Then John Ellis, the master of the _Moonshine_, was appointed to use his best policy to gain their friendship, who shook his breast and pointed to the sun after their order, which when he had divers times done they began to trust him, and one of them came on shore, to whom we threw our caps, stockings, and gloves, and such other things as then we had about us, playing with our music, and making signs of joy, and dancing.

So the night coming we bade them farewell, and went aboard our barques.
The next morning, being the 30th of July, there came thirty-seven canoes rowing by our ships calling to us to come on shore; we not making any great haste unto them, one of them went up to the top of the rock, and leaped and danced as they had done the day before, showing us a seal skin, and another thing made like a timbrel, which he did beat upon with a stick, making a noise like a small drum.

Whereupon we manned our boats and came to them, they all staying in their canoes.

We came to the water's side, where they were, and after we had sworn by the sun after their fashion they did trust us.

So I shook hands with one of them, and he kissed my hand, and we were very familiar with them.
