of the ship, and the Marigold was driven ashore, and somewhat bruised.
For the repairing of which damages we returned again to Plymouth; and
having recovered those harms, and brought the ships again to good state,
we set forth the second time from Plymouth, and set sail the 13th day of
December following.

The 25th day of the same month we fell with the Cape Cantin, upon the
coast of Barbary; and coasting along, the 27th day we found an island
called Mogador, lying one mile distant from the main. Between which
island and the main we found a very good and safe harbour for our ships

carried him away. So that a man cannot be too circumspect and wary of
himself among such miscreants. Our pinnace being finished, we departed
from this place the 30th and last day of December, and coasting along
the shore we did descry, not contrary to our expectation, certain
