Page 109 (recto): The REALL FFRENSHIPPE arrives at Tenerife. Barlow goes ashore in a boat, a dangerous journey through rocks. He drinks some Canary Sack wine in a Spanish house, which is very good but makes him feel drunk. The ship loads up with pipes of wine, most of which are tasted to make sure they are not water.
Page 110 (verso): The crew have difficulty fetching water, and the seas around Tenerife are dangerous. A small ship is captured by a Moorish man-of-war, but the crew avoid being taken into slavery by escaping to the shore. Barlow describes the islands and their produce.
