Mr. WAFE RV Voyages, Sec. 15 

 When I awoke I found my Knees in the Hei sbefe£ 

 Water, though the loweft part of my hollow w ithd * 

 Trunk was, as I faid, 4 foot above the ground ; aKrS * 

 and the Water was running as 'fwift, as if 

 'twere in the middle of the River. The 

 Night was ftill very Dark, but only when 

 the flames of Lightning came : Which made 

 it fo dreadful and terrible, that I forgot my 

 Hunger, and was wholly taken up with pray!

 and in lefs than half an hour the Day be^an 

 to dawn, the Rain and Lightning ceaftd rhe 

 and the Waters abated, infomtich that 

 that time the Sun was up, the Water was °' 

 gone off from my Tree.

 ramble to the Place where we had made "our 

 Fire, but found no Body there. Then I call'd 

 out aloud, but was anfwer'd only with my 

 own Eccho 5 which ftruck fuch Terror into 

 me, that^Ifell down as dead, being opprefs'd 

 both with Grief and Hunger 5 this being the 

 7th pay of our Faft, fave only the Maccaw- 

 berries before related. 



Being in this Condition, defpairing of He meets 

 Comfort for want of myConforts, I lay fome- a ? aifl wit ^ 

 time on the wet Ground, till at laft I heard 



a "voice
