20 Mr. WAFERS Voyages, &c: 



with two Indians more, who made fix in all, 

 to Row or Paddle us. 5 and our Condition 

 now was well altered. 



In fix Days time after this, they brought 

 us to Lucent* $ Houfe, who had before faved 

 our Lives. 



La-ehta s ^ 11S Houfe is fituated on a fine little Hill, 

 Palace? °h which grows the ftatelieft Grove of Cot- 

 ton Trees that ever I faw. The Bodies of 

 cotton thefe Trees were generally fix foot in Dia- 

 rrees. meter, nay fome eight, nine, ten, eleven 5 

 for four Indians and my felf took hand in 

 hand round a Tree, and could not fathom it 

 by three foot. Here was likewife a (lately 

 Plantain-walk, and a Grove of other fmall 

 Trees, that would make a Pleafant artificial 

 Wildernefs, if Induftry and Art were bellow- 

 ed on it. 



The Circumference of this Pleafant little 

 Hill, contains at leaft 100 Acres of Land $ 

 and is a Peninfula of an Oval form, almoft 

 furrounded with two great Rivers, one com* 

 ing from theEafl, the other from the Weft 5 

 which approaching within 40 foot of each 

 other, at the front of the Peninfula, feparate 

 again, embracing the Hill, and meet on the 

 other fide, making there one pretty large 

 R iver, which runs very fwift. There is there- 

 fore but one way to come in towards this 

 Seat 3 which as I before obferved, is not a- 

 bove 40 foot wide, between the Rivers on 

 each fide : and 'tis fenced with hollow Sam- 

 boes, Popes-heads and Prickle-pears, fo thick
