The afternoon was tempestuous, with much rain, and the surf every where ran so high, that although we rowed almost round the bay, we found no place where we could land: I determined therefore to return to the ship, which being intimated to the chiefs, they called to the people on shore, and ordered a canoe to be sent off for themselves; this was accordingly done, and they left us, promising to come on board again in the morning, and bring us some fish and sweet-potatoes.
It contained some rice, a piece of bacon, corn-cake, and three sweet-potatoes. "Coarse fare, but I can get along with it. Come Tommy, I guess you're hungry, as well as myself," said the captain, and they sat down, and soon demolished the feast of Southern hospitality. Tommy clambered ashore, and up the bank wending his way to the house.
Why, those little packages were only a beginning! We must have pounds, quarts, bushels. And we must have other things sweet-potatoes, for instance, and asparagus we have overlooked those. Elizabeth came, and was bitten by that smell, too, but she partially kept her balance.
