The Plymouth settlers "found divers corn fields and little running brooks, a place ... fit for situation," and settled down cuckoo-like in Indian clearings. Mr. In September of their first year the Plymouth men sent out a shallop to trade with the Indians, and when a ship arrived from England in 1621 they speedily loaded her with a return cargo of beaver and lumber.
He began with, "Gentlemen" but Sir Thomas, being a very young man, could never get out that which it appeared he wished to say; and, after repeating "Gentlemen," and hesitating for some time, he, in a most ludicrously affected manner, exclaimed, "England, with all thy faults, I love thee still!" and with this quotation he was so exceedingly delighted, or was so unable to find any thing else to say, that after having, cuckoo-like, to the great amusement of his audience, repeated it at least half a dozen times, he retired without uttering another sentence.
Hardly has the rock of Gibraltar turned to cloud when one's foot is on the soil of an almost unknown Africa.
