8 Mr, W AFERV Voyages, Sec, 



gaimft their Wills 5 the Severity of the Rainy 

 Seafon being then fo great, that even the In* 

 dians themfelveshad no mind for Travelling,

 Weather or Ways. 



When Gopfon, Hingfon, and I had lived 3

 Guides, and having no other Suftenance but 

 a few Plantains they found here and there,

 faw him lie dead on the Shore which the 

 Floods were gone off from, with the Rope 

 twifted about him, and his Money at his 

 Neck $ but they were fo fatigued, they card 

 not to meddle with it. Thefe after their com-

 left us 5 and our Provifion was ftill at the 

 fame Rate, and the Countenances of the In- 

 dians as ftern towards us as ever, having yet 

 no News of their Friends whom our Men had 

 taken as their Guides. Yet notwithftanding 

 their Difguft , they took care of my Wound 5 

 which by this time was pretty well healed, 

 and I was enabled to walk about. But at 

 lengtlj not finding their Men return as they
