 Englijh Fa&ory, I humbly hoped he would 

 enable me to perform the reft of the Jour- 

 ney- He reply'd, that fince he knew my 

 Inclinations were fo much to go to the Eng- 

 lijb Factory ; fo far ftiould he be from detain- 

 ing me, that he would have me condufted 

 by the firft Opportunity to Panama, which 

 is one hundred and fifty Leagues from Chi- 

 riqui, and faid that in the mean time, I 

 fliould have the belt AiiUiance he could 

 give. This Gentleman was a 'Native of 

 New Spain, and one of thole People called 

 Mqjlies. His hofpitable and courteous De- 

 meanour toward me I have already figni- 

 fied, and I muft alfo not forget that of his 

 Wife, who was equally kind and obliging 

 to me. During my Stay at their Houfe, I 

 wore my Bark Habit, but it was much de- 

 cayed at this Time, and would hardly cover 

 me, tho' I had fpared it as much as poifible 

 when I was not feen. 



I t was a great Amufement to me to go 

 to the Town of Chiriqui, which I often did. 

 This Town is the handfomeft and moft com- 

 pact of any I had feen in the Country, the 

 Houfes being very large and high, built of 



Bamboe
