Their bodys were cover'd, more or less, with a kind of White down.
Their skins are spotted, some parts being much whiter than others.

They are short-sighted, with their eyes oftimes full of rheum, and always look'd unwholesome, and have neither the Spirit nor the activity of the other Natives.

I did not see above 3 or 4 upon the whole Island, and these were old men; so that I concluded that this difference of colour, etc., was accidental, and did not run in families, for if it did they must have been more Numerous.

The inhabitants of this Island are Troubled with a sort of Leprosy, or Scab all over their bodys.

I have seen Men, Women, and Children, but not many, who have had this distemper to that degree as not to be able to walk.
