I was now furnished with roots and corn, such as it was, and water; and leaving my friendly negroes, I made forward for about eleven days more, without offering to go near the shore, till I saw the land run out a great length into the sea, at about the distance of four or five leagues before me; and the sea being very calm, I kept a large offing to make this point.
Provisto de raíces, grano y agua, abandoné a mis amistosos negros y seguí navegando unos once días, sin tener que acercarme a la orilla. Entonces vi que, a unas cuatro o cinco leguas de distancia, la tierra se prolongaba mar adentro.
