He means Bartolomé and Gonzalo Nodal, who, under orders from the king of Spain to follow up the discoveries of Schouten and Le Maire, made in 1619 the first circumnavigation of Tierra del Fuego, sailing southward, westward past Cape Horn, northward, then eastward through the Strait of Magellan. The book referred to as possessed by the buccaneers is the Relacion del Viaje que ... hizieron los Capitanes Bartolome Garcia de Nodal y Gonçalo de Nodal hermanos (Madrid, 1621), of which a translation was printed by the Hakluyt Society in 1911, in Sir Clements Markham's Early Spanish Voyages to the Strait of Magellan.
