OF A 



THOUSAND MILES TRAVEL AMONG THE INDIANS, 

 FROM SOUTH TO NORTH CAROLINA. 



On December tlie 28tli, 1700, 1 began n\y voyage 

 (for IN'ortli Carolina,) from Charlestown, being six 

 Englislimen in company, with, three Indian men 

 and one woman, wife to our Indian guide, having 

 ■^ve miles from the town to the breach, we w^ent 

 down in a large canoe, that we had provided for 

 our vo^^age thither, having the tide of ebb along 

 with us, which was so far spent by that time we 

 got down, that we had not water enough for our 

 craft to go over, although we drew but two feet, 

 or tliere-abouts. This breach is a passage through 

 a marsh lying to the northward of Sullivans island, 

 the pilots having a look-out thereon, lying very 

 commodious for mariners, (on that coast,) making 

 a good land-mark in so level a country, this bar 

 being difficult to hit, where an obj^crvation hath 

 been wanting for a day or two ; north-east winds 

 bringing great fogs, mists and rains, which, to- 

 wards the cool months of October,. November, and 

 iiiitil the latter end of March, often appear in these 

 parts.
