| Transcription: | E come ancora, essendo e ritrovandosi verso Alicante si levò burrasca con venti di levante che durò tutto lo spatio di cinque o sei giorni e per la forza di vele che fu forzato di fare con l’intendimento del Piloto et altri ufficiali per sfuggire il perdimento di detta nave li ruppe l’albero di maestra, rompendosi tutte le sarchie venendo a tutto con tutto il giogo delle vele, che perciò fu forzato a dare in terra a spiaggia di logaro novo, dove quivi per rifarcirsi dimorò per lo spatio di quattro giorni e quivi ancora patì gran danno per la tempesta segandoseli le gumine dalli scogli |
