according to the Old Navigator, some Indians camped 

 on it, Made us Load all our pieces — 



I saw Two Eagles Nest, One of them I remembered 

 seeing as I went to New Orleans 1 8 months ago it had 

 being worked upon and no doubt young Where raised 

 in it, it is in a Large Cypress Tree, Not very high, 

 Made of Very Large Dead sticks and about 8 feet in 

 Diameter —

 that the Bald Eagle and the Brown Eagle are Two 

 Diferent Species —

 below us, ran him down and Brought him to the 

 Boats; Cleaned, it Weighed 1/12 ^^ had 9 points to its
