of John Cookburn, &fc. ip 



We were, at this Time, in extream W ant 

 of Water ; lb that we were forced co 

 chew the Grafs for Moifture, and began to 

 grow very difconfolate, fearing we ftiould 

 never be able to get out of fb intricate a 

 Place. But coming to a very high Tree., it 

 came into my Head, that if I got up, I 

 might perhaps fee fome Houfe or Whig* 

 warn ; fo up I got to the very Top, but 

 no fuch Thing could I difcern ; however 

 (as Providence had order'd it) I efpied, at a 

 great Diftance, fome thing like a Man on 

 Horfeback, towards which we made all the 

 Hafte we could, and (to cur great Joy) 

 found it to be a Negroe on a Mule. We 

 prefently acquainted him with our Diflrcfs ; 

 and when he knew we were Emlifh* 

 men, he profeffed great Satisfaction in chat 

 he could be ferviceable to us, for he was 

 himfelf (he faid) born in yamalca y which 

 is a Thing thofe People reckon as much of, 

 as if they were Natives of England. Ac- 

 cordingly he took us with him to his Range, 

 and, in a friendly Manner, brought us Milk 

 and Plantains fufficient, with Cow-Hides to 

 fleep on that Night, all which were very ac- 

 aceptable to us,
