 troubled us exceedingly ; our Protector was 

 miffing, and without his Aid, it feemed im- 

 poffible for us to wade through the many- 

 Difficulties which we knew muft needs oc*- 

 cur to us. It feems, after he had been with 

 the Canoe, and taken our People off the 

 Ifland, he made the Men row him about in 

 Search of the VelTel from w r hence he had 

 been difcarded, and happening to meet with 

 her, he prevailed with the two Captains to 

 receive him again - 0 and then ordered the 

 Men to return to the Place where they left 

 me, defiring them to direct us to any Part 

 of the Country we fhould be minded to go 

 to j and this was the laft kind Office we re- 

 ceived from this generous Man. And here 

 I could not help reflecting on the wonder- 

 ful. Converfion which had been wrought on 

 the Heart of this Man, who, tho' but a 

 Moment before our mortal Enemy, and go- 

 ing to be our Executioner, was now follici- 

 tous and induftrioully officious to preferve 

 us ! however harfh or morofe he before 

 appeared to us, we now deemed him a Man 

 of lingular good Nature and Humanity.
