The ^Dijlrejfes and Adventures 



Birth, and exalted Station in the World, for 

 it grows on the Tops of very tall Trees, I 

 believe, above two hundred Feet high, the 

 Bodies of which are ftrait> and fmooth as 

 Glafs. I underftood by thefe People, that I 

 had now three Days Journey to Nata y and 

 that I mould come every Night to a Houfe 

 where I might have Shelter, which I ac- 

 cordingly did ; and in the Day-time, when 

 I met with any Indians they never failed 

 to give me of fuch as they had, fo that 

 my Nakednels was now the greateft Grie- 

 vance to me ; for at this Time my Barfe 

 jacket would cover but a little Part of me. 

 The Indians every where among whom I 

 came, knew by this Jacket, that I muft have 

 been among the Indians at War y becaufe no 

 other People in this Country wear fuch 

 Cloathing ; and they were all furprized, that 

 the People they fo much dread to fall into 

 the Hands of, lhould difmifs me with fuch a 

 Gift. This Part of the Country is level, 

 very pleafant and fruitful, being well wa- 

 tered.
