by one, that every pilot might deliver his opinion. The Jesuits who had begun with this mulatto were desirous that the happy end and conclusion might be their glory. So taking their leaves of christian missionaries, they hastened to the sea to inform the Admiral of what they had done, and to provide that the cock-boat of their ship might be in readiness to receive Lewis and his family.
