Church, 306. The fifteenth volume of Hulsius’ collection
of voyages.
Inspite of the title page assertion that he was a Captain,
Coverte was a steward on the ship Ascension, together
with the ship the Union, made up the fourth voyage of the
East India Company. The other three voyages under
Lancaster in 1601, Middleton in 1604, and Keeling in
1607, had all been great successes. The voyage
commenced in 1608 under Capt. Alex Sharpey and after
the Union’s loss of mast in a storm of the Cape, she put in
to the bay of St. Augustine in the south west of
Madagascar for a refit. In the meantime the Ascension
went on to Mozambique and the Seychelles and was
wrecked near Surat. The ships company broke up and
Coverte took a route overland via Persia to England.
This was the first journey by an Englishman along this
route.

This expedition set out to find if there was a native
Chinese other than what appeared as “a slant eyed yellow
race. First of all, the three independant territories must be
explored. There would only there be a possibility of
finding completely unmixed populations which would
reveal their the appropriate characteristics oftheir race;
next we should look for these characteristics among the
half-subjected tribes, and finally among the populations of
Chinese aspect which dwell in the surrounding
territories.”
