Text describes Oliver Leagh's voyage to Guiana in 1605. Captain St. John went ashore at Saint Lucia with a number of the crew. There they built a settlement and traded peacefully with local Caribs. Suddenly the English were attacked by native warriors. Some of the English escaped at night by taking canoes to their moored ship. This work was first published in German, as part XIII (1628) and part XIV (1630). Here Merian united the two parts and had them translated into Latin. Together the work includes 15 sections.
