[14] The poultry here mentioned in the text; must have been ptarmagans and
the flesh that of the reindeer. - Forst.
[15] The lime or mortar here described, appears to be the terra puzzuolana
or terras, a compound of lime and oxid of iron, which forms an
indestructible cement, even under water; and the remarkably light
stones ejected from the volcano, and used in the construction of their

the language of the editor; perhaps of Ramusio. It contains, however,
some palpable contradictions, since Nicolo Zeno could hardly be
supposed to mention the rest of the Zenos, descendants of his

Antonio ever being allowed to return at all. - E
SECTION II.
Sequel of the Narrative by Antonio Zeno.
Twenty-six years ago, four fishing boats, which had been overtaken by a
violent storm, were driven out to sea for a great many days; and on the
cessation of the tempest, they discovered an island called Estoitland,
which lay above a thousand miles to the westward of Frisland. One of the
boats, containing six men, was cast away upon this island; and the men,
being made prisoners by the inhabitants, were conducted to a fine and
populous city where the king resided, who sent for various interpreters,
but none could be found except one who spoke Latin.
