To remove thrsdtftrnft, Capt. Havi kins very readily offered to leave Mr. Martin Cpckram, whom the Indians efleemed next to himielf, as an hollage, and this offer was readily accepted. This Brafilian chief he brought over, and prefented to king Henry, who received and en- tertained him very kindly, and after a year's ftay in England, generoufly difmlffcd him. But in his paflage home, the Indian chief unhappily died, which gave all on board great concern, from an appiehenfion that Mr. Cockram would be either, punifhed with death, or detained du- ring life. Their fear^ were however ill founded; for the Brafilians hearing what they had to aU Icdgt, readily concluded that it was f^n from being likely, they would dare to return to their country, if they had ill u^^d their king, and that it was out of their power to preferve his life, if he was attacked by ficknefs. They therefore freely fet Mr. Cockram at liberty, kindly entertained the men, and fnrniflied the (hip with a fufHcicnC cargo for England. *!^rhis encouraged other mer- chants :o trade to thafe parts of Biafil that were r.ot vet in the p^fleffion of the Poitugucfe.
