After Dinner, we left our Scotch Landlord, and went that Night
to the North East Point of the Island: It being dark ere we got there,
our Canoe struck on a Sand near the Breakers, and were in great Danger
of our Lives, but (by God's Blessing) got off safe to the Shore,
where we lay all Night.

{Monday.}
In the Morning we set forwards on our intended Voyage. About two a Clock
we got to Bulls Island, which is about thirty Miles long,
and hath a great Number of both Cattel and Hogs upon it;
the Cattel being very wild, and the Hogs very lean. These two last Islands
belong to one Colonel Cary, an Inhabitant of South Carolina.
Although it were Winter, yet we found such Swarms of Musketoes,
and other troblesome Insects, that we got but little Rest that Night.

{Tuesday.}
The next Day we intended for a small Island on the other Side of Sewee-Bay,
which joining to these Islands, Shipping might come to victual or careen;
but there being such a Burden of those Flies, that few or none
cares to settle there; so the Stock thereon are run wild.
We were gotten about half Way to Racoon-Island, when there sprung up
a tart Gale at N.W. which put us in some Danger of being cast away,
the Bay being rough, and there running great Seas between the two Islands,
which are better than four Leagues asunder, a strong Current of a Tide
setting in and out, which made us turn Tail to it, and got our Canoe
right before the Wind, and came safe into a Creek that is joining to
the North End of Bulls Island. We sent our Indians to hunt,
who brought us two Deers, which were very poor, and their Maws
full of large Grubs.
