_August 25._--We departed in the mornying from Anushma to a port on the maine of Faccata, called Chuiasaquy,[20] 3 leagues from Anushma, and 19 to short of Shimnaseaque. Here we understood of a small China junck which was entred into a port of Faccatay, 4 leagues hence, called Ginushma, being driven thither per contrary windes, but bound for Firando, laden with suger, purselon, and other matters. But the _Tono_ of Faccata will not let her goe for Firando, but discharg and sell her goodes there.
[20] Tsuyasaki. In the margin is also added the name, Wattary.
_August 27._--I was enformed this day that the China junk which was at Ginushma, 3 leagues hence, was one of the 3 which the Hollanders took and put their men into. These Chinas, having lost the sight of the Holland shippe, made the 7 Hollanders drunk that were put into the junk, and then cut their throtes; but, the wind being contrary, they could not retorne for China, but passed by Firando and soe put into Faccatay, where they staid not longe but put to sea againe, thinking them selves to neare Firando, where the Hollanders are; and are gone, as the report is, to a harbor on the north part of Japan, called Quitamare. Some are of opinion that the junk which put into the back side of Xaxma or Bongo, whome went to Miaco to sell their silke, was lykwais one of them, although it were geven out they were theeves and 71 had stolne that silk and goodes from their owne cuntremen.
_August 28._--This day being a festivall day, our host of Wattary (we lying ashore) envited us to dynner at his owne charge.
_August 29._--The _bongew_ of Faccata envited us to dyner, and sent me word he was sorry he was out of the place when we arived, otherwais that we should have lodged in his howse. Soe with thadviz of Mr. Nelson we sent hym a present of a peece of damask and a bottell of annise water.
And within night, the wind coming sotherly, we waid ancor and put to sea from Watary, and paid out in howse where we la these 5 dais, viz.:--
1 bar plate to good man howse 2 3 0 And 1 peece green taffety And to his wife, in small plate 0 3 0 And to his littell child 0 1 0 And to his servantes 0 2 0
_August 30._--We arived at Shimenasek this day, about 3 a clock in thafter nowne, having made 20 leagues. Here our host tould me that Leon overtook Capt. Adames before he arived at Osakay, and that the bark Leon went in retorned back per this place 5 daies past, and is gon for Firando, and that the marrenars tould hym Capt. Adames ment to stay for me at Miaco, which God grant.
