maine-land

Updated: July 22, 2025

After a march of "about twelve leagues into the maine-land" the Maroons brought him to a river "that goeth to the South Sea." Here the party halted, and built themselves little huts of boughs to live in while they made themselves a ship. They cut down some trees here, and built themselves a pinnace "which was five and fortie foot by the keele."
