Beschreibung | William Dampier (* August 1651, getauft am 5. September in , Somerset, England; † März 1715 in London) war ein britischer Freibeuter, dreimaliger Weltumsegler, Entdecker und Geograph. |
The 6th of August in the morning we saw an opening in the land and we ran into it, and anchored in 7 and a half fathom water, 2 miles from the shore, clean sand.
Among the New Hollanders whom we were thus engaged with, there was one who by his appearance and carriage, as well in the morning as this afternoon, seemed to be the chief of them, and a kind of prince or captain among them.
