glad seeing I understood the manner of Pounding after their way And though she was Stark-Naked she cared not for my being over against Innocent nakedn●ss of the●● People her After that she gathered us some Potato's and besides those gave us other Things to Eat and all with an admirable Grace and Civility I believe these Caripous are of all the Indians the most sweet and mild in Behaviour They are very curious of Honour Ambitious to do Kindness to those who visit them The Women Girls and Children came very freely on board our Ship without any shew of shame for their Nakedness but were continually drawing their Legs close like Half-Moons There was a little Indian brought me some Balls of Tobacco with a little Case made of the Bark of a Tree as wide as a Pocket and as round as a Ring It 's that which the Men make use of to bind up their Privy-Parts they can easily change them or take them away when they please I took two or three of them for curiosity seeing 'em so ingeniously made All the Indians round about having heard the discharge of Cannon came presently from every quarter that was nigh to exchange their Goods with our Knives Hatchets and other small Ware When the Cannon had fired the noise of it continued near a quarter of an hour in these rough Woods so that all the Country Mountains and Vallies were filled with the Eccho's which answered one another with a wonderful noise which might be heard as I believe above 25 Leagues from thence As for the rest these Caripous People are great Enemies to the Caribes who make mortal War one Caribes upon the other * The Caribes eat the Caripous but the aripous do not eat them This little Grandson of the King of Yapaco's shewed me by signs how the Caribes had great Teeth and Biting his Arm made me to understand that they Eat them when they happen to take them in War The Hatred betwixt them is so great that it is impossible ever to reconcile them nevertheless I have heard say since by a Mariner of Haure de Grace that they had made some sort of a Reconciliation betwixt ' em Being then amongst these Savages I saw one day amongst others the Captain of the Cannoes whom we found at the first He made me great Demonstrations of Friendship by his Gestures saying that he would bring me from his Country far from thence several choice Things and amongst others some little pretty Parrots speaking Parrot● their Language Yet I waited not so much in expectation of his Promises as to neglect to provide my self elsewhere My first thing was a little Parrot as big as a Sparrow with a long Tail and very Tame which would with a wonderful Pleasure pick the Hair of the Beard so that it could scarce be felt I gave a little Knife in exchange for it This Captaih who had promised me so many Rarities came to offer me amongst other Things a Truss of Serpents Serpents good to ●at which were as Fat as a great Conger and the Skin so speckled with yellow grey blue and other colours that I had no great mind to try how they relish'd though some living on them make great Feasts together They are prepared in Leaves and roasted I also took notice that these Caripous live better than these Caribes for they know how to make Cakes with Mace which are very good and have other things to Eat agreeable enough to the Country where they live These People Eat also another sort of Serpents like Adders of a strange greatness and length This Country of Yapoco is above 120 Leagues from the Country of Toupinambous which is towards the River Maragnon or Brasil And those of Yapoco are of the same colour and swarthy Complexion with the others but they are far finer more lively and pleasant Speaking of this Captain I will relate in this place a strange and remarkable thing of these People that the Nephew of Anacajoury told me to whom the Soveraign Command of this Country belongeth and because of his Youth his Uncle governed until such time as he should be of Age to Rule He told me That they did Eat neither Flesh nor Fish until Strange Ceremonies to make Captains they had killed some of their Enemies and when they had killed any one of them in War they observed this Ceremony which should not be otherways agreeable to our French Captains They make a Link of Palm in which they put him whom they design for Captain who before he may Eat either Flesh or Fish must undergo therein the Exercise of their Weapons Then causing all the greatest Captains of the Country to come who with the King of the place make one after another a Harrangue or Speech to this new one telling him that he must be couragious hardy and nimble in Battel and never give Ground but upon great occasion and with Judgment undergo all the hardships of War be they never so great and love the Virtue Honour and Reputation of a good and just Coptain VVhen they have finished this Discourse they take a great Switch in Hand wherewith every one gives him three great Blows with all their force so that the Body is all over Black and Bloody upon which Blisters may be seen to rise as big as ones Finger and so one after another make him the same Discourse repeating so many Blows with the Switch which lasts a full Month 3 or 4 times a Week In the mean time this poor Patient in all that time Eats nothing but Casaves and Potates until he has had all his Ornaments of Virtue And then they make a great Fire putting thereon Green Leaves to make it Smoak and also to hinder the force of the Flame Then they have an Amica or Hanging Bed after their manner in which they put this new Captain crowning him with Leaves and there he must endure all the Heat and Smoak untill hr Swoon's away and seeing he scarce Breaths they let the Bed down and taking plenty of fresh Water they cast it upon him untill he comes again to himself as from Death to Life All this being done he is Honoured as a great Captain and then they go a Cruising along the Coasts to meet their Enemies After being upon their return to their Habitations they make still Remonstrances to this new Captain and give him each one three Blows and from thence forth he may Eat Flesh Sometime after that they take another turn in the Sea with their Cannoes and if they find any of their Enemies they fail not to return to perfect this Captain to whom they give three Blows more and then he may Eat Fish and so he is created and admitted into the Office to bear Command over the others But that is not done but to those who have well behaved themselves in Battle knocking down many Enemies I leave it to you if our Men of War who come to

This Gentleman who was rich being in the Indies fell in Love with the Daughter of one Garsias Sola Captain of Bombain a Fortress of the Portugals esteemed one of the most Beautiful Ladies of the East and had many great Suters to Marry her But he not being able to bring his Designs to pass because of her Father who would by no means give his Consent tho' the Daughter was very willing he resolved to rid himself of the Father and for this cause parted one day from Goa with some of his Sworn Companions with whom he Embark'd and coming late in the evening to Bombain they watched their opportunity so that they found this Captain walking along by the Sea and there killed him This was so secretly done that Sosa had no great trouble to attain to his Desires Marrying this fair Orphan named Leonor whom he brought to Goa where having for some time lived in pleasure with her and having two Children by her he had a desire to go with his Family to Portugal to obtain from the King some Preferment greater than that which he had in the Indies And for this cause having bought a good Ship and being Embarked at Cochim with his Wife and Children a great many Slaves and others of his Train he sailed away But coming towards the Cape of Currants and their Vessel running a-ground they were forced to save themselves in the Boat They thought to have arrived at the Little Cafala where the Portugals have a Fort for the great one is towards Mosambique but they found themselves in a Country betwixt the Cape of Currants and that of Good-Hope where they were troubled with the Blacks of the Country along the Sea-side These Blacks not fearing the Harquebusses killed a great number of them the rest amongst whom were Sosa his Wife and Children saved themselves by recovering the Country and came at last into the Power of a King of these Blacks who treated them very kindly But when they departed from thence as they Travelled towards Mosambique they fell into the Hands of the Enemies of this King who did them all the Injuries imaginable in killing the most part and striping the rest Stark-Naked It was no small Grief to Sosa to see himself his Wife and Children in this miserable Estate wandering about the Desarts and Burning Sands of Ethiopia without having wherewithall to Eat Then began the just Judgment of God to fall on Sosa for the Murder of his Father-in-Law He went up and down about the Woods seeking for Raisins to nourish himself his Wife and Children But the greatest motive of Compassion was this poor innocent Lady who seeing her self Naked covered her self with Sand that she might not be seen in this Condition and made the greatest Lamentations imaginable oftentimes telling her Husband that their great Sins were the cause of so many Evils But having continued some days in this Misery after suffering the Death of her Children overwhelmed with Grief Hunger and all sorts of Incommodities was found dying by the wretched Sosa returning from his Quest yet he received her last Sighs with Complaints and Lamentations of his loss and knowing himself to be the cause of all these Misfortunes went away like a Mad Man about the Woods and was never after heard of All the rest of his Company died after the same manner except one Portugal who with great difficulty escaped and arrived at Mosambique where he related this sad Story of which the Portugals have made a Romance They who have Writ of the East-Indies have made ample mention of this Tragical Accident of Sosa and his Wife but they have omitted the Murder of his Father-in-Law which was the occasion of drawing the Judgment of God upon him But before we leave these Blacks it will not be improper to speak something of their Language because it 's Language of the Blacks different from all the other People of Africa That of Mosambique is called Ethiopians and can number no farther than Ten and begin thus Monti 1 Piri 2 Taton 3 Quinna 4 Chanon 5 Tandaton 6 Fongate 7 Nana 8 Quinda 9 Cohomy 10 They call the Head Mesora the Ear Maro the Nose Buonom the Mouth Muromoiu the Face Cohope the Arms Menio the Feet Mirengi the Hair Cici the Teeth Mannon and so of other Things But to return to the 4 Ships which remained from the Shipwrack viz. Our Lady of Mount Carmel St. Jerome St. Anthony and St Bartholomew with which we parted from Mosambique Departure from Mosambique from Goa and set sail for Goa the 20th of March 1609. And having then put out to the Main Sea the 23th of March we saw the Isle of Comba This Isle is very high and is to be Combo Isle seen above 25 Leagues distance After that we passed the Line towards the Indies the 5th of April and the 12th being at 4 Degrees on the other side the Line we found an Arabian Ship Arabian Ship which came from Dia and was going to Mecca Our Vice-Admiral made towards her saluting her with 2 or 3 shot of Cannon to make her strike sail the which they would not do until they saw the Bullets fly then they lower'd their Sails and came to us The Captain came with 6 or 7 Arabians of good Fashion carrying with him a Pass-port from the then Vice-roy of the Indies The Captain seeing this Passport durst not do them any harm but having retained them 2 or 3 days had great Presents from them and sent to visit their Ship to see if there was any prohibited Goods therein as Cinnamon Cloves and other things There was about 700 Persons in the Ship the most part Passengers who were going in Pilgrimage to the Sepulcher of their Prophet Mahomet This Ship was said to be worth above Two Millions for there was nothing but Merchandize of Silk and other curious and precious Things After this Encounter we passed the Mouth of the Red-Sea near to the Isle of Socreta on the 7th of May and there Socoreta Isle we had great Calms which in regard of the want we were in for fresh Water and other Necessaries much troubled us When we arrived at the Bar of Goa we had but little Victuals left and had we tarried but a little while longer we had all Died of Hunger By the way we found a Ship which came from Chaoul and was commanded by an Arabian We commanded him with Cannon Shot to lower his Sails for he would not obey at first and being come on Board us Captain Mor made him Prisoner at the Poop where he was for some time but having made some Presents to the Captain he was let go because he Traffick'd with the Portugals We kept two of these Mariners to serve us for the knowledge of the Coast if by chance we should meet with contrary Winds One of these Mariners shewed me a Bird no bigger than a Linnet and told me it never stirred from the Sea
