Mr. WAFERS Voyages, &cc. 3 of 



afliore, as is reported by feveral Privateers : And 

 the End of the Rocks on the one Side, and fome of 

 the Samballoes Iflands, (the Range of which begins 

 from hence ) on the other Side, guard it from the 

 Sea, and make it a very good Harbour. This, as 

 well as the reft, is much frequented by Privateers ; 

 and is by thofe of our Country callM, Tickle flieTickleme 

 quickly Harbour. quickly 



All along from hence to Point Sanhallas, lie the Harbour - 

 Samballoes Iflands, a great Multitude of them fcat-JjJJ^^. 

 tering in a Row, and collaterally too, at very une- 

 qual Diftances, fome of one, fome 2, or 2 Mile and 

 a half, from the Shore, and from one another - 3 

 which, with the adjacent Shore, its Hills and perpe- 

 tual Woods, make a lovely Landfchape off at Sea. 

 There are a great many more of thefe Iflands than 

 could well be reprefented in the Map ; fome of them 

 alfo being very fmall. They feem to lie parceled 

 out in Clutters, as it were ; between which general- 

 ly, there are navigable Channels, by which you 

 may enter within them ; and the Sea between the 

 whole Range and the Jfthmus is navigable from End 

 to End, and affords every where good anchoring, 

 in hard fandy Ground, and good Landing on the 

 Iflands and Main. In this long Channel, on the In- 

 fide of fome or other of thofe little Keys or Iflands, 

 be the Winds how they will, you never fail of a 

 good Place for any Number of Ships to ride at ; fo 

 that this was the greateft Rendezvous of the Friva-^ sound's 

 teers on this Coaft ; but chiefly La Sound's Key, orKey. 

 Springer's Key, efpecially if they ftaid any Time springer^ 

 here ; as well becaufe thefe 2 Iflands afford a good Ke ^ 

 Shelter for careening, as becaufe they yield Wells of 

 freih Water upon digging, which few of the refit 

 do. The Samballoe's are generally low, flat, fandy 

 Iflands, cover'd with Variety of Trees ; [efpecially Treesin 

 with Mammees, Sapadilloes, and Manchinee!, the s*r%- 

 befide the Shell-fifli, and other Refrcfhments they* 4// ^ 



afford
