NORTH AMERICA, 9 
The fight of this delightful and productive ifland, 
placed in front of the rifing city of Sunbury, 
quickly induced me to explore it ; which 1 1 appre- 
hended, from former viflts to this coaft, would ex- 
hibit a comprehenfive epitome of the hiftory of all 
the fea-coaft iilands of Carolina and Georgia, as 
•likewife in general of the coaft of the main. And 
though I confidered this excurfion along the coafl 
of Georgia and northern border of Florida, a de- 
viation from the high road of my intended travels, 
yet I performed it in order to employ to the moll 
advantage the time on my hands, before the treaty 
of Augufta came on, where I was to attend, about 
May or June, by defire of the Superintendant, J. 
Stewart, efq. who, when I was in Charlefton, pro- 
pofed, in order to facilitate my travels in the Indian 
territories, that, if 1 would be prefent at the Con- 
grefs, he would introduce my bufinefs to the chiefs 
of the Cherokees, Creeks, and other nations, and 
recommend me to their friend (hip and protection ; 
which promife he fully performed, and it proved of 
great fervice to me. 
Obedient to the admonitions of my attendant 
fpirit, curiofity, as well as to gratify the expecta- 
tions of my worthy patron, I again fet oft on my 
fouthern excurfion, and left Sun bury, in company 
with feveral of its polite inhabitants, who were going 
to Medway meeting, a very large and well con- 
ftructed place of worfliip, in St. John's parifh, 
where I aiTociated with them in religious exercife, 
and heard a very excellent fermon, delivered by 
their pious and truly venerable paftor, the Rev. 
. - Ofgood. This refpeclable congregation is 
independent, and confift chiefly of families, and 
profelytes
