of John Cockburn, &c. 



This Place was very pleafant, and fur- 

 rounded with fine Trees ; they told us, it was a 

 two Days Journey from thence to the Entrance 

 of the Mountains, whither we wanted to go ; 

 towards which, in the Morning, we fet out, 

 and by the Way faw great Numbers of 

 large Monkeys hanging by their Tails on 

 Trees, with Flocks of Birds as big as our 

 Swans, the Cocks with Combs fhaped 

 like Coronets, and all over beautified with 

 Plumage of various Colours. About Sun- 

 fet, we came to a Thicket of fine tall Trees 

 bearing Fruit as big as an Apricock, and 

 yellow as Gold ; we found abundance of 

 it lying on the Ground* pickM by Br ids, 

 on which we ventured, and regaled ourfelves 

 very delightfully* This feeming a proper 

 Place to take up our Night's Lodging at, 

 we made our Fire accordingly, and reited 

 pretty well that Night ; in the Morning, the 

 Trees were covered over with thofe large 

 Birds, and little Creatures, no bigger than 

 a Man's Hand, with Faces perfectly like hu- 

 man Kind, which to us appeared very won- 

 derful, nor could we ever learn of what 

 Species they were.
