 were fome open places. 



On the more of Java we faw fome fmalV 

 reddifh rocks, and fea-turtlcs on the water. 

 In the evening the Iky was covered with fome 

 clouds fhining like gold, upon which rain and 

 thunder enfucd. The inhabitants along the 

 ihore lighted feveral fires to frighten wild
