The course betweene the Triangle and the Sandy Island
to S. Juan de Ullua.WHEN you have lost your depth, stirre away Southwest to
fetch the Sierras or hils of S. Martin: and to knowe the
hils of S. Martin, there are 2. hils stretching Northeast
and Southwest, and the Southwest is greater then that on
the Northeast, but the Northermost hill is higher, and
maketh on the top a flat point and very high, and without
it, it hath an Island which is called Roca partida, or The
cloven rock: and if it be cleare, on the Southwest side an
high lande like a topsaile will appeare, and then shall you
bee North and South with The Pan or Loafe of Nisapa.
Note, that these Sierras or Hilles of Sant Martin are all
blacke and full of trees, and make no shewe as Villa rica
doth: And marke this, that by how much you come neerer
them, so much the higher will they shewe unto you:
neither shall you finde any bottome till you bee at the
very shore.
