toward the North. Having thus searched the River, 



I went on land to speake with the Indians which 



waited for us upon the shore, which at our comming 



on land, came before us, crying with a loude voyce 



in their Indian language, Antipola Bonassou, which is 



as much to say, as brother, friend, or some such like 



[III. 321.] thing. After they had made very much of us, they 



shewed us their Paracoussy, that is to say, their King 



and Governour, to whom I presented certaine toyes,
