company which Captaine Yorke discouered the night before, hauing remoued
themselues from the place where he left them.

And now considering their sudden flying from our men, and their desperate
maner of fighting, we began to suspect that we had heard the last newes of
our men which the last yere were betrayed of these people. And considering
also their rauenous and bloody disposition in eating any kind of raw flesh
