11 A Voyage to 



down from the Crags to the Sea \ They dug to make h 

 run the better, and gather enough Water to lade it up* 

 Thus we made our Provifion in two Days, tho' with 

 Trouble enough to get it aboard, becaufe the Sea is 

 very rough there. This perfectly frefli Water was none 

 of the beft ; but in feven or eight Days ftunk fo much, 

 that it was a great Punifliment to be obliged to drink it. 



Wood, Whilft fomcwater'd, others wooded, 200 Paces from 



the Watering-place. It was a fort of Tamarind, which 

 was eafy enough to fell, and near the Shore. 



We had put up Englijh Colours, with the Pendant 

 at the Main-maft, and had fir'd a Gun by way of Signal 



S A h ^ Friendfliip, to induce the Inhabitants of the Ifland of

 vifited by the Inhabitants of S. Anthony, who for their 

 Money brought them Beeve$, Goats, Figs, Bananas^ 

 Lemons, and very fweet Wine. They fay there may be

 and Conditions, in the Ifland $ and that, above the An- 

 choring-place, there is a little Fort, with four Pieces of 

 Cannon, in which there is a Portugueze Governor,

we got by Fifliing; whereof there is great Plenty in the 

 Bay of S.Vincent, tho' there is only one Creek lying be- 

 tween two little Points towards the E. S. E. where the 

 Sean can be us'd, becaufe in other Places the Shore is 

 rocky ; but Amends may be made with the Hook, for- 

 there is an infinite Number of Fifti, as Mullets, Rock-fillip 

 Manchorans, Pilchards, Grunters, white-tooth Long- 

 beaks, and a fort which have a Rat's Tail and round
