, for they were like trunkes, out of the which trunkes they shot
so great numbers of arrowes, that they fell as thick as hayle, and shot so
certaineiy, that therewith they hurt at the least eyght or nine of our men,
but the arrowes are thinne and light, so that their blaste coulde not make
them enter into the flesh aboue the thicknes of two fingers, onely the head
of the arrowe (which is made of reede, and loose stayeth in the flesh) when
we shot with our Caliuers they ranne behind their fightes, but when they
perceiued that their matted fights could not defende them, and that they
were killed through them, they entered into their boate, and by strength of
oares rowed from vs, leauing their shippe, wherein we founde two dead men,
and we slew three more of them as we rowed after their boat, so that in all
they lost fiue men, as we after heard, and that they were to the number of
40. which done, wee brought their shippe to ours, wherein we found good
store of Ryce and dryed fish.

marchandise, but vppon some occasions and by reason of their hard vsage the
Marchants had withdrauen themselues from thence, therefore at this present
there is little or nothing to doe. Iohn Hughen in his booke saith this to
be the principal towne of trafficke; but that is long sithence, for now
there is not any trade of marchandise.

The fourteenth of Nouember wee sent two of our men into the towne, hauing
some of theirs in pawne, who tolde vs that many of the inhabitants were
gone out of the towne with all their goodes, being in great feare of our
