Ifi Mr. WAFERS Voyages, Sec. 



After a little Confideration what Courfe to fleer 

 next, we concluded it beft to follow the Track of 

 a Pecary or Wild -Hog, hoping it might bring us 

 to fome old Plantain-Walk or Potato-Piece, which 

 thefe Creatures often refort to, to look for Food : 

 This brought us, according to our expectation, to 

 an old Plantation, and in fight of a new one. But 

 here again fear overwhelmed us, being between two 

 • Straights, either to ftarve or venture up to the In- 

 The are dian Houfes, whom being fo near, we were now 

 ftx^indT a ^ ra ^ °^ a g a * n > not " knowing how they would re- 

 ans* n 1 ceive us. But fince there was no avoiding it, it was 

 concluded that one fhould go up to the Houfe, 

 .while the reft ftaid behind to fee the Iffuc. In con- 

 clufion I went to the Plantation, and it proved the 

 fame that we came from. The Indians were all a~ 

 mazed to fee me, and began to ask many Queftions: 

 But I prevented them by falling into a Swoon, 

 occafionM by the heat of the Houfe, and the fcent 

 The mil of the Meat that was boyling over the Fire. The 

 Indians " were very officious to help me in this Extre- 

 mity, and when I revived they gave me a little to 

 eat. Then they enquired of me for the other 4 

 Men ; for whom they prefently fent, and brought 

 all but Gobfon, who was left a little further off, and 

 treated us all very kindly : For our long-expefted 

 Guides were now returned from the North- fide, and 

 gave large Commendations of the Kindnefs and Ge- 

 nerofity of our Men ; by which means all the In- 

 dians were become now again our very good Friends. 

 The Indian who was fo particularly kind to us, 

 perceiving Mr. Gob/on was not yet arrived at the 

 Plantation, carried out Victuals to him, and after 

 he was a little refrefhed with that, brought him 

 up to us. So that now we were all together again, 

 and had a great deal of care taken of us.
