| Transcription: | Alli 8 del corrente mese di Aprile che arrivato a Monte Cristo li sopravenne altra fortuna di venti Uvest [sic] fu così grande e crudele che l’onde del grosso mare cavalcavano la nave da poppa a prua con evidente periculo di metterla in fondo e con tanto travolgio che tornò di nuovo a far acqua in gran copia e convenne rimettere le genti ad agottare con la tromba è con l’acqua usciva gran quantità di grano |
