would liken to a bayonet.

obtained a half-interest in him, and was there exhibited. He died at
Oxford. See Dampier's Voyage, pp. 511, 513-517.

[11] Dampier describes the Acapulco ships and their route as
follows (chapter ix): "The Ships that Trade hither are only three,
two that constantly go once a Year between this [i.e., Acapulco]
and Manila and Luconia, one of the Philippine Islands, and one Ship
more every Year to and from Lima. This from Lima commonly arrives
a little before Christmas; she brings them Quick-silver, Cacao,
and Pieces of Eight. Here she stays till the Manila Ships arrive,
and then takes in a Cargo of Spices, Silks, Callicoes, and Muslins,
and other East-India Commodities, for the use of Peru, and then
returns to Lima. This is but a small Vessel of 20 Guns, but the two
Manila Ships are each said to be above 1000 Tun. These make their
Voyages alternately, so that one or other of them is always at the
Manila's. When either of them sets out from Acapulco, it is at the
latter end of March, or the beginning of April; she always touches to
refresh at Guam, one of the Ladrone Islands, in about 60 Days space
after she sets out. There she stays but two or three Days, and then
prosecutes her Voyage to Manila, where she commonly arrives some
time in June. By that time the other is ready to sail from thence,
laden with East-India Commodities. She stretcheth away to the North
as far as 36, or sometimes into 40 degrees of North lat. before she
gets a Wind to stand over to the American shoar. She falls in first
with the Coast of California, and then Coasts along the shoar to the
South again, and never misses a Wind to bring her away from thence
quite to Acapulco. When she gets the length of Cape St. Lucas, which
is the Southernmost point of California, she stretcheth over to Cape
Corientes, which is in about the 20th degree of North lat. from thence
she Coasts along till she comes to Sallagua, and there she sets ashoar
Passengers that are bound to the City of Mexico. From thence she makes
her best
