ent pofitions. In this Dutch church there is nei- 

 ther altar, veftry, choir, fconces, nor paintings. 

 Some trees are planted round it, which make it 

 look as if it was built in a wood. 3. The old 

 Dutch Churchy which is alfo built of ftone. It is 

 not fo large as the new one. It was painted in the 

 infide, though without any images, and adorned 

 with a fmall organ, of which governor Burnet 

 made them a prefent. The men, for the moft 

 part, fit in the gallery, and the women below. 

 4. The Prejbyterian church, which is pretty large, 

 and was built but lately. It is of ftone, and has 

 a fteeple and a bell in it. 5. The German Luthe- 

 ran Church. 6. The German Reformed Church. 7. 

 The French Churchy for proteftant refugees. 8 Thg 

 Quaker's Meeting houfe. 9. To thefe may be ad- 

 ded the Jewifi Synagogue 9 which I mentioned 

 before. 



TOWARDS the fea, on the extremity of the 

 promontory, is a pretty good fortrefs, called Fort 

 George ', which entirely commands the port, and 

 can defend the town, at leaft from a fudden 

 attack on the fea fide. Befides that, it is likewife 

 fecured on the north, or towards the more, by a 

 pallifade, which however (as for a confiderable 

 time the people have had nothing to fear from 

 an enemy) is in many places in a very bad ftate 

 of defence. 



THERE is no good water to be met with in 

 the town itfelf, but at a little diftance there is a 

 large fpring of good water, which the inhabitants 

 take for their tea, and for the ufes of the kitchen. 

 Thofe however, who are lefs delicate in this 

 point, make ufe of the water from the wells in 



town.
