CAPTAIN1 WILLIAM DAMPIER'S VOYAGE ROUND THE TERRESTRIAL GLOBE THE INTRODUCTION The Author's Departure from England, and Arrival in Jamaica. His first going over the Isthmus of America into the South Seas: His coasting along Peru and Chili, and back again, to his parting with Captain Sharp near the Isle of Plata, in order to return over Land. I FIRST set out of England on this Voyage at the An. beginning of the year 1679, in the Loyal Merchant of l679 London, bound for Jamaica, Captain Knapman Commander. I went a Passenger, designing when I came thither, to go from thence to the Bay of Campeachy, in the Gulph of Mexico, to cut Log-wood: where in a former Voyage * I had spent about three years in that employ; and so was well acquainted with the place and the work. We sailed with a prosperous gale without any impediment, or remarkable passage in our Voyage: unless that An. when we came in sight of the Island Hispaniola,1 and were 1679 coasting along on the South side of it by the little Isles of Vacca, or Ash, I observed Captain Knapman was more vigilant than ordinary, keeping at a good distance off shore, for fear of coming too near those small low Islands; as he did once, in a Voyage from England, about the year 1673, losing his Ship there, by the carelessness of his Mates. But we succeeded better; and arrived safe at Port Royal in Jamaica some time in April 1679, and went immediately ashore. 1 The early editions describe him as Mr. * He first visited Campeachy Bay in August 1675. He returned to the logwood cutters, "being resolved to spend some time at the Logwood Trade," in February 1676. In June of that year a great storm, following upon a sharp bout of " guinea-worm," compelled him to go buccaneering. He cruised for " 11 or 12 months..".
