quented or resorted to, except it be by small Crofts and Peri- 

 augers. I shall therefore omit giving any further Account 

 of them. 



North Caroliiia has some considerable Promontories or 

 Capes in it : That Cape called Hatteras, is the most Northern 

 of this Province, it lyes in the Latitude of 35 Degrees and 

 20 Minutes, Longitude 75. Cape Look-out, is the largest in 

 this Province, extending a great way into the Main Ocean, 

 and is about two Leagues to the Northward or Mouth of Top- 

 sail Inlet, in the Latitude of 34 Degrees and 46 Minutes, 

 Longitude 75, 50. Cape Fear lyes at the Mouth of the Inlet 

 in the Latitude of 33 Degrees and 53 Minutes, Longitude 77, 

 20. Cape Carterett is part of South Carolina, and is the 

 Northermost Promontorie in that Province, lying to the 

 Southward of Santee Kiver in Latitude 32 of Degrees, and 

 50 Minutes, Longitude 77, 55. Within these Capes is a very 

 large Sound, with abundance of Islands of several Sizes, 

 abounding with various kinds of Timber Trees, many whereof 

 are fine Cedar, with variety of Wild Beasts, especially Deer, 

 and great Quantities of Birds, according to the Seasons of 

 the Year, but there are scarce any of them inhabited by Chris- 

 tian Planters at present. 



I shall in the next Place proceed to give an Account of the 

 Rivers that are to be met with in this Province; many 

 whereof are very considerable and large, running for several 

 hundred Miles, and taking their Rise for the most part in 

 or near the Mountains, others are but small in comparison 

 with the former, as may be seen by the Map. 



I shall therefore begin with the most Northerly, and so pro- 

 ceed to the most Southerly. And first, Blach-Water, or North 

 River, which falls into Currituck Sound, North River, Pas-
