De El La Del Found Degrees North Coast

Back About the twelfth day, the weather abating a little, the master made an observation as well as he could, and found that he was in about eleven degrees north latitude, but that he was twenty-two degrees of longitude difference west from Cape St. Augustino; so that he found he was upon the coast of Guiana, or the north part of Brazil, beyond the river Amazon, toward that of the river Orinoco, commonly called the Great River; and began to consult with me what course he should take, for the ship was leaky, and very much disabled, and he was going directly back to the coast of Brazil.
Front Hacia el duodécimo día, cuando el tiempo se hubo calmado un poco, el capitán intentó fijar la posición del barco lo mejor que pudo, y se dio cuenta de que estaba a once grados de latitud norte pero a veintidós grados de longitud oeste del cabo de San Agustín. Así, pues, advirtió que nos encontrábamos entre la costa de Guyana, o la parte septentrional de Brasil, más allá del río Amazonas, hacia el río Orinoco, comúnmente llamado el Gran Río.
