Quotation from: The Part Borne by the Dutch in the Discovery of Australia 1606-1765

_Chart of Hessel Gerritsz, VII C (1616)._


I print such of the legends of this chart as refer to the results of this
expedition:


"Duynich landt boven met boomen ende boseage.
Laegh ghelijck verdroncken landt.
't Landt van de Leeuwin beseylt Ao 1622 in Maert [*]. Laegh duynich landt."
[Dunes with trees and underwood at top.--Low land seemingly submerged (by
the tide).--Land made by the ship Leeuwin in March, 1622.--Low land with
dunes].
