         EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
         EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
         The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
         Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
         Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
         Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
         The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
         Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

           us

           but
           their
           Oars
           came
           short
           of
           our
           Sails
           .
        
         
           The
           next
           morning
           about
           ten
           a
           clock
           ,
           my
           Pylot
           (
           which
           formerly
           had
           been
           a
           Spectacle-maker
           )
           descryed
           a
           Sail
           making
           towards
           us
           ;
           coming
           up
           ,
           we
           vilely
           suspected
           him
           by
           his
           flag
           to
           be
           the
           
             Water
             Cannibal
          
           of
           Troy-novant
           .
        
         
           Whereupon
           I
           called
           a
           Council
           aboard
           ,
           to
           consider
           what
           was
           to
           be
           done
           in
           this
           imminent
           extremity
           .
           Some
           advised
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           most
           fit
           to
           make
           to
           Land
           ,
           if
           any
           knew
           where
           to
           touch
           without-hazard
           :
           Others
           of
           more
           undaunted
           Spirits
           ,
           and
           higher
           resolution
           ,
           advised
           to
           run
           the
           risk
           of
           an
           engagement
           ,
           and
           to
           draw
           our
           number
           out
           of
           sight
           into
           the
           Hold
           ,
           the
           more
           to
           encourage
           the
           Enemy
           to
           a
           nearer
           approach
           ;
           which
           opinion
           was
           generally
           approved
           of
           ,
           and
           allowed
           .
        
         
           Presently
           I
           gave
           order
           for
           the
           Sublimation
           of
           every
           Spark
           
           aboard
           ,
           and
           for
           the
           exhilerating
           their
           Spirits
           ,
           that
           an
           extraordinary
           allowance
           be
           made
           instantly
           ;
           viz.
           That
           one
           ounce
           of
           Tobacco
           be
           divided
           between
           every
           two
           ;
           and
           as
           for
           liquors
           ,
           let
           every
           man
           that
           hath
           them
           drink
           what
           he
           please
           out
           of
           his
           own
           Guarde
           Vines
           .
        
         
           Looking
           about
           me
           ,
           not
           without
           some
           fear
           ,
           rais'd
           by
           the
           apprehensions
           of
           danger
           ,
           a
           Taylor
           (
           who
           had
           formerly
           been
           a
           Creature
           of
           mine
           )
           addrest
           himself
           to
           me
           ,
           whose
           Conscience
           being
           more
           tender
           than
           his
           Stomach
           ,
           would
           needs
           be
           resolved
           in
           two
           points
           concerning
           his
           Souls
           health
           ,
           before
           the
           fight
           should
           begin
           .
        
         
           The
           first
           was
           ,
           whether
           the
           Cause

           and
           Quarrel
           they
           were
           to
           undertake
           ,
           were
           justifiable
           or
           not
           ,
           since
           that
           he
           ever
           held
           Ludgate

           more
           worthy
           than
           Newgate
           ,
           in
           divers
           respects

           And
           the
           next
           was
           ,
           whether
           (
           in
           case
           he
           should
           miscarry
           in
           the
           action
           )
           
             Limbus

             Infantum

           My
           Chaplain
           over-hearing
           the
           Taylors
           conscientious
           propositions
           (
           although
           he
           was

           yet
           still
           a

           and
           straining
           to
           answer
           these
           Scruples
           ,
           he
           could
           not
           be
           heard
           for
           the
           insufferable
           noise
           of
           a
           Confectioner

           Sugar-baker

           who
           nothing
           but
           bawled
           up
           and
           down
           (
           to
           the
           great
           disheartning

             I
             see
          
           ;
           whereupon
           to
           still
           their
           clamouring
           .
           I
           was
           forced
           to
           command
           Bushel
           (
           the
           Meal-man
           )

           sow
           them
           up
           in
           two
           sacks

           and
           to
           let
           them
           breath
           no
           otherwise
           ,
           than
           through
           the
           holes
           the
           Rats
           had
           eaten

           so
           keep
           them
           Prisoners
           till
           the
           Fight
           was
           ended

           The
           Enemy
           approaching
           nearer

           nearer
           ,
           every
           one
           applied
           himself
           to
           his
           charge

           the
           Master-Gunner
           was
           ready

           I

           not
           mean
           for
           fear

           we
           perceived
           our
           supposed
           Assailant
           to
           be
           a
           friend

           coming
           from
           the
           Canaries

           and
           bound

           Fox-hall
           ;
           the
           men
           were
           all
           very
           jolly
           ,
           though
           some
           of

           a
           little
           Sea-sick

           they

           was
           in
           their
           Faces
           was
           sufficient
           
           to
           declare
           them
           what
           they
           were

           know

           and
           indeed
           it
           is
           doubtful

           for
           all

           not
           insensible

           this
           Canary-man
           ,
           we
           stood
           away
           still
           to
           the
           Eastward
           ,
           but
           night
           coming
           on
           ,
           and
           our
           Pilot
           careless
           ,
           it
           hapned
           that
           the
           Excuse
           was
           Stranded

           whereupon
           the
           whole
           Fleet
           was
           forced
           to
           wait
           upon
           her
           till
           the
           next
           Tide
           ,
           at
           the
           approach
           of
           which
           she
           got
           off
           ,
           with
           greater
           fear
           than
           damage
           .
        
         
           Having
           again
           doubled
           the
           former
           allowance

           encouraging
           our
           men

           we
           sailed
           onwards
           ,
           and
           in
           two
           Watches
           we
           discerned
           
             Firm
             land
          
           ,
           lying

           Savoyans
           Eastward

           Lambethana
           .
        
         
           I
           immediately
           man'd
           out
           my
           Long-boat
           and
           sent
           it
           ashore
           ,
           who
           in
           a
           little
           time
           return'd
           ,
           and
           inform'd
           me
           ,
           that
           they
           believed
           it
           a
           spacious
           Continent
           ,
           fit
           for
           Plantation
           at
           four
           degrees

           Hereupon
           I
           resolved
           to
           take
           most
           of
           my
           men
           with

           a
           further
           Discovery
           ;
           I
           soon
           found
           the
           nature
           of
           the
           climate
           ,
           it
           being
           very
           temperate
           ,
           &
           all
           accommodations
           most
           excellent
           ,
           as
           long
           as
           we
           had
           Silver
           to
           barter
           for
           their
           Commodities
           ,
           of
           which
           they
           had
           plenty
           of

           are
           (
           like
           them
           )
           very
           covetous
           ,
           being
           over
           greedy
           of
           Silver
           and
           Guinny
           Gold
           ,
           for
           which
           we
           might
           purchase
           any
           thing
           necessary

           pester
           too
           the
           Stage
           )
           I
           say
           if
           their
           fancy
           sore
           so
           high
           ,
           as
           to
           be
           guilty
           of
           a
           measur'd
           line
           ,
           they
           never
           go
           without
           it
           ,
           and
           in
           all
           Companies
           read
           it
           ,
           as
           if
           they
           were
           inspired
           or
           raptured
           ;
           then
           rail
           at
           the
           ignorance
           and
           foppery
           of
           some
           late
           ingenious
           drammatick
           Writers
           ;
           and
           although
           they
           can
           give
           no
           reason
           for
           their
           Censure
           ,
           yet
           they
           think
           it
           commendable
           enough
           they
           have
           done
           it
           ,
           and
           thereby
           have
           added
           much
           to
           their
           own
           reputation
           .
        
         
           I
           observed
           among
           these
           witty
           men
           ,
           that
           nothing
           must
           stop
           a
           Jest
           when
           it
           is
           coming
           ,
           nor
           friend
           nor
           danger
           ,
           but
           out
           it
           must
           ,
           though
           their
           bloods
           follow
           after
           .
           In
           short
           ,
           they
           think
           their
           life
           is
           but
           to
           laugh
           ,
           and
           I
           think
           to
           be
           
             laughed
             at

           being
           Wits
           in
           Jest
           ,
           and
           Fools

           Another
           sort
           there
           are
           ,
           whose
           whole
           delight
           consists
           in
           Whoring
           ,
           Drinking
           ,
           and
           Dancing
           :
           if
           any
           mischief
           escape
           these
           men
           ,
           it
           is
           not
           their
           fault
           ,
           for
           they
           laid
           as
           fair
           for
           it
           as
           they
           could
           .
           They
           think
           that
           day
           mis-spent
           ,
           in
           which
           they
           go
           sober
           to
           bed
           ;
           and
           if
           they
           have
           not
           made
           some
           new
           bawdy
           discovery
           that
           day
           ,
           they
           can
           give
           no
           account
           on
           't
           .
        
         
           There
           is
           nothing
           that
           they
           hate
           more
           than
           a
           serious
           ,
           or
           a
           melancholly
           thought
           ,
           and
           if
           at
           any
           time
           it
           seise
           them
           ,
           it
           sends
           them
           to
           be
           drunk
           again
           ,
           delighting
           in
           no
           other
           company

           Another
           sort
           of
           people
           I
           observed
           ,
           whose
           soul
           and
           its
           faculties
           consisted
           in
           rigging
           or
           dressing
           themselves
           to
           the
           best
           advantage
           ;
           and
           that
           they
           might
           not
           lose
           either
           the
           benefit
           of
           nature
           or
           their
           extraordinary
           labour
           ,
           they
           omit
           no
           opportunity
           to
           visit
           such
           publick
           or
           private
           places
           ,
           where
           a
           good
           shape
           and
           habit
           is
           best
           shown
           :
           the
           pointing
           of
           their
           discourse
           is
           new
           studied
           Oaths
           ,
           being
           as
           curious
           of
           them
           as
           their
           fashion
           :
           
           their
           talk
           is
           generally
           of
           Ladies
           ,
           and
           such
           like
           pretty
           Toys

           and
           do
           take
           a
           wonderful
           delight
           in
           repeating
           some
           passages
           in
           Plays
           ,
           which
           with
           a
           grace
           they
           utter
           ,
           even
           to
           self-admiration
           .
        
         
           I
           wonder
           these
           people
           are
           not
           deafned
           with
           the
           continual
           noise
           of
           Coaches
           ,
           the
           dead
           of
           night
           being
           not
           exempted
           from
           their
           confused
           rattling
           ;
           since
           I
           have
           read
           that
           the
           fall
           of
           Nile
           (
           called
           the
           Cataracts
           )
           deafens
           with
           its
           noise
           the
           people
           seven
           miles
           round
           :
           these
           Coaches
           are
           almost
           as
           numerous
           as
           the
           people
           .
           But
           they
           have
           another
           way
           of
           carriage
           called
           a
           Sedan
           ,
           which
           I
           should
           highly
           commend
           for
           its
           easiness
           ,
           were
           I
           as
           Gouty
           and
           Pocky
           as
           their

           Founders

           I
           will
           not
           detain

           Characters
           ,
           onely
           I
           will
           tell
           you
           how
           afrighted
           I
           was
           upon
           my
           first
           coming
           ashore
           ,
           meeting
           with
           a
           thing
           in
           glorious
           habit
           but
           with
           a
           face
           as
           black
           as
           Hell
           ;
           I
           took
           her
           to
           be
           some
           She-Devil
           had
           lost
           her
           infernal
           Sweet-heart
           ,
           and
           thought
           to
           have
           found
           him
           here
           in
           some
           
             carnal
             disguise
          
           ;
           had
           she
           cry'd
           bough
           as
           I
           came
           near
           her
           ,
           she
           had
           undoubtedly
           frightned
           my
           wits
           from
           making
           these
           discoveries
           ;
           but
           let
           us
           leave
           her
           with

           as
           black

           as
           her
           face
           is

           we
           have
           dwelt

           long
           upon

           it
           is
           time
           to
           give
           you
           a
           farther
           account
           of
           our
           Voyage

           From
           Cape-Verd
           we
           sailed
           ,
           keeping
           our
           Course
           due
           South
           ,
           and
           about
           four
           days
           after
           our
           departure
           ,
           we
           made
           Land
           ,
           but
           could
           not
           tell
           what
           part
           of
           the
           world
           it
           belonged
           unto
           ,
           at
           length
           we
           espied
           floating
           Timber
           ,
           with
           deal
           boards
           piled
           on
           the
           Bank-side
           ,
           which
           made
           some
           of
           us
           conclude
           it
           was
           Norway
           ;
           but
           that
           opinion
           was
           soon
           blown
           away
           by
           the
           sight
           of
           a
           monsirous
           tall
           bulky
           thing
           ,
           which
           seem'd
           to
           us
           to
           wave
           his
           hat
           about
           his
           head
           ,
           and
           that
           way
           induce
           us
           to
           come
           ashore
           ;
           whilst
           from
           his
           guts
           proceeded
           a
           confused
           hideous
           noise
           ,
           but
           from
           the
           found
           we
           could
           not
           understand
           a
           word
           ▪
           
           the
           more
           we
           stared
           hereon
           ,
           the
           more
           did
           our
           admiration
           encrease
           ;
           fear
           made
           us
           stand
           at
           a
           distance
           ,
           and
           yet
           we
           were
           so
           near
           that
           we
           could
           look
           into
           his
           very
           entrals
           ,
           his
           belly
           being
           wide
           open
           ,
           and
           could
           perceive
           a
           very
           strange
           motion
           within
           ,
           whilst
           his
           arms
           were
           continually
           agitated
           circularly
           ,
           we
           knew
           not
           what
           to
           think
           ,
           but
           at
           length
           it
           was
           agreed
           on
           all
           hands
           ,
           that
           this
           Country
           must
           be
           Denmark
           ,
           and
           that
           this
           monstrous
           creature
           was
           one
           of
           the
           Issue
           of
           the
           Giant
           Colbron
           ,
           who
           there
           stood
           with
           his
           arms
           abroad
           ,
           bidding
           defiance
           to
           all
           that
           past
           that
           way
           .
        
         
           Fear
           did
           so
           wing
           our
           flight
           ,
           and
           the
           wind
           so
           largely
           contributed
           its
           assistance
           ,
           that
           in
           a
           little
           time
           we
           found
           our selves
           not
           in
           a
           condition
           to
           be
           harm'd
           or
           prejudiced
           by
           that
           Giganttick
           Scare-crow
           :
           had
           we
           had
           as
           much
           valour
           as
           there
           was
           in
           Don-Quixot
           ,
           one
           assault
           would
           have
           prov'd
           him
           a
           meer

           ,
           and
           could
           do
           nothing
           but
           cry
           ,
           
             saw
             ,
             saw
          
           .
        
         
           We
           were
           no
           sooner
           freed
           from
           this
           sight
           ,
           but
           we
           encountred
           another
           ,
           which
           appeared
           no
           less
           terrible
           than
           the
           former
           at
           first
           sight
           ;
           but
           approaching
           somewhat
           nearer
           ,
           some
           of
           our
           men
           having
           seen
           it
           before
           ,
           knew
           it
           to
           be
           a
           floating
           Island
           ,
           called
           the
           Summer
           Island

           or
           
             Scoti
             Moria
          
           ;
           it
           is
           an
           Island
           not
           so
           great
           ,
           but
           that
           in
           less
           than
           four
           and
           twenty
           hours
           we
           sail'd
           it
           round
           ;
           it
           is
           much
           longer
           than
           it
           is
           broad

           how
           many
           leagues

           for
           I
           took
           not
           its

           In

             Summer-Island
          
           ,
           we
           took
           special
           notice
           of
           its
           ingresses

           with
           our
           strictest
           indagation
           we
           could
           find
           but
           two
           ,
           one
           lying

           other
           to
           the

           for
           the
           more
           convenient
           reception
           of
           the

           in
           the

           time
           constantly
           repair
           thither

           A
           Council
           was
           held
           to
           consult
           which
           Port
           was
           safest
           to
           land
           at
           ;
           the
           one
           we
           found
           guarded
           with
           
             Knights
             of
             the
             Blew-apron
          
           ,
           with
           Pet-guns
           mounted
           ,
           and
           charged
           ,
           and
           their
           noses
           like
           Linstocks
           were
           ready
           to
           fire
           them
           ;
           hereupon
           we
           stood
           off
           ,
           and
           made
           to
           the
           other
           Port
           ,
           whereupon
           we
           espied
           a
           white
           Apron
           ,
           as
           a
           
             Flag
             of
             Truce
          
           ,
           displaying
           it self
           over
           the
           belly
           of
           a
           delicate
           woman
           ,
           who
           came
           thither
           
             Procreandi
             causâ
          
           ;
           that
           colour
           we
           looked
           on
           as
           the
           Emblem
           of
           Peace
           ,
           and
           thereupon
           hoisting
           out
           my
           Long-boat
           ,
           I
           selected
           some
           of
           my
           principal
           men
           aboard
           ,
           and
           went
           ashore
           ,
           where
           I
           was
           received
           with
           all
           demonstrations
           of
           Civility
           and
           Respect
           .
        
         
           Their
           Language
           ,
           I
           and
           my
           Company
           understood
           very
           well
           ,
           for
           it
           was
           the
           
             Lingua
             Franck
          
           which
           they
           spoke
           .
        
         
           The
           greatest
           thing
           that
           I
           wondred
           at
           was
           ,
           that
           instead
           of
           treading
           on
           the
           surface
           of
           their
           Earth
           ,
           we
           immediately
           enter'd
           into
           the
           bowels
           of
           their
           Country
           ;
           it
           somwhat
           startled
           us
           to
           think
           where
           we
           were
           going
           ,
           and
           now
           I
           thought
           of
           Aeneas
           his
           descent
           to
           Hell
           ,
           and
           wisht
           we
           might
           escape
           but
           half
           as
           well
           .
        
         
           My
           Myrmidons
           followed
           me
           close
           at
           heels
           ,
           but
           Oh
           how
           we
           shook
           when
           we
           heard
           the
           Thunder
           from
           above
           ,
           and
           we
           had
           lightning
           too
           before

           I
           askt
           them
           the
           reason
           of
           this
           sudden
           thundring
           noise
           ,
           hearing
           not
           the
           least
           without

           Sir
           ,
           said
           one
           ,
           The
           Naides
           are
           above
           playing
           at
           Nine-pins
           ,
           and
           you
           may
           make
           one
           if
           you
           please
           :
           I
           in
           modesty
           refused
           ,
           as
           thinking
           my self
           unfit
           company
           for
           Gods
           and
           Goddesses
           .
        
         
           Looking
           about
           me
           I
           saw
           a
           lovely
           face
           ,
           and
           every
           thing
           (
           to
           outward
           view
           )
           thereunto
           corresponding
           ,
           I
           presently
           imagined
           her
           one
           of
           the
           
             Cyprian
             Dames
             waiting
             Gentlewoman
          
           ,
           who
           had
           given
           her
           Lady
           the
           slip
           ,
           to
           injoy
           her
           greater
           liberty
           and
           freedome
           ;
           upon
           which
           suggestion
           I
           accosted
           her
           ,
           and
           found
           her
           pliable
           beyond
           expectation
           ,
           and
           therefore
           gave
           her
           an
           invitation
           into
           my
           Tent.
           
        
         
           I
           askt
           her
           divers
           questions
           ,
           amongst
           the
           rest
           ,
           whether
           she
           
           were
           an
           Inhabitant
           of
           this
           Isle
           ?
           she
           answered
           no
           ,
           but
           a
           Westmonasterian
           ;
           the
           resolution
           of
           my
           question
           made
           me
           more
           inquisitive
           than
           before
           ,
           to
           know
           what
           this
           Monasteria
           was
           ,
           and
           where
           it
           lay
           :
           but
           according
           to
           the
           Custome
           of
           Lambethana
           ,
           I
           thought
           it
           civility
           first
           to
           drink
           ,
           before
           we
           entred
           further
           into
           Discourse
           ;
           whereupon
           I
           called
           one
           of
           the
           baser
           sort
           of
           people
           to
           me
           ,
           and
           bid
           him

           Liquors
           of
           their
           Country
           ,
           if
           they
           would
           take
           
             Moneta
             Carolina

           he
           did

           but

           called

           so
           we

           a

           under
           my
           command
           were
           of
           the
           same
           opinion
           ,
           and
           therefore
           we
           resolved
           to
           return
           ;
           and
           to
           favour
           our

           by
           East
           ;
           hereupon
           we
           shaped
           our
           course
           Norwards
           ,
           without
           discovering
           any
           thing
           remarkable
           for
           a
           great
           while
           ,
           only
           we
           met
           with
           by
           the
           way
           some
           Turks
           coming
           from
           Jetland
           ,
           and
           bound
           for
           Cole-Harbour
           .
        
         
           The
           nineteenth
           of
           June
           we
           met
           with
           several
           Men-Mermaids
           ,
           swiming
           and
           sporting
           up
           and
           down
           :
           We
           were
           informed
           that
           they
           are
           Amphibii
           ,
           and
           will
           live
           both
           on
           the
           land
           ,
           and
           in
           the
           Water
           .
        
         
           Here
           we
           only
           saw
           the
           Males
           of
           these
           Sea-wonders
           ,
           but
           up
           higher
           in
           the
           
             Straits
             mouth
          
           ,
           there
           are
           
             Female
             Mermaids
          
           ,
           which
           take
           their
           opportunities
           to
           delight
           themselves
           in
           swiming
           ,
           but
           are
           mighty
           shie
           ,
           and
           therefore
           choose
           the
           night
           for
           their
           pastime
           .
        
         
           Whilst
           I
           was
           in
           a
           serious
           contemplation
           of
           these
           Creatures
           ,
           one
           of
           our
           men
           cry'd
           out
           ,
           Land
           ,
           at
           which
           we
           were
           all
           over
           joy'd
           :
           and
           that
           we
           might
           be
           certainly
           assured
           hereof
           ,
           our
           Pilot
           (
           the
           aforesaid
           Spectacle-maker
           )
           drew
           out
           his
           Perspective
           ,
           with
           which
           he
           confirmed
           our
           joys
           .
        
         
           Hereupon
           we
           directed
           our
           course
           to
           this
           Land
           ,
           and
           in
           
           three
           Watches
           we
           came
           to
           an
           Anchor
           in
           
             White-Fryars
             Bay
          
           ,
           and
           soon
           after
           landed
           ,
           and
           were
           very
           civily
           received
           by
           the
           Inhabitants
           ,
           who
           attended
           us
           on
           the
           shore
           .
        
         
           We
           askt
           them
           the
           name
           of
           the
           Country
           ,
           who
           told
           us
           that
           formerly
           it
           had
           been
           called
           Lupania
           ,
           or
           by
           some
           Vulpinia
           ,
           but
           its
           later
           and
           truest
           appellation
           was
           
             Villa
             Franca
          
           ,

           The
           grumbling
           of
           our
           dissatisfied
           guts
           ,
           would
           not
           permit
           us
           to
           ask
           more
           questions
           ,
           and
           indeed
           if
           we
           had
           ,
           we
           should
           not
           have
           been
           heard
           for
           their
           croaking
           noise

           which
           the
           Inhabitants
           understanding
           without
           more
           ceremony
           conducted
           us
           to

           his
           Assistants
           ,
           we
           were
           very
           well
           entertain'd
           .
        
         
           The
