THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



Pitch to trim 

 shtppes. 



The river of 

 Cusse-zcinne. 



we brought her on ground right before the town, and 

 trimmed her with the pitch of the countrey : and untill 

 wee had done, kept a corps du guard, night and day 

 on shore, which was upon Saturday following the ninth 

 of Aprill. All the while we were there we had an 

 house of the Caribes, and were kindely used of them, 

 and had victuals, and every thing we needed of them. 

 And so taking our leave on Tuesday being the 

 twelfth of Aprill, wee came to the mouth of Cusse- 

 winne, where the Arwaccas of Marrac and of the river had 

 provided and brought to us such infinite store of potatoes, 

 and Guiney-wheate, that the stewarde sayd wee had no 

 stowage for them ; and so they were turned backe, and 

 wee by that meanes came to shorter allowance home ward 

 bound, then (if there had bene any good care) wee 

 needed to have done. 



On Fryday the fifteeneth of Aprill, wee put foorth 



Maraivinne. of Marawinne, which is some foure leagues over, and 

 within one league and an halfe for the most part broad ; 

 full of islands, and divers small rivers running into it : and 

 it is betweene forty and fifty leagues, from the mouth to 

 the falles, and lyeth for the most part South Southwest 

 up, altering some 3 poynts, being almost streight. And 

 standing along to the Westward, this night we tryed with 

 our mayne coarse and bonnet. On Saturday night we 

 came to an anker, in three fathomes against Sewramo. 

 On Sunday morning we thought to have gone into Cuppa- 

 namo : but sending off our boat & finding uncertaine 

 sounding, sometimes 3 fathomes and presently 9 foote, 

 we stood along to Coritine, and came into it upon the 

 Munday being the 1 8 of Aprill : and the next night wee 

 came to anker against Warrawalle in 10 fathoms. On 

 Wednesday the Indians of the towne having hunted a 

 Doe, shee tooke soyle & came neer our ship, and putting 

 off with our boat we tooke her, being like unto our deere 

 in England, not altogether so fat, but very good flesh and 



[III. 696.] great bodied. In this river we met a Barke called the 

 John of London captaine Leigh being in her. And being 



Sewramo, 



Coritine 

 river.
