as we came near the fhoar, they began to jump in- 

 to our Canows ; but I gave 'em to know by the 

 four EJJanapes Slaves, that I defir'd they fhould re* 

 tire, which they did immediately. Then I landed, 

 being accompany'd with the Savages of our Com- 

 pany, namely, the Out agam*>, and the Outaouaf, and ,. 

 with twenty Soldiers. At the fame time I gave or-
