cave_n which_o he_o conjecture_n to_o be_v about_o three_o quarter_n of_o a_o mile_n distant_a from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o stony_a way_n at_o this_o cave_n they_o find_v several_a person_n who_o be_v come_v thither_o to_o get_v out_o ice_n to_o carry_v down_o into_o the_o island_n some_o of_o which_o be_v below_o in_o the_o cave_n dig_v ice_n which_o be_v very_o thick_a other_o remain_v above_o they_o find_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o cave_n about_o three_o yard_n high_a and_o two_o yard_n broad_a and_o be_v all_o of_o they_o desirous_a to_o descend_v into_o it_o by_o a_o rope_n fasten_v about_o their_o body_n under_o their_o armpit_n they_o be_v all_o one_o after_o another_o let_v down_o into_o it_o till_o they_o come_v to_o set_v their_o foot_n upon_o the_o ice_n which_o be_v about_o sixteen_o or_o eighteen_o foot_n from_o the_o mouth_n the_o cave_n be_v not_o very_o large_a but_o full_a of_o water_n and_o ice_n which_o at_o the_o time_n when_o they_o be_v there_o lay_v about_o a_o foot_n under_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o water_n though_o the_o man_n that_o usual_o go_v thither_o say_v that_o at_o other_o time_n they_o find_v the_o ice_n above_o the_o water_n which_o make_v many_o to_o suppose_v that_o it_o ebb_v and_o flow_v by_o mean_n of_o some_o secret_a intercourse_n that_o it_o may_v have_v with_o the_o sea_n they_o aver_v that_o they_o have_v see_v it_o empty_v of_o itself_o but_o this_o gentleman_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o come_v down_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o a_o stone_n that_o lie_v just_a above_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n and_o observe_v very_o diligent_o but_o can_v not_o in_o all_o the_o space_n that_o he_o stay_v there_o which_o be_v half_o a_o hour_n find_v it_o either_o increase_n or_o diminish_v which_o make_v he_o believe_v that_o the_o fullness_n or_o emptiness_n of_o the_o water_n may_v rather_o proceed_v from_o those_o thick_a fog_n and_o mist_n which_o be_v general_o on_o the_o top_n and_o which_o hinder_v the_o pike_n from_o be_v see_v sometime_o for_o twenty_o thirty_o nay_o forty_o day_n together_o except_o only_o just_a at_o the_o rise_n or_o set_v of_o the_o sun_n though_o at_o some_o other_o time_n it_o happen_v also_o that_o the_o air_n be_v clear_a and_o the_o pike_n may_v be_v see_v perhaps_o for_o a_o month_n together_o from_o these_o mist_n he_o conceive_v at_o some_o time_n much_o water_n may_v be_v collect_v at_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o pike_n and_o soak_a down_n may_v not_o only_o supply_v but_o increase_v the_o water_n in_o the_o cave_n and_o consonant_a to_o this_o hypothesis_n he_o observe_v whilst_o he_o be_v there_o that_o there_o be_v a_o continual_a gleet_a and_o drop_v of_o water_n in_o six_o or_o seven_o place_n from_o the_o side_n of_o the_o cave_n which_o dropping_n he_o suppose_v may_v be_v great_a or_o less_o according_a as_o those_o fog_n do_v more_o or_o less_o encompass_v it_o or_o stay_v about_o it_o a_o long_o or_o short_a time_n he_o judge_v also_o that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o other_o more_o secret_a way_n both_o for_o the_o convey_n water_n into_o and_o out_o of_o the_o say_a cave_n than_o those_o dropping_n but_o suppose_v they_o to_o proceed_v from_o the_o aforesaid_a fog_n hence_o he_o conclude_v when_o the_o air_n be_v clear_a and_o none_o of_o those_o fog_n condense_v about_o the_o hill_n the_o water_n in_o the_o cave_n must_v necessary_o decrease_v and_o that_o which_o confirm_v he_o the_o more_o in_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o very_a top_n of_o the_o pike_n he_o find_v the_o earth_n under_o he_o so_o very_o moist_a that_o it_o be_v like_o mud_n or_o mortar_n and_o may_v be_v make_v into_o paste_n as_o by_o experiment_n he_o find_v which_o he_o conjecture_n can_v no_o way_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o wind_n or_o clear_a air_n which_o be_v rather_o dry_v and_o consume_v of_o moisture_n but_o must_v proceed_v from_o the_o fog_n or_o mist_n which_o be_v above_o the_o very_a top_n of_o the_o pike_n he_o further_o take_v notice_n in_o the_o cave_n that_o upon_o the_o side_n and_o top_n thereof_o there_o grow_v a_o snow-white_a fur_n like_o saltpetre_n which_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o saltish_a taste_n some_o of_o which_o he_o gather_v and_o bring_v back_o with_o he_o to_o england_n to_o have_v it_o examine_v after_o about_o half_a a_o hour_n stay_v in_o the_o cave_n which_o they_o find_v warm_a than_o without_o in_o the_o open_a air_n they_o be_v all_o pull_v up_o again_o and_o proceed_v forward_o in_o their_o journey_n by_o continue_v to_o clamber_v up_o the_o stony_a way_n which_o last_v till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o foot_n of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o mountain_n which_o be_v call_v the_o sugar-loaf_n by_o reason_n that_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o the_o island_n it_o appear_v of_o that_o shape_n as_o it_o do_v also_o even_o when_o you_o be_v at_o it_o the_o distance_n of_o this_o place_n from_o the_o cave_n they_o judge_v to_o be_v about_o half_a a_o mile_n but_o the_o way_n much_o more_o steep_a and_o ascend_a than_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o stony_a way_n and_o extreme_a troublesome_a to_o pass_v their_o foot_n sink_v and_o slip_v down_o again_o almost_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v stride_v upward_o so_o that_o they_o conclude_v it_o the_o most_o painful_a of_o all_o however_o persist_v in_o their_o endeavour_n after_o many_o time_n rest_v themselves_o they_o gain_v the_o top_n which_o they_o conceive_v may_v be_v about_o half_a a_o mile_n high_o the_o very_a top_n they_o find_v not_o plain_a but_o very_o rocky_a and_o uneven_a and_o in_o the_o middle_n thereof_o a_o deep_a hole_n the_o outside_n of_o this_o top_n this_o gentleman_n conceive_v may_v be_v about_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o mile_n round_o about_o on_o the_o outside_n this_o hole_n he_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o vulcano_n which_o have_v former_o be_v in_o that_o place_n for_o even_o at_o that_o time_n

very_o offensive_a to_o their_o foot_n through_o their_o shoe_n and_o he_o observe_v brimstone_n throw_v up_o in_o several_a place_n of_o which_o he_o collect_v some_o and_o bring_v back_o with_o he_o to_o england_n from_o this_o place_n may_v be_v see_v in_o a_o clear_a day_n all_o the_o six_o adjacent_a island_n but_o the_o weather_n be_v then_o somewhat_o thick_a and_o hazy_a they_o can_v
