largest Apple-trees It hath a spreading head full of branches and dark leaves The Fruit grows on the boughs like Apples it is as big as a Penny Loaf when VVheat is at 5 Shillings the Bushel It is of a round shape and hath a thick tough ●…ind VVhen the Fruit is ripe it is yellow and soft and the taste is sweet and pleasant The Natives of this Island use it for Bread they gather it when full grown while it is green and hard then they bake it in an Oven which scorcheth the rind and makes it black but they scrape off the outside black crust and there remains a tender thin crust and the inside is soft tender and white like the crumb of a Penny Loaf There is neither seed nor stone in the inside but all is of a pure substance like Bread it must be eaten new for if it is kept above 24 hours it becomes dry and eats harsh and choaky but 't is very pleasant before it is too stale This Fruit lasts in season 8 months in the year during which time the Natives eat no other sort of food of Bread kind I did never see of this Fruit any where but here The Natives told us that there is plenty of this Fruit growing on the rest of the Ladrone Islands and I did never hear of any of it any where else They have here some Rice also but the Island being of a dry soil and therefore not very proper for it they do not sow very much Fish is scarce about this Island yet on the Shole that our Bark came over there was great plenty and the Natives commonly go thither to fish The natives of this Island are strong bodied large limb'd and well shap'd They are Copper-coloured like other Indians their hair is black and long their Eyes meanly proportioned they have pretty high Noses their Lips are pretty full and their Teeth indifferent white They are long visaged and stern of countenance yet we found them to be affable and courteous They are many of them troubled with a kind of a Leprosie This distemper is very common at Mindanao therefore I shall speak more of it in my next Chapter They of Guam are otherwise very healthy especially in the dry season but in the wet season which comes in in June and holds till October the air is more thick and unwholsome which occasions Fevers but the rains are not violent nor lasting For the Island lyes so far Westerly from the Philippine Islands or any other Land that the Westerly winds do seldom blow so far and when they do they do not last long but the Easterly Winds do consiantly blow here which are dry and healthy and this Island is found to be very healthful as we were informed while we lay by it The natives are very ingenious beyond any people in making Boats or Proes as they are called in the East Indies and therein they take great delight These are built sharp at both ends the bottom is of one piece made like the bottom of a little Canoa very neatly dug and left of a good substance This bottom part is instead of a Keel It is about 26 or 28 foot long the under part of this Keel is made round but inclining to a wedge and smooth and the upper part is almost flat having a very gentle hollow and is about a foot broad From hence both sides of the Boat are carried up to about 5 foot high with narrow plank not above 4 or 5 inches broad and each end of the Boat turns up round very prettily But what is very singular one side of the Boat is made perpendicular like a Wall while the other side is rounding made as other Vessels are with a pretty full belly Just in the middle it is about 4 or 5 foot broad aloft or more according to the length of the Boat The Mast stands exactly in the middle with a long Yard that peeksup and down like a Mizen-yard One end of it reacheth down to the end or head of the Boat where it is placed in a notch that is made there purposely to receive it and keep it fast The other end hangs over the stern To this yard the sail is fastened At the foot of the sail there is another small yard to keep the sail out square and to roll up the sail on when it blows hard for it serves instead of a reef to take up the sail to what degree they please according to the strength of the Wind. Along the belly-side of the Boat parallel with it at about 6 or 7 foot distance lies another small Boat or Canoa being a Log of very light Wood almost as long as the great Boat but not so wide being not above a foot and an half wide at the upper part and very sharp like a wedge at each end And there are two Bamboas of about 8 or 10 foot long and as big as ones Leg placed over the great Boats side one near each end of it and reaching about 6 or 7 foot from the side of the Boat by the help of which the little Boat is made firm and contiguous to the other These are generally called by the Dutch and by the English from them Outlagers The use of them is to keep the great Boat upright from over-setting because the Wind here being in a manner constantly East or if it were at West it would be the same thing and the Range of these Islands where their business lies to and fro being mostly North and South they turn the flat side of the Boat against the Wind upon which they sail and the belly-side consequently with its little Boat is upon the Lee and the Vessel having a Head at each end so as to sail with either of them foremost indifferently they need not tack or go about as all our Vessels do but each end of the Boat serves either for head or stern as they please When they ply to windward and are minded to go about he that steers bears away a little from the Wind by which means the stern comes to the Wind which is now become the head only by shifting the end of the yard This Boat is steered with a broad Paddle instead of a Rudder I have been the more particular in describing these Boats because I do believe they sail the best of any Boats in the world I did here for my own satisfaction try the swiftness of one of them sailing by our Log we had 12 knots on our reel and she run it all out before the half minute glass was half out which if it had been no more is after the rate of 12 mile an hour but I do believe she would have run 24 mile an hour It was very pleasant to see the little Boat running along so swift by the others side The Native Indians are not less dexterous in managing than in building these Boats By report they will go from hence to another of the Ladrone
work on Bashee Island which Island they gave that name to from their drinking this Liquor there that being the name which the Natives call'd this Liquor by and as they sold it to our men very cheap so they did not spare to drink it as freely And indeed from the plenty of this Liquor and their plentiful use of it our Men call'd all these Islands the Bashee Islands What Language these people do speak I know not for it had no affinity in sound to the Chinese which is spoke much through the teeth nor yet to the Malayan Language They called the Metal that their Ear-rings were made of Bullawan which is the Mindanao word for Gold therefore probably they may be related to the Philippine Indians for that is the general Name for Gold among all those Indians I could not learn from whence they have their Iron but it is most likely they go in their great Boats to the North end of Luconia and trade with the Indians of that Island for it Neither did I see any thing beside Iron and pieces of Buffaloes Hides which I could judge that they bought of Strangers Their Cloaths were of their own growth and manufacture These men had Wooden Lances and a few Lances headed with Iron which are all the Weapons that they have Their Armour is a piece of Buffaloe-hide shaped like our Carters Frocks being without Sleeves and sowed both sides together with holes for the Head and the Arms to come forth This Buff-Coat reaches down to their Knees It is close about their Shoulders but below it is 3 foot wide and as thick as a Board I could never perceive them to worship any thing neither had they any Idols neither did they seem to observe any one day more than other I could never perceive that one man was of greater power than another but they seemed to be all equal only every man ruling in his own House and the Children respecting and honouring their Parents Yet 't is probable that they have some Law or Custome by which they are governed for while we lay here we saw a young man buried alive in the Earth and 't was for Theft as far as we could understand from them There was a great deep hole dug and abundance of people came to the place to take their last farewel of him Among the rest there was one Woman who made great lamentation and took off the condemned persons Ear-rings We supposed her to be his Mother After he had taken his leave of her and some others he was put into the pit and covered over with Earth He did not struggle but yielded very quietly to his punishment and they cramm'd the Earth close upon him and stifled him They have but one Wife with whom they live and agree very well and their Children live very obediently under them The Boys go out a Fishing with their Fathers and the Girls live at home with their Mothers and when the Girls are grow●… pretty strong they send them to their Plantations to dig Yames and Potatoes of which they bring home on their heads every day enough to serve the whole family for they have no Rice nor Maiz. Their Plantations are in the Valleys at a good distance from their Houses where every man has a certain spot of Land which is properly his own This he manageth himself for his own use and provides enough that he may not be beholding to his neighbour Notwithstanding the seeming nastiness of their Dish of Goats Maw they are in their Persons a very neat cleanly people both Men and Women And they are withal the quietest and civilest people that I did ever meet with I could never perceive them to be angry with one another I have admired to see 20 or 30 Boats aboard our Ship at a time and yet no difference among them but all civil and quiet endeavouring to help each other on occasion No noise nor appearance of distaste and although sometimes cross accidents would happen which might have set other men together by the ears yet they were not moved by them Sometimes they will also drink freely and warm themselves with their drink yet neither then could I ever perceive them out of humour They are not only thus civil among themselves but very obliging and kind to strangers nor were their Children rude to us as is usual Indeed the Women when we came to their houses would modestly beg any Rags or small pieces of Cloath to swaddle their young ones in holding out their Children to us and begging is usual among all these wild Nations Yet neither did they beg so importunately as in other places nor did the Men ever beg any thing at all Neither except once at the first time that we came to an Anchor as I shall relate did they steal any thing but deal justly and with great sincerity with us and make us very welcome to their houses with Bashee drink If they had none of this Liquor themselves they would buy a Jar of Drink of their neighbours and sit down with us for we could see them go and give a piece or two of their Gold for some Jars of Bashee And indeed among Wild Indians as these seem to be I wonder'd to see buying and selling which is not so usual nor to converse so freely as to go aboard strangers Ships with so little caution Yet their own small Trading may have brought them to this At these Entertainments they and their Family Wife and Children drank out of small Callabashes and when by themselves they drink about from one to another but when any of us came among them then they would always drink to one of us They have no sort of Coin but they have small crumbs of the Metal before described which they bind up very safe in Plantain Leaves or the like This Metal they exchange for what they want giving a small quantity of it about 2 or 3 grains for a Jar of Drink that would hold 5 or 6 Gallons They have no Scales but give it by guess Thus much in general To proceed therefore with our affairs I have said before that we anchored here the 6th day of August While we were furling our Sails there came near 100 Boats of the Natives aboard with 3 or 4 Men in each so that our Deck was full of Men. We were at first afraid of them and therefore got up 20 or 30 small Arms on our Poop and kept 3 or 4 Men as Centinels with Guns in their hands ready to fire on them if they had offered to molest us But they were pretty quiet only they pickt up such old Iron that they found on our Deck and they also took out our Pump Bolts and Linch-Pins out of the Carriages of our Guns before we perceived them At last one of our Men perceived them very busy getting out one of our Linch Pins and took hold of the fellow who immediately bawl'd out and all the rest presently leaped
are a great many inhabited Islands lying near the Island Formosa between it and China in or near the lat of 23 deg N. lat almost as high as the Tropick of Cancer These Piscadore Islands are moderately high and appear much like our Dorsetshire and Wiltshire Downs in England They produce thick short Grass and a few Trees They are pretty well watered and they feed abundance of Goats and some great Cattle There are abundance of Mounts and old Fortifications on them but of no use now whatever they have been Between the 2 Eastermost Islands there is a very good Harbour which is never without Jonks riding in it and on the West side of the Easternmost Island there is a large Town and Fort commanding the Harbour The Houses are but low yet well built and the Town makes a fine prospect This is a Garrison of the Tartars wherein are also 3 or 400 Soldiers who live here 3 years and then they are removed to some other place On the Island on the West side of the Harbour close by the Sea there is a small Town of Chinese and most of the other Islands have some Chinese living on them more or less Having as I said before concluded to go to these Islands we steered away for them having the Wind at W. S. W. a small gale The 20th day of July we had first sight of them and steered in among them finding no place to anchor in till we came into the Harbour before-mentioned We blundered in knowing little of our way and we admired to see so many Jonks going and coming and some at an anchor and so great a Town as the Neighbouring Eastermost Town the Tartarian Garrison for we did not expect nor desire to have seen any people being in care to lye conceal'd in these Seas however seeing we were here we boldly run into the Harbour and presently sent ashore our Canoa to the Town Our people were met by an Officer at their landing and our Quarter-master who was the chiefest man in the Boat was conducted before the Governour and examined of what Nation we were and what was our business here He answered that we were English and were bound to Amoy or Anhay which is a City standing on a Navigable River in the Province of Fokien in China and is a place of vast Trade there being a huge multititude of Ships there and in general on all these Coasts as I have heard of several that have been there He said also that having received some damage by a storm we therefore put in here to refit before we would adventure to go farther and that we did intend to lye here till after the full Moon for fear of another storm The Governour told him that we might better refit our Ship at Amoy than here and that he heard that two English Vessels were arrived there already and that he should be very ready to assist us in any thing but we must not expect to Trade there but must go to the places allowed to entertain Merchant Strangers which were Amoy and Macao Macao is a Town of great Trade also lying in an Island at the very mouth of the River of Canton 'T is fortified and garrisoned by a large Portuguese Colony but yet under the Chinese Governour whose people inhabit one moyety of the Town and lay on the Portuguese what Tax they please for they dare not disoblige the Chinese for fear of losing their Trade However the Governour very kindly told our Quarter-master that whatsoever we wanted if that place could furnish us we should have it Yet that we must not come ashore on that Island but he would send aboard some of his men to know what we wanted and they should also bring it off to us That nevertheless we might go on shore on the other Islands to buy refreshments of the Chinese After the discourse was ended the Governour dismist him with a small jar of Flower and 3 or 4 large Cakes of very fine Bread and about a dozen Pine-apples and Water-melons all very good in their kind as a Present to the Captain The next day an eminent Officer came aboard with a great many Attendants He wore a black Silk Cap of a particular make with a plume of black and white Feathers standing up almost round his head behind and all his outside Cloaths were black Silk He had a loose black Coat which reached to his Knees and his Breeches were of the same and underneath his Coat he had two Garments more of other coloured Silk His Legs were covered with small black limber Boots All his Attendants were in a very handsom garb of black Silk all wearing those small black Boots and Caps These Caps were like the Crown of a Hat made of Palmeto-leaves like our Straw-hats but without ●…brims and coming down but to their Ears These had no Feathers but had an oblong Button on the top and from between the Button and the Cap there fell down all round their Head as low as the Cap reached a sort of course Hair like Horse-hair dyed as I suppose of a light red colour The Officer brought aboard as a present from the Governour a young Heifer the fattest and kindliest Beef that I did ever taste in any foreign Country 'T was small yet full grown 2 large Hogs 4 Goats 2 Baskets of fine Flower 20 great flat Cakes of fine well tasted Bread 2 great Jars of Arack made of Rice as I judged called by the Chinese Sam Shu and 55 Jars of Hog Shu as they call it and our Europeans from them This is a strong Liquor made of Wheat as I have been told It looks like Mum and tastes much like it and is very pleasant and hearty Our Seamen love it mightily and will lick their Lips with it for scarce a Ship goes to China but the men come home fat with soaking this Liquor and bring store of Jars of it home with them It is put into small white thick Jars that hold near a quart The double Jars hold about two quarts These Jars are small below and thence rise up with a pretty full belly closing in pretty short at top with a small thick mouth Over the mouth of the Jar they put a thin chip cut round just so as to cover the mouth over that a piece of paper and over that they put a great lump of clay almost as big as the Bottle or Jar it self with a hollow in it to admit the neck of the Bottle made round and about 4 inches long this is to preserve the Liquor If the Liquor take any vent it will be sowre presently so that when we buy any of it of the Ships from China returning to Maderas or Fort St. George where it is then sold or of the Chinese themselves of whom I have bought it at Achin and Bancouli in Sumatra if the clay be crackt or the Liquor mothery we make them take it again A quart Jar there is worth Sixpence
The Females with their young Ones are much troubled to leap after the Males for they have commonly two one she carries under one of her Arms the other sits on her Back and clasps her two fore Paws about her Neck These Monkies are the most sullen I ever met with for all the Art that we could use would never tame them It is a hard matter to shoot one of them so as to take it for if it gets hold with its Claws or Tail it will not fall as long as one breath of Life remains After I have shot at one and broke a Leg or an Arm I have pittied the poor Creature to see it look on and handle the wounded Limb and turn it about from side to side These Monkies are very rarely or as some say never on the Ground The Ant-Bear is a four-footed Beast as big as a pretty large Dog with rough black-brown Hair It has short Legs a long Nose and little Eyes a very little Mouth and a slender Tongue like an Earth-worm about 5 or 6 Inches long This Creature feeds on Ants therefore you always find them near an Ants Nest or Path. It takes its Food thus It lays its Nose down flat on the Ground close by the Path that the Ants travel in whereof here are many in this Country and then puts out its Tongue athwart the Path the Ants passing forwards and backwards continually when they come to the Tongue make a stop and in two or three Minutes time it will be covered all over with Ants which she perceiving draws in her Tongue and then eats them and after puts it out again to trapan more They smell very strong of Ants and taste much stronger for I have eaten of them I have met with these Creatures in several Places of America as well as here i. e. in the Sambaloes and in the South Seas on the Mexican Continent The Sloth is a four-footed hairy sad-coloured Animal somewhat less than the Ant-Bear not so rough its Head is round its Eyes small it has a short Nose and very sharp Teeth short Legs but extraordinary long sharp Claws This Creature feeds on Leaves whether indifferently of all sorts or only on some particular kinds I know not They are very mischievous to the Trees where they come and are so slow in motion that when they have eaten all the Leaves on one Tree before they can get down from that and climb another and settle themselves to their fresh Banquet which takes them up 5 or 6 days though the Trees stand near They are nothing but skin and bones altho' they came down plump and fat from the last Tree They never descend till they have stript every Limb and Bough and made them as bare as Winter It takes them up 8 or 9 Minutes to move one of their feet 3 Inches forward and they move all their four feet one after another at the same slow Rate neither will stripes make them mend their pace which I have tryed to do by whipping them but they seem insensible and can neither be frighted or provoked to move faster The Armadillo so called from its Suit of Armour is as big as a small sucking Pig the body of it pretty long This Creature is inclosed in a thick Shell which guards all its back and comes down on both sides and meets under the belly leaving room for the four Legs the Head is small with a Nose like a Pig a pretty long Neck and can put out its Head before its Body when it walks but on any danger she puts it in under the shell and drawing in her Feet she lies stock still like a Land-Turtle And though you toss her about yet she will not move her self The Shell is joynted in the middle of the back so that she can turn the fore-part of her body about which way she pleases The Feet are like those of a Land-Turtle and it has strong Claws wherewith it digs holes in the ground like a Cony The flesh is very sweet and tasts much like a Land-Turtle The Porcupin being a Creature well known I 'll pass it in silence The Beasts of Prey that are bred in this Country are Tigre-Cats and as is reported by our Men Lions The Tigre-Cat is about the bigness of a Bull-Dog with short Legs and a truss Body shaped much like a Mastiff but in all things else viz. its Head the colour of its Hair and the manner of its Preying much resembling the Tigre only somewhat less Here are great numbers of them They prey on young Calves or other Game whereof here is plenty And because they do not want Food they are the less to be feared But I have wisht them farther off when I have met them in the Woods because their Aspect appears so very stately and fierce I never did see any Lion in this Country but I have been informed by two or three persons that they did see Lions here But I am assured that they are not numerous Here are a great many poisonous Creatures in this Country more particularly Snakes of divers sorts some yellow some green and others of a dun Colour with black and yellowish spots The yellow Snake is commonly as big as the small of a Man's Leg and 6 or 7 seven foot long These are a lazy sort of Creatures for they lye still and prey on Lizards Guanoes or other small Animals that come in their way It is reported That sometimes they lurk in Trees and that they are so mighty in strength as to hold a Bullock fast by one of his Horns when they happen to come so near as that she can twist her self about the Limb of the Tree and the Horn at once These are accounted very good Meat by some and are eaten frequently I my self have tryed it for curiosity but cannot commend it I have heard some Bay-men report that they have seen some of this kind here as big as an ordinary Man's Wast but I never saw any such The green Snakes are no bigger about than a Man's Thumb yet 4 or 5 foot long The Backs are of a very lively green Colour but their Bellies inclining to yellow These are commonly in Bushes among the green Leaves and prey upon small Birds This I have often seen and was once in danger to be bit by one before I saw it For I was going to take hold of a Bird that fluttered and cryed out just by me yet did not fly away neither could I imagin the reason till reaching out my hand I perceived the head of a Snake close by it and looking more narrowly I saw the upper part of the Snake about two or three Inches from his head twisted about the poor Bird. What they feed on besides Birds I know not but they are said to be very venemous The dun coloured Snake is a little bigger than the green Snake but not above a foot and a half or two foot long these we should often see
day they begin to build it up again and so they every day till 't is of a decent and fashionable height It would be a most ridiculous thing for a Man here to be seen without a Tallow Cap. But Boys are not suffered to wear any till they come to Maturity and then they begin to build upon their Heads The Women have only short Petticoates which reach from the VVaste to the Knee VVhen it Rains they cover their Bodies with a simple Cows-hide thrown over their Shoulders like a Blanket The common Subsistence of these People is Bread made of Guinea Corn Beef Fish Milk Ducks Hens Eggs c. They also drink Milk often to quench their Thirst and this sometimes when it is sweet but commonly they let it be sower first Besides Milk which is the common Drink they make a better sort of the same Grain before mentioned purposely to be merry with And when they meet on such occasions the Men make themselves extraordinary fine with Feathers stuck into their Caps very thick They make use of the long Feathers of Cocks Tails and none else Besides these Head Ornaments they wear a piece of Cow-hide made like a Tail and 't is fastned behind them as a Tail reaching from their VVaste to the Ground This piece of Hide is about 6 Inches broad and each side of it is adorned with little Iron Rings of their own making VVhen they are thus attired their Heads a little intoxicated and the Musick playing they 'l skip about merrily and shake their Tails to some purpose but are very innocent in their Mirth Every Man may have as many VVives as he can purchase and maintain And without buying here are none to be had neither is there any other Commodity to be bought or sold but VVomen Young Virgins are disposed of by their Fathers Brothers or nearest Male Relations The price is according to the Beauty of the Damsel They have no Money in this Country but give Cows in exchange for VVives And therefore he is the richest Man that has most Daughters or Sisters for to be sure he will get Cattle enough They make merry when they take their VVives but the Bride cries all her VVedding-day They live together in small Villages and the oldest Man governs the rest for all that live together in one Village are a kin and therefore willingly submit to his Government They are very just and extraordinary civil to Strangers This was remarkably experienced by two English Seamen that lived among them 5 Years their Ship was cast away on the Coast and the rest of their Consorts marched to the River of Delagoa but they stayed here till Captain Rogers accidentally came hither and took them away with him They had gained the Language of the Country And the Natives freely gave them VVives and Cows too They were beloved by all the People and so much reverenced that their VVords were taken as Laws And when they came away many of the Boys cryed because they would not take them with them FINIS A General INDEX To both Volumes of DAMPIER'S VOYAGES Note that in this Index the several Parts of the Work are thus distinguish'd O. refers to Voyage round the World or Vol. I.
