They bring likewise much cotton yarn, dyed red with a root called saia, which never loses its colour, a great quantity of which is sold yearly in Pegu at a good profit. The ships from Bengal, San Thome, and Masulipatam, come to the bar of Negrais and to Cosmin.
But the eleuenth day we altered our opinion and course, and consented to cast about againe for the Iland, to seeke our ships; and about foure of the clocke in the afternoone we met with them. The 13 we fell againe with the Iland of S. Thome; and the same night we found our selues directly vnder the line. The third of August we departed from the Ile of S. Thome, and met the winde at the Southwest.
"If you won't take it from me" he hesitated as she made no reply "Athley'th flush and ready to lend you thome." She had not seemed to hear him, but had stooped in some embarrassment, picked up the knife and hastily hid it, then with averted face and nervous fingers was beginning to tear strips of loose bark from the nearest trunk. "Well, what do you thay?"
"Why, Tommy, we've hardly begun yet," Harriet retorted smilingly. "Maybe you haven't, but thome of uth have about finithed," asserted the little, lisping girl. "For once, Tommy and I agree," groaned Margery. Not long after the girls turned in for the second time that night. Daybreak would soon send its gray light into their camp on Sokoki Leap.
They get up capital imitations of wild animals, dress themselves to represent the Caypor and other fabulous creatures of the forest, and act their parts throughout with great cleverness. When St. Thome's festival takes place, every employer of Indians knows that all his men will get drunk. Thome.
The episcopal registry of Ely seems to have been plundered at some time of its treasures, as some one purchased a book entitled Registrum causarum Consistorii Eliensis de Tempore Domini Thome de Arundele Episcopi Eliensis, a large quarto, written on vellum, containing 162 double pages, which was purchased as waste paper at a grocer's shop at Cambridge together with forty or fifty old books belonging to the registry of Ely.
Before I left Venice, I was requested by letter from Signior Hieronimo Fracastro of Verona, that, on my arrival at Conde, I would send, him an account of my voyage to San Thome, to which island our ships often sail for cargoes of sugar.
When any one goes to Pegu to buy jewels, he will do well to remain there a whole year; for if he would return by the same ship, he can do very little to purpose in so short a time. Those who come from San Thome usually have their goods customed about Christmas, after which they must sell their goods, giving credit for a month or two, and the ships depart about the beginning of March.
I cannot close this subject, without beating my testimony to the correctness of the statements made by our countrymen, Thome and Kimball. They were highly esteemed here by all classes, and had free access to every source of valuable information.
I am afraid Mrs. Europe has occasionally "unloaded" on Uncle Sam. I talked to a certain dealer one afternoon, now many years ago, at the Uwantit Club. "What is the next picture likely to be missing?" I asked him in the course of general conversation. "Thome little thing of Hoppner'th, if it mutht be," he replied with confidence. "Hoppner," I murmured, "I seem to have heard the name."
