so that tho' the other Virgins offer'd their Service to us,
we gave them their Answer, and went to sleep. About an Hour before day,
I awak'd, and saw somebody walking up and down the Room
in a seemingly deep Melancholy. I call'd out to know who it was,
and it prov'd to be Mr. Bridegroom, who in less than 12 Hours, was Batchelor,
Husband, and Widdower, his dear Spouse having pick'd his Pocket of the Beads,
Cadis, and what else should have gratified the Indians
for the Victuals we receiv'd of them. However that did not serve her turn,
but she had also got his Shooes away, which he had made the Night before,
of a drest Buck-Skin. Thus dearly did our Spark already repent
his new Bargain, walking bare-foot, in his Penitentials,
like some poor Pilgrim to Loretto.

After the Indians had laugh'd their Sides sore at the Figure
Mr. Bridegroom made, with much ado, we muster'd up another Pair of Shooes,
or Moggisons, and set forward on our intended Voyage,
the Company (all the way) lifting up their Prayers for the new married Couple,
whose Wedding had made away with that, which should have purchas'd our Food.

{Wednesday.}
Relying wholly on Providence, we march'd on, now and then paying our Respects
to the new-married Man. The Land held rich and good;
in many Places there were great Quantities of Marble.
The Water was still of a wheyish Colour. About 10 of the Clock,
we waded thro' a River, (about the Bigness of Derwent, in Yorkshire)
which I take to be one of the Branches of Winjaw River.
We saw several Flocks of Pigeons, Field-Fares, and Thrushes,
much like those of Europe. The Indians of these Parts
use Sweating very much. If any Pain seize their Limbs, or Body,
immediately they take Reeds, or small Wands, and bend them Umbrella-Fashion,
