of John Cockburn, &c. 20; 

 not a Creature was there. I faw many Prints 

 of Mens Feet about the Range, and within 

 it I found a String of Tigers Teeth, which, 

 I fuppofe, the Indians who had lived here, 

 had forgot to take along with them when 

 they left the Place, for here were all the 

 Signs of its being forfaken : Thefe Teeth 

 I have brought home with my other little 

 Things. Here I ftaid, and made a Fire 

 to burn off the hard Coats of my Coco Nuts, 

 and found that to be the quickeft Way ; for 

 I had been employ 'd many Hours before, in 

 dalhing them againft iharp Stones to get their 

 Coats off} and befides, I found, that after 

 I ufed this Method, the Nut was much 

 wholefomer for the Body than before. I 

 flatter'd myfelf with Hopes, that, perhaps, 

 the Indians might return again to their 

 Range ; wherefore, I took up my Night's 

 Lodging in it, with that View. 



I n the Morning I took Notice of a Heap 

 of Sand, which had ferved me for a Pillow 

 while I flept. This I raked up, and found 

 underneath it twelve ripe Plantains ; but what 

 different Tranfports feized me at this unex- 

 pefted Sight! Inexpreffible Joy for that 



Providence
