Having brought our vessels to anchor in a safe place, we landed among these natives, whom we found of much milder dispositions than those we were last among, yet it cost us much trouble and patience to make them familiar with us, but we at length succeeded in making them our friends, and remained five days among them, trafficking for such articles as their country produced: Among these were sugar-canes, green reeds, great quantities of unripe figs, some of which we likewise found ripe on the tops of the trees.

I had to put up with the necks of poultry, and the tails of fishes, watery potatoes, specked apples and scorched custards and if I dared to touch anything better before his precious reverence had eaten and was filled, Mrs. Condiment there would look as sour as if she had bitten an unripe lemon and Cap would tread on my gouty toe!
