About five o'clock in the afternoon, we observed the tide begin to rise, but we observed at the same time that the leak increased to a most alarming degree, so that two more pumps were manned, but unhappily only one of them would work. Three of the pumps, however, were kept going, and at nine o'clock the ship righted; but the leak had gained upon us so considerably, that it was imagined she must go to the bottom as soon as she ceased...
Seite 312 - Upon these mangroves also we saw small green caterpillars in great numbers : Their bodies were thick set with hairs, and they were ranged upon the leaves side by side like a file of soldiers, to the number of twenty or "thirty together : When we touched them, we found that the hair of their bodies had the quality of a nettle, and gave us a much more acute, though less durable pain.

As soon as he came ashore, he was received by a guard of between twenty and thirty Indians, armed with...
