AN ACCOUNT OF 
118 
1783. them, where they continued dancing mold part of the night, 
SEPTEMBER, 
but when it grew dark the Englijh retired to their own ha¬ 
bitation. 
The night proved very wet and windy; our people the 
Tuefday 2. next morning breakfafted with the King, and after break- 
faft Captain Wilson acquainted him, that as foon as the 
weather would permit he intended to return to Oroolong ; 
to which he was pleafed to agree. The wind being unfavour¬ 
able, Mr. Sharp t<j)ok the Captain to fee the Rupack, whofe 
child he had vilited the preceding day. They palfed many 
fine plantations of cocoa-nuts, yams, and beetle-nuts; and 
alfo obferved a tree with a large fruit on it, which the na¬ 
tives call R?a*mall, but the linguift who was with them faid 
it was called by the Malays, Par?gey ; our people thought it 
the bread-fruit.— Arra Zook received them with great joy, 
brought them water to wafh their feet before they went 
into the houfe, gave them mats to fit down on, made them 
frefh fweetmeats, and fet before them a kind of fherbet. 
Our people’s complexion as much excited the furprize and 
admiration of this Rupacl? s neighbours and houfehold, as it 
had before done their firft vilitors at Oroolong. 
After experiencing once more this good man’s hofpita- 
lity, they returned to Pelew, where the warriors had re¬ 
newed their dances. In the afternoon Captain Wilson and 
his friends took another ramble into the country, but in a 
contrary direction to the courfe they had purfued in the 
morning*
