Dear Diary,
It is 75 degrees from the isles of Canary. We anchored our ships a league and a half from the land. We were heading towards the land, and before we reached the land, we had a great sight of numerous people going along the shore, who were much rejoiced. We noticed that they were of naked race. They shewed themselves to stand in fear of us. I believe this is so because they saw us clothed.
