boiled and soused sometime in Vinegar is more grateful to the pallat About 8 of the clock at night a flame settled upon the main mast it was about the bigness of a great Candle and is called by our Seamen St. Elmes fire it comes before a storm and is commonly thought to be a Spirit if two appear they prognosticate safety These are known to the learned by the names of Castor and Pollux to the Italians by St. Nicholas and St. Hermes by the Spaniards called Corpos Santes The Ninth day about two of the clock in the afternoon we found the head of our main mast close to the cap twisted and shivered and we presently after found the fore-top-mast crackt a little above the cap So they wolled them both and about two of the clock in the morning 7 new long Boat oars brake away from our Star-board quarter with a horrid crack The Eleventh day they observed and made the Ship to be in latitude 48 degrees 46 minuts having a great Sea all night about 6 of the clock in the morning we spake with Mr. Rupe in a Ship of Dartmouth which came from Marcelloes and now is Silly N. E. by E. 34 leagues off about 9 of the clock at night we sounded and had 85 fathom water small brownish pepperie sand with a small piece of Hakes Tooth and now we are 45 leagues off the Lizard great Seas all night and now we see to the S. W. six tall Ships the wind being S. W. The Twelfth day being Whitsunday at prayer-time we found the Ships trine a foot by the stern and also the partie that was sick of the small pox now dyed whom we buried in the Sea tying a bullet as the manner is to his neck and another to his leggs turned him out at a Port-hole giving fire to a great Gun In the afternoon one Martin Jvy a stripling servant to Captain Thomas Cammock was whipt naked at the Cap-stern with a Cat with Nine tails for filching 9 great Lemmons out of the Chirurgeons Cabbin which he eat rinds and all in less than an hours time The Thirteenth day we took a Sharke a great one and hoisted him aboard with his two Companions for there is never a Sharke but hath a mate or two that is the Pilot fish or Pilgrim which lay upon his back close to a long finn the other fish some what bigger than the Pilot about two foot long called a Remora it hath no scales and sticks close for the Shâ—â—kes belly So the Whale hath the Sea-gudgeon a small fish for his mate marching before him and guiding him which I have seen likewise The Seamen divided the Sharke into quarters and made more quarter about it than the Purser when he makes five quarters of an Oxe and after they had cooked him he proved very rough Grain'd not worthy of wholesome preferment but in the afternoon we took store of Bonitoes or Spanish Dolphins a fish about the size of a large Mackarel beautified with admirable varietie of glittering colours in the water and was excellent food The Fourteenth day we spake with a Plimouth man about dinner time bound for New-found-land who having gone up west-ward sprang a leak and now bore back for Plimouth Now was Silly 50 leagues off and now many of the passengers fall sick of the small Pox and Calenture The Sixteenth Mr. Clarke who came out of the Downs with us and was bound for the Isle of Providence one of the summer Islands the Spaniards having taken it a little before though unknown to Clarke and to Captain Nathaniel Butler going Governour they now departed from us the Wind N. W. great Seas and stormie winds all night The Seventeenth day the wind at N. W. about 8 of the clock we saw 5 great Ships bound for the Channel which was to the Westward of us about two leagues off we thought them to be Flemmings here we expected to have met with Pirates but were happily deceived The One and twentieth day the wind S. by W. great Seas and Wind fu'd our courses and tryed from 5 of the clock afternoon till 4 in the morning the night being very stormie and dark we lost Mr. Gâ—odlad and his Ship who came out with us and bound for Boston in New-England The Eight and twentieth day all this while a very great grown Sea and mighty winds June the first day in the afternoon very thick foggie weather we sailed by an inchanted Island saw a great deal of filth and rubbish floating by the Ship heard Cawdimawdies Sea-gulls and Crowes Birds that alwayes frequent the shoar but could see nothing by reason of the mist towards Sun-set when we were past the Island it cleared up The Fourteenth day of June very foggie weather we sailed by an Island of Ice which lay on the Star-board side three leagues in length mountain high in form of land with Bayes and Capes like high clift land and a River pouring off it into the Sea We saw likewise two or three Foxes or Devils skipping upon it These Islands of Ice are congealed in the North and brought down in the spring-time with the Current to the banks on this side New-found-land and there stopt where they dissolve at last to water by that time we had sailed half way by it we met with a French Pickeroon Here it was as cold as in the middle of January in England and so continued till we were some leagues beyond it The Sixteenth day we sounded and found 35 fathom water upon the bank of New-found-land we cast our our hooks for Cod-fish thick foggie weather the Codd being taken on a Sanday morning the Sectaries aboard threw those their servants took into the Sea again although they wanted fresh victuals but the Sailers were not so nice amongst many that were taken we had some that were wasted Fish it is observable and very strange that fishes bodies do grow slender with age their Tails and Heads retaining their former bigness Fish of all Creatures have generally the biggest heads and the first part that begins to taint in a fish is the head The Nineteenth day Captain Thomas Cammock a near kinsman of the Earl of Warwicks now had another lad Thomas Jones that dyed of the small pox at eight of the clock at night The Twentieth day we saw a great number of Sea-bats or Owles called also flying fish they are about the bigness of a Whiting with sour tinsel wings with which they fly as long as they are wet when pursued by other fishes Here likewise we saw many Grandpisces or Herring-hogs hunting the scholes of Herrings in the afternoon we saw a great fish called the vehuella or Sword fish having a long strong and sharp finn like a Sword-blade on the top of his head with which he pierced our Ship and broke it off with striving to get loose one of our Sailers dived and brought it aboard The One and twentieth day we met with two Bristow men bound for

like a pursenet put upon a round hoop'd stick with a handle in fresh ponds where they come to spawn The Bass and Blew-fish they take in harbours and at the mouth of barr'd Rivers being in their Canows striking them with a fisgig a kind of dart or staff to the lower end whereof they fasten a sharp jagged bone since they make them of Iron with a string fastened to it as soon as the fish is struck they pull away the staff leaving the bony head in the fishes body and fasten the other end of the string to the Canow Thus they will hale after them to shore half a dozen or half a score great fishes this way they take Sturgeon and in dark evenings when they are upon the fishing ground near a Bar of Sand where the Sturgeon feeds upon small fishes like Eals that are called Lances sucking them out of the Sands where they lye hid with their hollow Trunks for other mouth they have none the Indian lights a piece of dry Birch-Bark which breaks out into a flame holds it over the side of his Canow the Sturgeon seeing this glaring light mounts to the Surface of the water where he is slain and taken with a fisgig Salmons and Lampres are catch'd at the falls of Rivers All the Rivers of note in the Countrey have two or three desperate falls distant one from another for some miles for it being rising ground from the Sea and mountainous within land the Rivers having their Originals from great lakes and hastning to the Sea in their passage meeting with Rocks that are not so easily worn away as the loose earthie mould beneath the Rock makes a fall of the water in some Rivers as high as a house you would think it strange to see yea admire if you saw the bold Barbarians in their light Canows rush down the swift and headlong stream with desperate speed but with excellent dexterity guiding his Canow that seldom or never it shoots under water or overturns if it do they can swim naturally striking their pawes under their throat like a dog and not spreading their Arms as we do they turn their Canow again and go into it in the water Their Merchandize are their beads which are their money of these there are two sorts blew Beads and white Beads the first is their Gold the last their Silver these they work out of certain shells so cunningly that neither Jew nor Devil can counterfeit they dril them and string them and make many curious works with them to adorn the persons of their Sagamours and principal men and young women as Belts Girdles Tablets Borders for their womens hair Bracelets Necklaces and links to hang in their ears Prince Phillip a little before I came for England coming to Boston had a Coat on and Buskins set thick with these Beads in pleasant wild works and a broad Belt of the same his Accountrements were valued at Twenty pounds The English Merchant giveth them ten shillings a fathom for their white and as much more or near upon for their blew Beads Delicate sweet dishes too they make of Birch-Bark sowed with threads drawn from Spruse or white Cedar-Roots and garnished on the out-side with flourish works and on the brims with glistering quills taken from the Porcupine and dyed some black others red the white are natural these they make of all sizes from a dram cup to a dish containing a pottle likewise Buckets to carry water or the like large Boxes too of the same materials dishes spoons and trayes wrought very smooth and neatly out of the knots of wood baskets bags and matts woven with Sparke bark of the Line-Tree and Rushes of several kinds dyed as before some black blew red yellow bags of Porcupine quills woven and dyed also Coats woven of Turkie-feathers for their Children Tobacco pipes of stone with Imagerie upon them Kettles of Birchen-bark which they used before they traded with the French for Copper Kettles by all which you may apparently see that necessity was at first the mother of all inventions The women are the workers of most of these and are now here and there one excellent needle woman and will milk a Cow neatly their richest trade are Furs of divers sorts Black Fox Beaver Otter Bear Sables Mattrices Fox Wild-Cat Rattoons Martins Musquash Moose-skins Ships they have none but do prettily imitate ours in their Birchen-pinnaces their Canows are made of Birch they shape them with flat Ribbs of white Cedar and cover them with large sheets of Birch-bark sowing them through with strong threds of Spruse-Roots or white Cedar and pitch them with a mixture of Turpentine and the hard rosen that is dryed with the Air on the outside of the Bark of Firr-Trees These will carry half a dozen or three or four men and a considerable fraight in these they swim to Sea twenty nay forty miles keeping from the shore a league or two sometimes to shorten their voyage when they are to double a Cape they will put to shore and two of them taking up the Canow carry it cross the Cape or neck of land to the other side and to Sea again they will indure an incredible great Sea mounting upon the working billowes like a piece of Corke but they require skilful hands to guide them in rough weather none but the Indians scarce dare to undertake it such like Vessels the Ancient Brittains used as Lucan relates Primum cana salix madefacto vimine parvam Texitur in puppim caesoque induta juvenco Vectoris patiens tumidum super emicat amnem Sic Venetus stagnante Pado fusoque Britanus Navigat oceano When Sicoris to his own banks restor'd Had left the field of twigs and willow boord They made small Boats cover'd with Bullocks bide In which they reacht the Rivers further side So sail the Veneti if Padus flow The Brittains sail on their calm ocean so So the Aegyptians sail with woven Boats Of paper rushes in their Nilus Floats Their Government is monarchical the Patrueius or they that descend from the eldest proceeding from his loyns is the Roytelet of the Tribe and if he have Daughters his Son dying without a Son the Government descends to his Daughters Son after the same manner their lands descend Cheetadaback was the chief Sachem or Roytelet of the Massachusets when the English first set down there Massasoit the great Sachem of the Plimouth Indians his dwelling was at a place called Sowans about four miles distant from New-Plimouth Sasasacus was the chief Sachem of the Pequets and Mientoniack of the Narragansets The chief Roytelet amongst the Mohawks now living is a Dutchmans Bastard and the Roytelet now of the Pocanakets that is the Plimouth-Indians is Prince Philip alias Metacon the Grandson of Massasoit Amongst the Eastern Indians Summersant formerly was a famous Sachem The now living Sachems of note are Sabaccaman Terrumkin and Robinhood Their Wars are with Neighbouring Tribes but the Mowhawks are enemies to all the
