1 6H Mr. W A F E RV Voyages, &c. 



we afcended a Hill, in hopes to defcry that 

 River from the top thereof 5 but contrary 

 to our Expe&ation, when we came to the 

 top., we had yet another fteep and very 

 high Hill to climb, and another after that 5 

 infomuch that before we reached the utmoft 

 heigh th, I fainted for want of Water : 

 But refreshing my felf with that of my 

 own, I at laft came to the top of the third 

 Mountain, where we fat down and refted 

 Our felves under the (hade of a vaft craggy 

 Sea-rtieiis Rock. The Place where we fate was co- 

 on the tops ver'd wirh Sand and Sea- (hells of divers 

 No shell- Shapes and Forms 3 tho* indeed, which I 

 fifh on the wonder'd at, there were no Shell- A(h on 

 coait. t j ie shores a ii along this whole Coaft. I 

 have landed at many Places of it, but could 

 never find any. When we had refted our 

 felves in this Place, which was as near as 

 we could compute 8 Miles from the Sea, 

 and at leaft a Mile in perpendicular above 

 it, we looked round us to fee for the River$ 

 but to our great Grief could difcover none. 

 All this Land, as well high as low Ground, 

 is cover'd with Sand and Sea-fhells, many 

 of which are of the Shape of a Scallop- 

 (hell 3 and thefe in vaft quantities, in feme 

 Places, efpecially at the Feet of the Rocks, 

 from whence they are crumbled and driven 

 down by Hie Winds : For in the very Mafs 

 of the Stones of Rocks there were / as I 

 remember, of the very fame forts of
