us at last the Captain ordered the Drum to be beaten which was done of a sudden with much vigor purposely to scare the poor Creatures They hearing the noise ran away as fast as they could drive and when they ran away in haste they would cry Gurry Gurry speaking deep in the Throat Those Inhabitants also that live on the Main would always run away from us yet we took several of them For as I have already observed they had such bad Eyes that they could not see us till we came close to them We did always give them victuals and let them go again but the Islanders after our first time of being among them did not stir for us When we had been here about a week we hal'd our Ship into a small sandy Cove at a Spring-tide as far as she would sloat and at low Water she was left dry and the sand dry without us near half a mile for the Sea riseth and falleth here about 5 fathom The Flood runs North by East and the Ebb South by West All the Neep-tides we lay wholly a ground for the Sea did not come near us by about a hundred yards We had therefore time enough to clean our Ships bottom which we did very well Most of our Men lay ashore in a Tent where our Sails were mending and our Strikers brought home Turtle and Manatee every day which was our constant food While we lay here I did endeavour to perswade our men to go to some English Factory but was threatened to be turned ashore and left here for it This made me desist and patiently wait for some more convenient place and opportunity to leave them than here Which I did hope I should accomplish in a short time because they did intend when they went from hence to bear down towards Cape Comorin In their way thither they design'd also to visit the Island Cocos which lyeth in Lat. 12 d. 12 m. North by our Drafts hoping there to find of that Fruit the Island having it name from thence CHAP. XVII Leaving New-Holland they pass by the Island Cocos and touch at another Woody Island near it A Land Animal like large Craw-fish Coco-Nuts floating in the Sea The Island Triste bearing Coco's yet over-flown every Spring-tide They anchor at a small Island near that of Nassaw Hog Island and others A Proe taken belonging to Achin Nicobar Island and the rest called by that Name Ambergrease good and bad The manners of the Inhabitants of these Islands They anchor at Nicobar Isle It s Situation Soil and pleasant Mixture of its Bays Trees c. The Melory tree and Fruit used for bread The Natives of Nicobar Island their Form Habit Language Habitations no form of Religion or Government Their Food and Canoas They clean the Ship The Author projects and gets leave to stay ashore here and with him two Englishmen more the Portuguese and 4 Malayans of Achin Their first Rencounters with the Natives Of the common Traditions concerning Cannibals or Man-Eaters Their Entertainment ashore They buy a Canoa to transport them over to Achin but overset her at first going cut Having recruited and improved her they set out again for the East side of the Island They have a War with the Islanders but Peace being re-established they lay in stores and make Preparations for their Voyage MArch the 12th 1688. we sailed from New Holland with the Wind at N. N. W. and fair weather We directed our course to the Northward intending as I said to touch at the Island Cocos but we met with the Winds at N. W. W. N. W. and N N. W. for several days which obliged us to keep a more Easterly course than was convenient to find that Island We had soon after our setting out very bad weather with much Thunder and Lightning Rain and high blustring Winds It was the 26th day of March before we were in the lat of the Island Cocos which is in 12 d. 12 m. and then by judgment we were 40 or 50 leagues to the East of it and the Wind was now at S. W. Therefore we did rather chuse to bear away towards some Islands on the West side of Sumatra than to beat against the Wind for the Island Cocos I was very glad of this being in hopes to make my escape from them to Sumatra or some other place We met nothing of remark in this Voyage beside the catching two great Sharks till the 28th day Then we fell in with a small woody Island in Lat. 10 d. 30 m. Its Longitude from New Holland from whence we came was by my account 12 d. 6 m. West It was deep water about the Island and therefore no anchoring but we sent 2 Canoas ashore one of them with the Carpenters to cut a Tree to make another Pump the other Canoa went to search for fresh water and found a fine small Brook near the S. W. point of the Island but there the Sea fell in on the ashore so high that they could not get it off At noon both our Canoas returned aboard and the Carpenters brought aboard a good Tree which they afterwards made a Pump with such a one as they made at Mindanao The other Canoa brought aboard as many Boobies and Men of War Birds as sufficed all the Ships Company when they were boiled They got also a sort of Land Animal somewhat resembling a large Craw-fish without its great Claws These creatures lived in holes in the dry sandy ground like Rabbits Sir Francis Drake in his Voyage round the world makes mention of such that he found at Ternate or some other of the Spice Islands or near them They were very good sweet Meat and so large that 2 of them were more than a Man could eat being almost as thick as ones Leg. Their Shells were of a dark brown but red when boiled This Island is of a good heighth with steep Cliffs against the S. and S. W. and a sandy Bay on the North side but very deep water steep to the shore The Mold is blackish the Soil fat producing large Trees of divers sorts About one a clock in the Afternoon we made sail from this Island with the wind at S. W. and we steered N. W. Afterwards the winds came about at N. W. and continued between the W. N. W. and the N. N. W. several days I observed that the winds blew for the most part out of the West or N. W. and then we had always rainy weather with Tornadoes and much Thunder and Lightning but when the wind came any way to the Southward it blew but faint and brought fair weather We met nothing of remark till the 7th day of April and then being in Lat. 7 d. S. we saw th●… Land of Sumatra at a great distance bearing North. The 8th day we saw the East end of the Island Sumatra very plainly we being then in Lat. 6 d. S. The 10th day being in Lat. 5 d. 11 m. and about 7

that they have of the Deity is very obscure Yet by the figures which they make representing this God they manifestly shew that they do believe him to excel in sight strength courage and wisdom justice c. For tho their Idols which are made in human shapes are very different in their forms yet they all represent somewhat extraordinary either in the countenance or in the make of the body or limbs Some are very corpulent and fat others are very lean some also have many eyes others as many hands and all grasping somewhat Their aspects are also different and in some measure representing what they are made to imitate or there is somewhat in their hands or lying by them to illustrate the meaning of the Figure Several passions are also represented in the countenance of the Image as love hated joy grief I was told of one Image that was placed sitting on his Hams with his Elbows resting on his Knees and his Chin resting on his 2 Thumbs for the supporting his Head which lookt drooping forwards his Eyes were mournfully lifted up towards Heaven and the figure was so lean and the countenance and whole composure was so sorrowful that it was enough to move the beholder with pity and compassion My Friend said he was much affected with the sight thereof There are other Images also that are in the shape of Beasts either Elephants or Horses for I have not seen them in any other shape The Pagodas or Idol Temples are not sumptuous and magnificent as in some of the Neighbouring Kingdoms They are generally built with Timber and are but small and low yet mostly covered with Pantile especially the City Pagodas But in the Country some of them are thatched I saw the Horse and Elephant Idols only in the Country and indeed I saw none of the Idols in the City Cachao but was told they were generally in humane shapes The Horse and Elephant Images I saw were both sorts about the bigness and height of a good Horse each standing in the midst of a little Temple just big enough to contain them with their heads towards the Door and sometimes one sometimes two together in a Temple which was always open There were up and down in the Country other buildings such as Pagodas or Temples Tombs or the like less than these and not above the heighth of a man but these were always shut so close that I could not see what was within them There are many Pagan Priests belonging to these Pagodas and 't is reported that they are by the Laws tyed up to strict rules of living as abstinence from Women and strong drink especially and enjoin'd a poor sort of Life Yet they don't seem to confine themselves much to these Rules but their subsistance being chiefly from Offerings and there being many of them they are usually very poor The offering to the Priest is commonly 2 or 3 handfuls of Rice a box of Betle or some such like present One thing the people resort to them for is fortune-telling at which they pretend to be very expert and will be much offended if any dispute their skill in that or the truth of their Religion Their Habitations are very little and mean close by the Pagodas where they constantly attend to offer the petitions of the poor people that frequently resort thither on some such errand For they have no set times of Devotion neither do they seem to esteem one day above another except their Annual Feasts The people bring to th Priest in writing what Petition they have to make and he reads it aloud before the Idol and afterwards burns it in an Incense-pot the supplicant all the while lying prostrate on the Ground I think the Mandarins and rich people seldom come to the Pagodas but have a Clerk of their own who reads the Petition in their own Courts or Yards and it should seem by this that the Mandarins have a better sense of the Deity than the common People for in these Yards there is no Idol before whom to perform the Ceremony but 't is done with Eyes lift up to Heaven When they make this Petition they order a great deal of good meat to be drest and calling all their Servants into the Court where the Ceremony is to be performed they place the food on a table where also 2 Incense-pots are placed and then the Mandarin presents a paper to the Clerk who reads it with an audible voice In the first place there is drawn up an ample account of all that God has blest him withal as Health Riches Honour Favour of his Prince c. and long Life if he be old and towards the conclusion there is a Petition to God for a continuance of all these blessings and a farther augmentation of them especially with long life and favour of his Prince which last they esteem as the greatest of all Blessings While this paper is reading the Master kneels down and bows his face down to the Earth and when the Clerk has done reading it he puts it to the burning Rushes that are in the Incense-pot where 't is consumed Then he flings in 3 or 4 little bundles of sacred paper which is very fine and gilded and when that also is burnt he bids his Servants eat the Meat This Relation I had from an English Gentlemen who understood the Language very well and was present at such a Ceremony This burning of paper seems a great Custom among the Eastern Idolaters and in my former Volume I observed the doing so by the Chinese in a sacrifice they had at Bencouli The Tonquinese Language is spoken very much through the throat but many words of it are pronounced through the teeth It has a great affinity to the Chinese Language especially the Fokien dialect as I have been inform'd and tho their words are differently pronounc'd yet they can understand each others writings the characters and words being so near the same The Court Language especially is very near the Chinese for the Courtiers being all Scholars they speak more elegantly and it differs very much from the vulgar corrupted language But for the Malayan Tongue which Monsieur Tavernier's Brother in his History of Tonquin says is the Court Language I could never hear by any person that it is spoken there tho I have made particular enquiry about it neither can I be of his opinion in that matter For the Tonquinese have no manner of Trade with any Malayans that I could observe or learn neither have any of their neighbours and for what other grounds the Tonquinese should receive that language I know not It is not probable that either Conquest Trade or Religion could bring it in nor do they travel towards Malacca but towards China and commonly 't is from one of these causes that men learn the language of another Nation The remarkable smoothness of that Language I confess might excite some people to learn it out of curiosity but the Tonquinese are

aboard for 20 or 30 leagues farther if the winds did not favour us for the Sea Winds were now at N. W. This day we kept near the shore and the night ensuing but the next day the Wind coming at N. and N. N. E. we stood over for Sumatra and the next evening we past by Diamond Point and the wind coming at E. N. E. we got in about two days more to Achin about the end of November 1689. Here we found Mr Coventry who had got hither 2 or 3 days before us Captain Minchin went ashore with his Passengers and was discharged of his Command I kept aboard till all the goods were unladen and then lay ashore and was very sick for a sortnight of a kind of Fever But after Christmas I was sent aboard again by order of Mr Coventry who had then bought out Mr Dalton's and Capt. Tiler's shares to take charge of the Vessel which he then laded with Pepper Cubebs which I think grow somewhere in Sumatra and Tutanegg which he bought of an English Vessel that came from Queda to Achin and with these he had also some of our Malacca Cargo which we kept on board viz. Rattans and Walking-canes With this Cargo we were bound for Fort St. George We took in also two English Passengers who had escap'd out of Prison in the Mogul's Country The one belong'd to the Defence Captain Heath's Ship which I came home to England in afterwards he was Purser of it the other was Midship man in the Princess Anne which return'd to England at the same time But during our War with the Mogul these Ships had been in the Bay of Bengal to fetch away our effects from the R. of Hugly These 2 men with 2 or 3 others went ashore upon some occasion and were taken Prisoners by the Mogul's Subjects who sent them a great way up into the Country where they were kept in close Custody and often threatned with Death The old Anabob or Governour of the Province being remov'd and a new one coming thither he released these men and gave them leave to go to the Sea side where finding a Dutch Ship bound to Batavia these 2 and one more went aboard her the rest getting other passage but she meeting with that English Ship coming from Queda which brought the Tutanegg I but now mention'd to Achin they left the Dutch Ship and went to Achin with the other English Vessel and those 2 were now for going with us to Fort St George 'T was about New-years day 1690. that we set out from Achin again We steered away toward the Nicobar Islands and came in sight of that which I had formerly been set ashore upon But leaving it on our Star-board we stood more Northerly up into the Bay for by Mr Coventry I had learnt there were Northerly and North Easterly Winds in the Bay at this time of year We stood over therefore as high as Pallacat and having then a fair North East Wind we run along the Coast till we came before Fort St George which was about the middle of January I was much pleased with the Beautiful prospect this place makes off at Sea For it stands in a plain Sandy spot of Ground close by the shore the Sea sometimes washing its Walls which are of Stone and high with Half Moons and Flankers and a great many Guns mounted on the Battlements so that what with the Walls and fine Buildings within the Fort the large Town of Maderas without it the Pyramids of the English Tombs Houses and Gardens adjacent and the variety of fine Trees scatter'd up and down it makes as agreeable a Landskip as I have any where seen But 't is not my design to enter into a Description of a place so well known to my Country-men as this is It may suffice to have mentioned it and that after some months stay here and meeting with Mr Moody and Jeoly the painted Prince I prepared to go for Sumatra again to Bencouli as I have said in my former Vol. p. 512. I set out from Fort St George with Captain Howel in July 1690. we steered a pretty way along the Coast of Coromandel before we stood over for Sumatra and then made the best of our way for Bencouli I have in that Volume spoken of my Arrival there but having given no account of the place I shall do it briefly now and so shut up this Supplement Bencouli lyes on the West Coast of the Island of Sumatra in about 4 d. S. Lat. It is a place noted enough at Sea by reason of a high slender Hill in the Country It has a small Island before it within which Ships ride The point of Sillabar lies 2 or 3 leagues to the Southward of it and runs out farther than any part of the shore making a small bay within it Besides these marks when you come within 2 or 3 Leagues of the shore you 'll see the English Fort fronting to the Sea which makes a fine show On the N. W. of the Fort is a small River at the mouth of which is a large Store-house to put Pepper in About a quarter of a mile from the Sea stands a small Indian Village close by the River on the same side that the Fort is on and but a small distance from it The Houses are small and low all built on posts after the Malayan manner as at Mindanao and Achin for 't is a Swamp that the Town stands on but the Malayans usually choose to build in such low places near Rivers for the convenience of washing themselves which they greatly delight in as 't is indeed a part of their Religion as Mahometans and if they can they will have their Houses stand on posts over the River The Weather here is none of the pleasantest There are great Rains chiefly in September October and November and pretty great heats But when the Wind blew hard which 't would often do the Air would be chill and the Sea-breezes in fair weather were generally pretty fresh and comfortable The Land Winds coming over Swamps usually brought a stink with them 'T is in general an unhealthy place and the Soldiers of the Fort were sickly and died very fast On the South side of the Fort is a fair champion Savannah of a mile or 2 Square called Greenhil It produces long thick Grass the N W. part of it fronts the Sea and the S. E. is bounded with lofty Woods The Soil of this Country is very different according to its different position for within Land 't is hilly yet those hills are cloathed with Trees which shews it to be fruitful enough The low Land near the River especially near the Sea is swampy producing nothing but Reeds or Bamboes but the higher ground which is of a reasonable heigth is very fruitful The mould is deep and is either black or yellow and in some places clay or such mould as is very proper for making Bricks The Trees in the Woods are mostly
