ABSTRACT
Saturday, 19 November. I left Surat at daybreak to go to Swally, where, finding that Captain Nicolas Vidal’s ship was ready to start, I embarked in it, and we set sail about midday with a favourable wind, which brought us in sight of Daman in twenty-four hours; but, the wind having failed about twelve o’clock on the following day, we had difficulty in approaching the bar on account of strong currents.
