TheeleventhVoyage forthe East-In-dia Compa-ny.

The eleventh and twelfth General Voy-ages to the East-Indies.

H E eleventh Voyage for theCompany offers so little worthNotice, that Harris has notthought it worth his while to giveany Account at all of it; And, for thefame Reason, I shall be very short inmine. This Voyage was performed bythe Solomon alone. She departed at thefame Time, and upon the fame Ac-count, as the Dragon and the Hofiander,as I have already mention’d in the fore-going Chapter. Of the Occurrences ofthis Voyage, I shall only mention, that,on the seven and twentieth of April,1612. they discovered a new Island, inthe South Latitude of nineteen Degrees,and four and thirty Minutes, and to theEastward of it two more, one about theBigness of the first, the other a large I-stand.

I find nothing extraordinary inthis Voyage, but a Scuffle with the Ba-luches, a People tributary to the Perjt-ans, who formed a Plot to seize theAmbaffadour and his Effects; But theConspiracy being discovered, they werecounterplotted by the Englijh, withSuccess. They returned to England,and anchored in the Downs, the tenth ofJuly, 1614.
