This labor occupied many days, for the three hundred new colonists had brought with them a vast amount of provisions, munitions of war, tools, and articles of every description necessary for the building and equipping of other forts in the New World, and all this had to be brought in over the bar and carried up the river.
He said, "I will open after supper." It was near that time then, and I thought I must go to work if I wanted to beat this man.

I tried the keys I had, and found one to fit.
"You've never seen my clothing store, have you?" he asked. And with the child's hand in his he led the way into a room at the rear of the loft.

One by one at first, and finally in batches, they shouldered their tools and moodily withdrew from the attack.
It required three months to manufacture the necessary tools for washing and sifting the gold, but famine obliged him to abandon this enterprise before it was terminated. At a place sixty miles farther on, where he and the greater part of his soldiers went, he succeeded in procuring from the islanders a small quantity of the bread they make, to such a bad state were affairs at that time reduced.
