1. sepultado no alto mar, na altura de Cabo Verde............ vindo do Rio de Janeiro, como justificado com testemunhas oculares.
Translation: Buried at high Sea, at Cape Verde's level.... coming from Rio de Janeiro, as justifified by witnesses who saw it. The priest is correct. It is almost a straight line from Rio to Cape Verde. In order to return to the Azores the ship passes Cape Verde islands to the east of its trajectory.
