[8] A facsimile of this signature is given in the plate.
[9] This document has been abridged here; it is taken from a copy
in the Torre do Tombo, made from another copy, which is very
illegible. The Spanish is rather antiquated, and much debased,
apparently by Portuguese copyists, who have mixed up their own
orthography. The Secretary’s name was Francisco, not Fernan.
[10] From this it appears that Magellan anticipated that America would
end like Africa.
[11] D. Jorge of Portugal, Bishop of Siguenza.
[12] The date of the year is not given; however, as the despatch
mentions this year as the year of the marriage, it must be
assumed to have been written in 1518. D. Manuel married the
daughter of Philip I, Da. Leonor, in Villa do Crato, 24th
November, 1518. The treaty of the marriage was made at Saragossa
22nd May, 1518, and ratified in Saragossa 16th July, 1518.
[13] Literally, the road to Coimbra.
[14] Meaning, he could become a hermit.
[15] This contemporary document confirms Osorio as to the cause of
Magellan’s being disgusted with the King of Portugal; some
historians have represented the quarrel as arising from a
distribution of plundered cattle. Gaspar Correa uses a similar
phrase to that in this despatch, “a hundred reis, more or less”.
[16] Compare this statement with that in the second line of the fifth
paragraph of this despatch.

with Martin Centurion in 1524, he translated into Spanish the

Ocean.

[22] A fuller treatise of navigation, as then practised, is contained
in a book written by Francisco Faleiro, probably a brother of Ruy
Faleiro, thus described by Barbosa Machado, in his _Biblioteca
Lusitana_:—“Francisco Faleiro, who was equally well versed in
astronomy and navigation, gave a clear statement of his science
in those arts in the following work: _Tratado de la Esfera y del
Arte de Marear, con el Regimento de las Alturas_. Sevilla, por
Juan Cronberger, 1535. 4to.” This book is very rare; there is a
copy in the Hydrographer’s office at Madrid.
[23] This name is omitted in the prologue of the edition of 1536.

[25] The 10th of August was a Wednesday, and Monday was the 8th of
August: all the other dates of the week and month agree and are
consistent with each other.
[26] According to Albo’s Log-Book; according to Pigafetta, May 6.
[27] These dates are according to the ship’s time, which differed by a
day from the time at the Cape Verde Islands and Seville.
[28] Pigafetta says the fleet went out of Seville on the 10th of
August, 1519; that it sailed from S. Lucar on the 20th of
September, and reached Tenerife on the 26th, and continued its
voyage thence on the 3rd of October, navigating to the South.
_Lisbon Academy note._
[29] The Paris MS. has “south-west.” This must be the true reading.
_Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. also has south-west.
[30] Pigafetta mentions this river, which is the Plata, in 34 deg. 20
min. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[31] Paris MS. “And they found themselves amongst some shoals.”
_Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. is the same.
[32] Paris MS. “is in 24 degrees,” which seems clearly an error of
the copyists. _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. is in this case
similar to the Paris MS.
[33] Paris MS. “the bay.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS. “the bay.”
[34] We have not found mention of this name of “Bahia dos trabalhos”
in any other writer. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[35] Pigafetta puts this port in 49 deg. 30 min. The Transylvan in 49
and ⅓; Barros in 50 deg., and says they arrived there on the 2nd
of April. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[36] Paris MS. “eight hours.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Madrid MS. has
“seven hours.”
[37] The ship _Victoria_.
[38] The ship _Conception_.
[39] Alvaro de Mesquita was a cousin of Magellan.
[40] The ship which was here lost was the _Santiago_, the captain of
which was Joāo Serrāo. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[41] There seems to be some mistake here or transcriber’s error. It
is seen by the narrative that the navigators, having arrived at
Port St. Julian at the end of March, or beginning of April, and
going out of it on the 24th of August, they wintered there for
the space of four months and twenty-four days, and this is what
Pigafetta says: “they passed there nearly five months.” _Lisbon
Ac. note._
[42] “E havia delles ao sull 73 gr. menos 10 minutos.” It has been
impossible for us to understand the calculations of the writer
in this place. _Lisbon Ac. note._ A possible explanation of this
passage may be found in a passage of Castanheda, lib. 6, cap. 13,
which describes St. Julian as distant from Seville 71 deg. from
North to South, and this calculation would refer to the distance
from Seville.
[43] The anonymous Portuguese, the companion of Duarte Barbosa, says
they gave it the name of “Santa Cruz,” because they arrived there
the 14th of September, the day of the Exaltation of the Holy
Cross. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[44] In the _Illustrated News_ of March 27th, 1869, there is a drawing
of some Patagonians: these are represented almost exactly as they
are described in the text, for some of them have their shoulders
bare, and the skins let down below the waist as here described.
[45] Probably in the ship which fled away, as will be mentioned later.
_Lisbon Ac. note._
[46] Amoretti, the editor of Pigafetta, observes, that whilst the
fleet was in the river of Santa Cruz, between 50 deg. and 40 deg.
South latitude, there was, on the 11th of October, an eclipse of
the Sun, “_which_ (he says) _the Portuguese and Spanish writers
mention, and which is registered in the astronomical tables_:”
and he judges it to be an error of Castanheda putting this
phenomenon on the 17th of April, and his attributing to Magellan
the calculation of longitude of which he speaks. Barros also
mentions an eclipse of the sun in April. It is noteworthy that
neither our pilot’s narrative nor Pigafetta mentions a phenomenon
which still in those times did not happen without causing some
impression on men’s minds, or at least without exciting public
curiosity. _Lisbon Ac. note._
I am indebted to the courtesy of the Astronomer Royal, Mr. G. B.
Airy, for the following information, which confirms Castanheda
and Barros: “1520, April 17. There was certainly (from our own
calculations) a total solar eclipse about 1.20 +P.M.+ Greenwich
time. But in the Art de verifier les dates, in which the extreme
Southern eclipses are not included, none is mentioned for April
17: consequently the eclipse was a Southern eclipse, crossing the
South Atlantic.”
[47] This is the famous strait which till this day is named the Strait
of Magellan, for the eternal and glorious memory of the famous
Portuguese who discovered it. Castanheda says that Magellan, on
account of arriving there on the 1st of November, gave it the
name of All Saints’ bay, and in the answer which André de S.
Martin gave to the inquiries made to him about that navigation,
he also names the channel that of All Saints’ (Barros, Dec. 3,
liv. 5, cap. 9). The anonymous Portuguese, the companion of
Duarte Barbosa, whom we have quoted above, and who sailed in
the “Victoria,” says that at first the navigators called it the
Strait of the Victoria, because that ship was the first which
sighted it. (Ramusio, 3rd edition, tom. i. page 370). _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[48] Alvaro de Mesquita, a Portuguese, and cousin of Magellan, was
captain of this ship which went to explore the passages of the
Straits, and did not return, and its pilot was Estevan Gomes,
also a Portuguese. This Estevan Gomes had been requesting the
Emperor Charles V. to confide to him a few caravels to go and
discover new lands; but as the proposal and enterprise of
Mazellan then interposed itself, and was preferred and accepted,
Estevan Gomes continued after that to be a great enemy of the
illustrious captain, and now profited by the opportunity to
revenge himself on him, and to give vent to his rabid envy. He
conspired, therefore, with others against the captain of his
ship, Alvaro de Mesquita; they put him in irons, and brought him
thus to Spain with the ship, telling the Emperor _that Magellan
was crazy, and had lied to His Majesty, because he did not
know where Banda was, nor Maluco_. Besides this, they brought
accusations against Mesquita of having counselled and persuaded
Magellan to use the severity and cruelty with which he punished
the first conspirators, etc. (V. the Letter of Transylvanus and
Castanheda, liv. 6, cap. 8). _Lisbon Ac. note._
[49] The ships _S. Antonio_ and _Conception_ were sent on this
exploration of the Straits; they were with difficulty able to
double the Cape Possession, named thus in Bougainville’s map,
and in others. They at length entered a narrow opening, which in
the maps is named the first gut, and they proceeded thence to
another bay, which is named Boucant bay, or Boucam. At the end of
this they entered into another strait, named the second gut, and
having passed that, they came out into another bay larger than
the former ones. Then, seeing that the strait was prolonged and
offered an outlet to the ships, they returned with the good news
to Magellan, who was waiting for them, and on seeing him, they
fired off all their artillery and shouted for joy. The fleet then
sailed together as far as the third bay, and as they found two
channels, Magellan despatched the two vessels, _S. Antonio_ and
_Conception_, to examine whether the channel, which took the S.W.
direction, would issue into the Pacific sea. Here it was that the
ship _S. Antonio_ deserted, going ahead of its companion for that
purpose. The other two ships, _Victoria_ and _Trinity_, meanwhile
entered the third channel, where they waited four days for the
explorers. During this interval, Magellan despatched a well
equipped boat to discover the cape with which the strait ought to
terminate: this having been sighted, and the boat returning with
the news, all shed tears of consolation, and they gave to this
cape the name of Cape Desire; it is that which is at the outlet
of the strait on the South side. They then turned back to seek
for the ships _Conception_ and _S. Antonio_, and leaving marks
by which this one might steer, in case of its having lost the
way (for they were still ignorant of its desertion), they sailed
forward until they came out into the Pacific Ocean. _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[50] The Paris Manuscript has “fully in 52 degrees.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[51] Pigafetta remarks: In the strait in which they were, in the month
of October, the night was only of three hours; and Transylvan
says that, in November the navigators found the night of little
more than five hours; and that on one night they saw to the left
hand many fires. It is from this that that country came to be
called _Terra do fogo_. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[52] The Paris MS. has, and also others which were, &c. Pigafetta
places these two islands in 15 deg. and 9 deg. South latitude.
See Amoretti’s note, p. 45, upon their situation, in which he
supposes them to be in the archipelago of the Society Islands.
In some maps they are designated by the name of _Infortunadas_.
_Lisbon Ac. note._
[53] Some writers remark that Magellan gave to these islands the name
of _Ilhas das velas_, on account of the many vessels with sails
which he observed in that neighbourhood. But they continued
to be commonly called _Ladrones_; later they took the name of
_Mariannas_, in honour of the Queen D. Marianna of Austria, widow
of Philip IV, and Regent during the minority of D. Carlos II. of
Castile. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[54] _Parós_: so our manuscripts always write it. In the edition of
Pigafetta it is constantly written _praós_. It is the same kind
of vessel that our writers of the affairs of Asia name _paraó_,
which is of various sizes, and is much used in the South Sea
Islands. Pigafetta says it is a kind of fusta or galliot. _Lisbon
Ac. note._
[55] The Paris manuscript has “much refreshments of fruit.” _Lisbon
Ac. note._
[56] “A primeira;” the Paris manuscript has “da primeira;” this means,
which was first sighted. See the _Relation of Pigafetta_,
_Amoretti_, p. 54, March 16, 1521. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[57] Pigafetta says: “We named the watering place of _Good Signs_,
because here we found two springs of excellent water, and the
first signs of there being gold in the country.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[58] Paris MS. _Guoroos._ _Lisbon Ac. note._
[59] Paris, “Chinas.”
[60] Paris MS.: “To which they gave the name of Archipelago of St.
Lazarus.” We suspect there is some error of the copyist here
in our text, not only on account of the novelty of the name
_Vall Sem Periguo_, but also on account of its impropriety. The
Paris MS. says simply Archipelago of St. Lazarus. Pigafetta
also says, “They gave the name of Archipelago of St. Lazarus,”
as they arrived there on the 5th Sunday of Lent, which is named
of Lazarus. Now, these islands are named Philippines, which was
given them in the year 1542, in honour of D. Philip of Austria,
son of Charles V, and afterwards King of Castile. They are
between 225 deg. and 235 deg. W. long. of Ferro, consequently
between 195 deg. and 205 deg. from the line of demarcation.
_Lisbon Ac. note._
[61] Paris MS.; “They ran a matter of 25 leagues from that.”
[62] Madrid MS., 9 degrees.
[63] Paris MS., Maçaguoa. Madrid MS., Maquamguoa.
[64] It appears this cross was set up in the island of Massaua, where
Mass was celebrated on the last day of March, which in this year
was Easter Sunday. The island is set down by Pigafetta in 9 deg.
40 min., and the editor puts it in 192 deg. W. long. from the
line of demarcation.
[65] This island, which is named and written Cabo in both MSS., is the
island Zebu, one of the Philippines, which others write Çabu,
Zabu, Subsuth, Zubut, Cubo, Subo, and Zubo, for it is found in
all these forms in different writings. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[66] Paris MS.: “And burned a village of those who would not yield the
said obedience.” The narrative of Pigafetta states: “He burned
twenty or thirty houses of the village.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[67] Pigafetta says: “We were 60 armed men, 48 went on shore with
Magellan; the 11 remained to guard the boats.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[68] Paris MS.: “And went against the said place, and it was on the
27th day of April.” Pigafetta also places this event on the 27th
of April, and observes that it was on _Saturday_, which in truth
took place that year on the 27th, and not on the 28th of April.
_Lisbon Ac. note._
[69] Pigafetta says: “With eight of our men there perished four
Indians of those who had become Christians, and we had many
wounded, I being one of them; of the enemy there fell only
fifteen men.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[70] Pigafetta says: “We then chose instead of the captain, Duarte
Barbosa, a Portuguese, his relation, and John Serrano, a
Spaniard. The first commanded the flagship.”
[71] Paris MS.: “They killed the two captains, and also 26 men with
them.” It was on this occasion that Duarte Barbosa, a Portuguese,
and brother-in-law of Magellan, was killed. He was one of the
captains here mentioned. Some of our writers have said, or
conjectured, that Duarte Barbosa was killed by poison; but this
is a mistake. The barbarians, indeed, drew the Castilians ashore
under the pretext of giving them a banquet, but it does not
follow from that that they poisoned them. The Transylvan says:
_inter epulandum, ab iis, qui in insidiis collocati fuerant,
opprimuntur. Fit clamor undique: nuntiatur protinus in navibus
nostros occisos._ See Barros, 3, 5, 10. The other captain, who
was John Serrano, was not killed, but remained alive in the
hands of the barbarians at the time the boats made off, because,
notwithstanding the most mournful supplications which he made
from the shore for rescue, Joan Lopes de Carvalho feared further
treachery, and ordered the anchor to be weighed. _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[72] Paris MS.: “One Yoam Lopez de Carvalho.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[73] Paris MS.: “Gonzalo Gomez Despinosa.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[74] Barros says 180 men, and this seems more probable, considering
the number of the men who sailed in the fleet and of those who
might then have been lost, and those who were lost later, and
also of those who at last reached Ternate and Europe. _Lisbon Ac.
note._ The Madrid MS. has 180 men, written in full, “Semte he
oytēta homēs.”
[75] Pigafetta says they burned the ship _Conception_.
[76] Paris MS., “Quype.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[77] Paris MS. has “two islets.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[78] Paris MS.: “which is named Cagujam, and is in seven degrees; from
this they went on further to the West North-west.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._ Madrid MS. seven degrees.
[79] Paris MS., “to the North-east.” Madrid MS., “North-east.” The
Lisbon Academy copyist has North-west, and has mistaken the Paris
MS. on this point.
[80] This position seems to indicate the island of Palavan, which
Pigafetta places in 9 deg. 20 min. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[81] Paris MS., “Degameāo.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS., “Dygamçam.”
[82] Paris MS., “ypalajra cara canāo.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read this,
“y palay cu cara canāo:” the Madrid MS. has “fulay cucara cabam.”
The word _palay_, Tagal for rice, and the next sentence in the
text seem to indicate that an offer to trade was mistaken for the
name of this island.
[83] Paris MS., “one hundredweight and fourteen pounds.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[84] Paris MS., “Digaçāo;” it is also written Digamcā and Digāçā.
_Lisbon Ac. note._
[85] Paris MS., “21st day of June.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS.,
“21st day of June.”
[86] Paris MS. “The island to the North is named Bolava, and that to
the South Bamdill.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS., “Bolina and
Bamdill.”
[87] Paris MS., “the neighbourhood of the port of Borneo.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[88] Paris MS., “Gonzalo Gomez Despinosa.”
[89] Paris MS., “with seventeen men.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read
twenty-seven in the Paris MS.
[90] _Sem se aproveitar nada delle_, or, without their having made any
use of it.
[91] Paris MS. “And so remained a matter of fourteen hours, for it was
low water, by which it was clearly seen that the tide was of
fourteen hours.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[92] Paris MS., “Cagamja.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[93] Paris MS., “Solloque.” _Ibid._
[94] Paris MS., “Tamgyma.” _Ibid._
[95] Paris MS., “Sagu.” _Ibid._
[96] Paris MS., “Samyns.” _Ibid._
[97] Paris MS., “light.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Paris MS. seems to me
to have “fresquo,” and not “ffraquo.”
[98] Paris MS., “Calibes.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[99] Paris MS., “five hundred.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[100] Paris MS., “in these discussions.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[101] Paris MS. “of Tidore.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[102] Pigafetta says: “On Friday, 8th of November, 1521, three hours
before sunset, we entered the port of an island called Tadore
... 27 months less two days had passed that we had been seeking
Maluco.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[103] Pigafetta puts this island in 0 deg. 27 min. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[104] In the Paris MS. this word _tem_ is wanting. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[105] Paris MS., “another bahar.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[106] Paris MS., “Tarnate.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[107] This clause seems to have been added to the text by the copyist;
because the fortress of Ternate was only begun in the year
1522, on St. John’s day, when Antonio de Brito was captain.
(Castanheda, 1. 6, cap. 12). _Lisbon Ac. note._ This clause may
belong to the writer, the pilot, since he mentions the fortress
and Antonio de Brito later, subsequent to July of 1522.
[108] The Portuguese here mentioned seems to be Pedro Affonso de
Lourosa, who betrayed the Portuguese and passed over to the
Castilians, according to Pigafetta’s account. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[109] Paris MS., “Bargāo.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read this Bachāo; this
is the correct spelling.
[110] The flagship was the _Trinidade_. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[111] Pigafetta says the King sent five divers, and afterwards three
more, who could not stop the water. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[112] Pigafetta sailed in this ship the _Victoria_. The _Trinidade_,
after refitting, took the opposite course and sailed for Yucatan
and the isthmus of Darien, which is here called _land of the
Antilles_; but it found itself obliged to put back to the
Moluccas, and whilst about to discharge its cargo at Ternate, was
cast on shore. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[113] Paris MS., “Tydore.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The correct reading.
[114] Paris MS., “North-north-east.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[115] Paris MS., “Domy.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[116] Paris MS. “The large one is named Chāol, and the small one
Pyliom.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[117] Paris MS., “Quemarre.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[118] Paris MS., “_agoa_,” water, but _hava_ or _ava_ is a drink used
in those countries. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[119] Paris MS., “Camarro.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[120] Paris MS., “25th.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[121] Paris MS., “steered seventeen leagues eastwards.” _Lisbon Academy
note._
[122] Paris MS., “Chao.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[123] Paris MS., “Batechina.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[124] Paris MS., “West.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[125] Paris MS., “islands of St. John:” it also says they made them on
the 6th. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[126] Paris MS., “Chyquom.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[127] Paris MS., “11th of June.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ July will be the
correct reading.
[128] Paris MS., “Magregua.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[129] Paris MS., “Māo.” _Ibid._
[130] Paris MS., “the black man and three Christians.” _Ibid._
[131] Paris MS., “Gelolo.” _Ibid._
[132] Paris MS., “certain men with letters.” _Ibid._
[133] Paris MS., “Dom Garcia.” Garcia, and not Gonzalo, was the name of
this gentleman. See Barros and Castanheda. _Lisbon Ac. note._
