of John Cockburn, &ci ny 



tains, and here was no Way to travel, but 

 along the Sea Coaft, unlefs you would go up 

 the River among the Ghieype Indians, which 

 was not our Intent; wherefore we kept along 

 the Sea-Beach, till we came within a Mile of 

 the River of Chlriqui, where thefe People, 

 whom I had now been travelling with twelve 

 Days, had faid, they muft leave me, on Ac- 

 count of the War, as mentioned before. 



They now warn'd me over and over 

 again, that when I came to the Town of 

 Chiriqui, I fhould tell no one, who had con- 

 duced me thither; and above all, gave me 

 flrid Charge not to fwim over the River of 

 Chiriquly which they faid was a League 

 broad, very deep and full of Alligators, 

 which would certainly devour me ; but ad- 

 vifed me to wa.it till I could meet with a 

 Canoe or Balfe ; after which, they bid me 

 farewel, and I returned them many Thanks 

 for the Care and Trouble they had had 

 with me, being very fenfible, that they 

 might have performed this Journey with 

 much more Eafe and Expedition, had they 

 not incumbred themfelves with me. Then 

 I fhoofc Hands with them all again and 



again,
