About our Feet we tied pieces of Deers-hide to prevent Thorns and Stumps annoying our feet.

We always used to Travel bare foot, but now being to travel by Night and in the Woods, we feared so to do.

For if our feet should fail us now, we were quite undone.

And by the time we had well-fitted our selves, and were refreshed with a Morsel of Portuguez Sweet-meats, the Moon began to shine.

So having commended our selves into the hands of the Almighty, we took up our Provisions upon our shoulders, and set forward, and travelled some three or four hours, but with a great deal of difficulty; for the Trees being thick, the Moon gave but little light thro, but our resolution was to keep going.
[Meeting with an Elephant they took up for that night.] Now it was our chance to meet with an Elephant in our way just before us: which we tryed, but could not scare away: so he forced us to stay.
