Divers Times They Did Wave Us On Shore To
Play With Them At The Football, And Some Of Our Company Went On
Shore To Play With Them, And Our Men Did Cast Them Down As Soon As
They Did Come To Strike The Ball.
And thus much of that which we
did see and do in that harbour where we arrived first.
The 23rd day we departed from the merchants where we had been first,
and our course from thence was south and by west, and the wind was
north-east, and we ran that day and night about five or six leagues
until we came to another harbour.
The 24th, about eleven of the clock in the forenoon, we entered into
the aforesaid new harbour, and as we came in we did see dogs running
upon the islands. When we were come in, there came to us four of
the people which were with us before in the other harbour; and where
we rowed we had sandy ground. We saw no wood growing, but found
small pieces of wood upon the islands, and some small pieces of
sweet wood among the same. We found great harts' horns, but could
see none of the stags where we went, but we found their footings.
As for the bones which we received of the savages, I cannot tell of
what beasts they be. The stones that we found in the country were
black, and some white; as I think, they be of no value; nevertheless
I have brought examples of them to you.
