be_v very_a level_n with_o steep_a bank_n on_o both_o side_n the_o river_n and_o in_o some_o place_n very_o high_a the_o wood_n store_v with_o abundance_n of_o deer_n and_o turkey_n every_o where_o

the_o wood_n and_o see_v where_o they_o have_v tear_v a_o deer_n in_o piece_n also_o in_o the_o river_n we_o see_v great_a store_n of_o duck_n toil_n widgeon_n and_o in_o the_o wood_n great_a flock_n of_o parrakeeto_n the_o timber_n that_o the_o wood_n afford_v for_o the_o most_o part_n consist_v of_o oak_n of_o four_o or_o five_o sort_n all_o differ_v in_o leaf_n but_o all_o bear_a acorn_n very_o good_a we_o measure_v many_o of_o the_o oak_n in_o several_a place_n which_o we_o find_v to_o be_v in_o bigness_n some_o two_o some_o three_o and_o other_o almost_o four_o fathom_n in_o height_n before_o you_o come_v to_o bough_n or_o limb_n forty_o fifty_o sixty_o foot_n and_o some_o more_o and_o those_o oak_n very_o common_a in_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o both_o river_n also_o a_o very_a

some_o grape_n which_o we_o do_v eat_v of_o we_o find_v a_o very_a large_a and_o good_a tract_n of_o land_n on_o the_o n._n w._n side_n of_o the_o river_n thin_a of_o timber_n except_o here_o and_o

also_o one_o deer_n with_o very_o large_a horn_n and_o great_a in_o body_n therefore_o call_v it_o stag-park_n it_o be_v a_o very_a pleasant_a and_o delightful_a place_n we_o travel_v in_o it_o several_a mile_n but_o see_v no_o end_n thereof_o so_o we_o return_v to_o our_o boat_n and_o proceed_v down_o the_o river_n and_o come_v to_o another_o place_n some_o twenty_o five_o league_n from_o the_o river_n mouth_n on_o the_o same_o side_n where_o we_o find_v a_o place_n no_o less_o delightful_a than_o the_o former_a and_o as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v judge_v both_o tract_n come_v into_o one_o this_o low_a place_n we_o call_v rocky-point_n because_o we_o find_v many_o rock_n and_o stone_n of_o several_a bigness_n upon_o the_o land_n which_o be_v not_o common_a we_o send_v our_o boat_n down_o the_o river_n before_o we_o ourselves_o travel_v by_o land_n many_o mile_n be_v so_o much_o take_v with_o the_o pleasantness_n of_o the_o land_n that_o travel_v into_o the_o wood_n so_o far_o we_o can_v not_o recover_v our_o boat_n and_o company_n that_o night_n on_o sunday_n the_o morrow_n follow_v we_o get_v to_o our_o boat_n and_o on_o monday_n the_o 16_o of_o november_n we_o proceed_v

turkey_n thereabouts_o we_o view_v the_o land_n there_o and_o find_v some_o tract_n of_o good_a land_n and_o high_a face_v upon_o the_o river_n about_o one_o mile_n inward_a but_o backward_o some_o two_o mile_n all_o pine-land_n but_o good_a pasture-ground_n we_o return_v to_o our_o boat_n and_o proceed_v down_o some_o two_o or_o three_o league_n where_o we_o have_v former_o view_v and_o find_v it_o a_o tract_n of_o as_o good_a land_n as_o any_o we_o have_v see_v with_o as_o good_a timber_n on_o it_o the_o bank_n of_o the_o river_n be_v high_a therefore_o we_o call_v it_o high-land_n point_n have_v view_v that_o we_o proceed_v down_o the_o river_n go_v on_o shore_n in_o several_a place_n on_o both_o side_n it_o be_v general_o large_a marsh_n and_o many_o of_o they_o dry_a that_o they_o

provide_v wood_n and_o fit_v the_o ship_n for_o the_o sea_n in_o the_o interim_n we_o take_v some_o view_n of_o the_o land_n on_o both_o side_n of_o the_o river_n there_o find_v some_o good_a land_n but_o more_o bad_a and_o the_o best_a not_o comparable_a to_o that_o above_o friday_n the_o 20_o instant_n be_v foul_a weather_n yet_o in_o the_o afternoon_n we_o weigh_v and_o go_v down_o the_o river_n some_o two_o league_n and_o come_v to_o anchor_v against_o the_o mouth_n of_o hilton_n river_n and_o take_v some_o view_n of_o the_o land_n there_o on_o both_o side_n which_o appear_v to_o we_o much_o like_a unto_o that_o at_o green_n river_n monday_n 23._o we_o go_v with_o our_o longboat_n well_o victual_v and_o man_v up_o hilton_n river_n and_o when_o we_o come_v three_o league_n or_o

we_o proceed_v still_o up_o the_o river_n some_o four_o league_n and_o return_v take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o land_n on_o both_o side_n and_o now_o judge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v from_o our_o ship_n some_o eighteen_o league_n w._n and_o by_o w._n one_o league_n below_o this_o place_n come_v four_o indian_n in_o a_o canoa_n to_o we_o and_o sell_v we_o several_a basket_n of_o acorn_n which_o we_o

we_o search_v for_o the_o indian_a but_o can_v not_o find_v he_o at_o last_o we_o hear_v some_o sing_v further_o in_o the_o wood_n which_o we_o think_v have_v be_v as_o a_o challenge_n to_o we_o to_o
