In 1683 while engaging in piracy in South and Central America, William Dampier arrived at a village near Acapulco, Mexico, where a mulatto woman told his crew of a mule train loaded with flour and other goods that Dampier needed. The woman guided them to a farm house where the mules were found loaded with flour, cheese, chocolate, and earthenware.Volume six contains an account of voyages around the world. This section relates to William Dampier.
