The Indians of Virginiafav exceed tliofe o£ Maryland, in Treachery 

 and Cruelty to the Englifh there, as will appear by this following Re- 

 lation of their Proceedings towards them, fince the firft Seating of that 

 Colony, wherein neverthdefs.the Civility of fome particular Perfons 

 at their firft Landing is not to be omitted. 



Upon the firftarrival of Captain /Jmidas and Captain < Barlorp in Win- Tranra ^«- 

 aandacoa, now Virginia, they were accofted by Granganimeo (the King's the e*m 

 Brother of that Countrey) who, attended with a Train of forty or fif- ai 

 ty Men, came in a very civil manner to Treat about a Commerce of 

 Trade and Traffique, which immediatly began between them,and fe- 

 deral Barters were made : (jranganimeo, who was very juft of his word, 

 and always kept his promis'd Day of meeting , fancying moft a Pew- 

 ter Difti, gave twenty Deer-skins for it, and boring a Hole therein, 

 hung it about his Neck for a Breaft^plate ; afterwards he, with his 

 whole Company, and his Wife and Children, frequently and famili- 

 arly did eat and drink aboard the Englifh Ships,the King himfelf call'd 

 Jfingina, lying fitk at his chief Town, fix days Journy off, of a dange- 

 rous Wound which %e had receiv'd from a neighboring King his 

 mortal Enemy.- Some of the Englifh going to Land upon the I fle of 

 Tfyanoacf^ were rtiet by Granganimeo sWik, who, her Husband being 

 abfent,commanded her Servants fome to draw their Boat afhore,fonie 

 to carry them on their Backs to Land , others to carry their Oars into 

 the Houfe for fear of ftealing; and having caus'd a great Fire to be 

 made to warm them, and to dry thofe that had been wet in their Voi- 

 age, (he afterwards entertain'd them with a plentiful Feaft or Banquet 

 after that Country fafhion • and when they took alarm at the coming 

 of two or three of her Men with Bows and Arrows, (he caus'd the 

 Bows to be broken,and the Men to be beaten out of the Houfe,befides 

 feveral other demonftrations of extraordinary civility \ and when not 

 withftanding all this they could not be perfwaded to Lodg any where 

 but in their Boat , (he us'd all means imaginable to make them quit 

 their Jealoufy, and accept of a Lodging in the Houfe.
