to a third Ifland, that lay ten or twelve Leagues 

 off the former, which we quitted in the Morning. 

 In this third Ifland our Savages kill'd thirty or forty 

 Pheafants, which I was not ill pleas'd with. 



The Stb the Wind proving unferviceable to us, 

 by reafon that 'twas intercepted by Hills covered 

 with Firs, we ply'd our Oars; and about two in the 

 Afternoon, defcry'd on the left Hand large Mea-

 and fo we all fteer'd to the chief Village, which we 

 did not reach till Midnight. I ordered our Hutts 

 to be made up on a point of Land near a little Ri-
