in their warres are arrowes of reeds with heads of stone very brittle and indented but darts of a great length headed with iron or bone The same day that we receiued this dangerous affront in the afternoone we set sayle from thence and because we were now nigh the appointed height wherein our ships were to be looked for as also the extremity and crasie state of our hurt men aduising vs to vse expedition to finde sone conuenient place of repose which might afford them some rest and yeeld vs necessary supply of fresh victuals for their diet we bent our course as the wind would suffer vs directly to run in with the maine Nou. 30 Where falling with a bay called Philips Bay in 32. deg or thereabout Nouemb. 30. we came to anchor and foorthwith manned and sent our boate to discouer what likelihood the place would offer to affoord vs such things as we stood in need of Our boate doing her vttermost endeuour in a diligent search yet after long trauell could find no appearance of hope for reliefe either of fresh victuals or of fresh water huge heards of wild buffes they might disecrne but not so much as any signe of any inhabitant thereabout Yet in their returne to vs they descried within the bay an Indian with his Canow as he was a fishing him they brought aboard our generall canow and all as he was in it A comely personage and of a goodly stature his apparell was a white garment reaching scarcely to his knees his armes and legges were naked his haire vpon his head verie long without a beard as all the Indians for the most part are He seemed verie gentle of mild and humble nature being verie tractable to learne the vse of euery thing and most gratefull for such things as our Generall bestowed vpon him In him we might see a most liuely patterne of the harmelesse disposition of that people and how grieuous a thing it is that they should by any meanes be so abused as all those are whom the Spaniards haue any command or power ouer This man being courteously entertained and his paines of comming double required after we had shewed him partly by signes and partly by such things as we had what things we needed and would gladly receiue by his meanes vpon exchange of such things as he would desire wee sent him away with our boate and his owne canow which was made of reed straw to land him where he would Who being landed and willing our men to stay his returne was immediatly met with by two or three of his friends to whom imparting his newes and shewing what gifts he had receiued he gaue so great content that they willingly furthered his purpose so that after certaine houres of our mens abode there hee with diuers others among whom was their head or Captaine made their returne bringing with them their loadings of such things as they thought would do vs good as some hennes egges a fat hogge and such like All which that our men might be without all suspition of all euill to be meant or intended by them they sent in one of their canowes a reasonable distance from off the shoare to our boate the sea-gate being at that present very great and their Captaine hauing sent backe his horse would needs commit himselfe to the credit of our men though strangers and come with them to our Generall without any of his owne acquaintance or countriemen with him By his comming as we vnderstood that there was no meane or way to haue our necessities relieued in this place so he offered himselfe to be our pilote to a place and that a good harborough not farre backe to the Southward againe where by way of traffique we might haue at pleasure both water and those other things which we stood in need of This offer our generall very gladly receiued and so much the rather for that the place intended was neere about the place appointed for the randenoues of our fleete Omitting therefore our purpose of pursuing the buffes formerly spoken of of which we had otherwise determined if possible to haue killed some this good newes of better prouision and more easie to come by drew vs away and so the 5. day after our arriuall viz. Decem. 4 December 4. we departed hence and the next day Decemb. 5 December 5. by the willing conduct of our new Indian Pilote we came to anchor in the desired harbor This harbor the Spaniards call valperizo and the towne adioyning Saint Iames of Chinli it stands in 35. deg 40. min. where albeit we neither met with our ships not heard of them yet there was no good thing which the place afforded or which our necessities indeed for the present required but we had the same in great abundance amongst other things we found in the towne diuerse storehouses of the wines of Chilie and in the harbour a ship called the Captaine of Moriall or the grand Captaine of the South Admirall to the Ilands of Salomon loaden for the most part with the same kinde of liquors onely there was besides a certaine quantity of fine gold of Baldiuia and a great crosse of gold beset with Emeranlds on which was nailed a God of the same mettall wee spent some time in refreshing our selues and easing this ship of so heauy a burthen and on the 8. day of the same moneth hauing in the meane time sufficiently stored our selues with necessaries as wine bread bacon c. for along season we set saile returning backe towards the line carrying againe our Indian pilote with vs whom our generall bountifully rewarded and enriched with many good things which pleased him exceedingly and caused him by the way to be landed in the place where he desired Our necessities being thus to our content releeued our next care was the regaining if possible of the company of our ships so long seuered from vs neither would any thing haue satisfied bur generall or vs so well as the happy meeting or good newes of them this way therefore all other thoughts for the present set apart were all our studies and endeauours bent how to fit it so as that no opportunity of meeting them might be passed ouer To this end considering that we could not conueniently runne in with our ship in search of them to euery place where was likelihood of being a harbour and that our boate was too little and vnable to carry men enough to encounter the malice or treachery of the Spaniards if we should by any chance meete with any of them who are vsed to shew no mercy where they may ouermaster and therefore meaning not to hazard our selues to their cruell courtesie we determined as we coasted now towards the line to search diligently for some conuenient place where we might in peace and safety stay the trimming of our ship and the erecting of a pinnace in which wee might with better security then in our boate and without endangering of our ship by
