signes whether his countreymen had not slaine this man and eat his flesh so
from the bones, he made signes to the contrary, and that he was slaine with
Wolues and wild beasts. Here also was found hid vnder stones good store of
fish, and [Sidenote: Bridles, kniues, and other instruments found hid among

which is the entrance of the streites not aboue 30 leagues. Vpon this Iland
was found good store of Ore, which in the washing helde golde to our
thinking plainly to be seene: whereupon it was thought best rather to load
