ched calicos, course white calicos, browne broad calicos,
browne course calicos. There were also canopies, and course
diaper-towels, quilts of course sarcenet and of calico, car-
pets like those of Turky; wherunto are to be added the
pearle, muske, ciuet, and amber-griece. The rest of the
wares were many in number, but lesse in value; as ele-
phants teeth, porcellan vessels of China, coco-nuts, hides,
ebenwood as blacke as iet, bedsteads of the same, cloth
of the rindes of trees very strange for the matter, and arti-
ficiall in workemanship. All which piles of commodities
being by men of approued iudgement rated but in reaso-

which being diuided among the aduenturers (whereof her
Maiesty was the chiefe) was sufficient to yeeld contentment

had three, this being the place where there was most exten-

31 foot at her departure from Cochin in India, but not
above 26 at her arriuall in Dartmouth, being lightened in
her voyage by diuers meanes, some 5 foote. She caried in
height 7 seuerall stories, one maine Orlop, three close decks,
one fore-castle, and a spar-decke of two floores a piece. The
length of the keele was 100 foote, of the maine-mast 121
