tree_n on_o the_o top_n of_o the_o bank_n call_v the_o place_n mount-skerry_a we_o look_v up_o the_o river_n as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v discern_v and_o see_v that_o it_o widen_v itself_o and_o come_v run_v direct_o down_o the_o country_n so_o we_o return_v and_o view_v the_o land_n on_o both_o side_n the_o river_n find_v the_o bank_n steep_a in_o some_o place_n but_o very_o high_a in_o other_o the_o bank_n side_n be_v general_o clay_n and_o as_o some_o of_o our_o company_n do_v affirm_v some_o marl_n the_o land_n and_o timber_n up_o this_o river_n be_v no_o way_n inferior_a to_o the_o best_a in_o the_o other_o which_o we_o call_v the_o main_a river_n so_o far_o as_o we_o discover_v this_o seem_v as_o fair_a if_o not_o fair_a than_o the_o former_a and_o we_o think_v run_v further_a into_o the_o country_n because_o there_o be_v a_o strong_a current_n come_v down_o and_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o drift-wood_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o business_n of_o the_o land_n and_o timber_n we_o see_v several_a plait_n of_o ground_n clear_v by_o the_o indian_n after_o their_o weak_a manner_n compass_v round_o with_o great_a timber-tree_n which_o they_o be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o fall_v and_o so_o keep_v the_o sun_n from_o their_o cornfield_n very_o much_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o see_v as_o large_a corn-stalk_n or_o big_a than_o we_o have_v see_v any_o where_o else_o so_o we_o proceed_v down_o the_o river_n till_o we_o find_v the_o canoa_n the_o indian_a be_v in_o who_o shot_n at_o we_o in_o the_o morning_n we_o go_v on_o shore_n and_o cut_v the_o same_o in_o

buy_v acorn_n and_o some_o corn_n of_o they_o and_o go_v downward_o two_o league_n more_o at_o last_o we_o espy_v a_o indian_a peep_v over_o a_o high_a bank_n we_o hold_v up_o a_o gun_n at_o he_o

and_o at_o last_o persuade_v we_o to_o go_v ashore_o with_o they_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o land_v several_a indian_n to_o the_o number_n of_o near_o forty_o lusty_a man_n come_v to_o we_o all_o in_o a_o
