pfr Mr. WAFE^RV Voyages, &e. 



larize as to all the Places or Occurrences 

 we met with $ for I kept no Journal : But 

 fome fuch Things as I took more particular 

 notice of, and thought worth remarking I 

 flhalj briefly fpeak of as I go along. 



Being in great want of Provifion while 

 we lay here, we went afhore, in order to 

 fupply our Neceffities at a Beef-Eftantion 

 on the Continent, at the South of the Cod 

 of the Bay, which lay from the landing- 

 place about three Miles. In our way we 

 Um River. we re forced to pafs a hot River in an open 

 Savannah, although we made fome difficulty 

 at it by Reafon of its Heat. This River 

 iffued out from under a Hill : But it was 

 no Vulcan, tho 5 there ar,e feverai on this 

 Coaft. I had the Curiofity to wade up the 

 Srream as far as I had Day-light to guide 

 me : The Water was clear and (hallow, 

 but the Streams under the Hill were like 

 thofe of a Boiling Pot, and my Hair was 

 wet with them. The River without the 

 Hill reek'd for a great way. Many of our 

 Men who had the Itch bath'd themfelves_ 

 here, and growing well foon after, they 

 imputed it to the Sulphuroufnefs, or other 

 Virtue of this Water, In this place are a 

 Wolves, Multitude of Waives, which are the boldeft 

 'I that ever I met with : for they would come 

 fo near, as to be almoft ready to pull the 

 Flefli out of our Hands ; Yet we durft not 

 ftqqf them for fear the noife of our
