Being come out thro the Woods into this Plain, we stood looking and staring round about us, but knew not where nor which way to go.

At length we heard a Cock crow, which was a sure sign to us that there was a Town hard by; into which we were resolved to enter.

For standing thus amazed, was the ready way to be taken up for suspitious persons; especially because White men never come down so low.
[The People stand amazed at them.] Being entred into this Town, we sate our selves under a Tree, and proclaimed our Wares, for we feared to rush into their Yards, as we used to do in other places, lest we should scare them.

The People stood amazed as soon as they saw us, being originally Malabars, tho Subjects of Cande.

Nor could they understand the Chingulay Language in which we spake to them.
