and this did us a singular Kindness, in our Journey. Near the Town,
within their clear'd Land, are several Bagnios, or Sweating-Houses,
made of Stone, in Shape like a large Oven. These they make much Use of;
especially, for any Pains in the Joints, got by Cold, or Travelling.
At Night, as we lay in our Beds, there arose the most violent N.W. Wind
I ever knew. The first Puff blew down all the Palisadoes that fortify'd
the Town; and I thought it would have blown us all into the River,
together with the Houses. Our one-ey'd King, who pretends much
to the Art of Conjuration, ran out in the most violent Hurry,
and in the Middle of the Town, fell to his Necromantick Practice;
tho' I thought he would have been blown away or kill'd,
before the Devil and he could have exchang'd half a dozen Words;
but in two Minutes, the Wind was ceas'd, and it became as great a Calm,
as ever I knew in my Life. As I much admir'd at that sudden Alteration,
the old Man told me, the Devil was very angry, and had done thus,
because they had not put the Sinnagers to Death.

{Monday.}
On Monday Morning, our whole Company, with the Horses,
set out from the Sapona-Indian Town, after having seen some of the Locust,
which is gotten thereabouts, the same Sort that bears Honey.
Going over several Creeks, very convenient for Water-Mills,
about 8 Miles from the Town, we pass'd over a very pretty River,
call'd Rocky River, a fit Name, having a Ridge of high Mountains running
from its Banks, to the Eastward; and disgorging itself into Sapona-River;
so that there is a most pleasant and convenient Neck of Land,
betwixt both Rivers, lying upon a Point, where many thousand Acres
may be fenced in, without much Cost or Labour. You can scarce go a Mile,
without meeting with one of these small swift Currents,
here being no Swamps to be found, but pleasant, dry Roads
