Moreover they found, just beyond the church, a \*tanque\* of wrought ashlar, in which we took as much water as we wanted; and at the top of the whole island stood a great \*tanque\* of the depth of 4 fathoms, and moreover we found in front of the church a beach where we careened the ship.”—\*Roteiro\*, 95. - [Previous: c10.399](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.399) - [Next: c10.401](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.401) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.400](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.400) · Pramāṇa
