NORTH AMERICA* 
The fight of this delightful and productive 
ffiand, placed in front of the rifing city of Sun- 
bury, quickly induced me to explore it ; * which I 
apprehended, from former vifits to this coaft, 
would exhibit a comprehenfive epitome of the 
hiftory of all the fea-coaft Iflands of Carolina and 
Georgia, as likewife in general of the coaft of the 
main. And though I confidered this excurfion along 
the coaft of Georgia and northern border of Flo- 
rida, a deviation from the high road of my intended 
travels, yet I performed it in order to employ to 
the moft advantage the time on my hands, before 
the treaty of Augufta came on, where I was to at- 
tend, about May or June, by defire of the Super- 
intendant, J. Stewart, efq. who, when I was in 
Charlefton, propofed, in order to facilitate my tra- 
vels in the Indian territories, that, if I would be 
prefent at the Congrefs, he would introduce my 
bufinefs to the chiefs of the Cherokees, Creeks, and 
other nations, and recommend me to their friend- 
fhip and protection ; which promife he fully per- 
formed, 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 fat off on my 
fouthern excurfion, and left S unbury, in company 
with feveral of its polite inhabitants, who were go- 
ing to Medway meeting, a very large and well-con- 
ftruCted place of worfhip, in St. John's parifh, 
where I affociated with them in religious exercife, 
and heard a very excellent fermon, delivered by 
their pious and truly venerable paftor, the Rev. 
— Ofgood. This refpeCtable congregation is 
independent, and confift chiefly of families, and 
profdytes
