So we marched along in the River upon the Sand.

Hereabouts are far more Elephants than higher up: by Day we saw none, but by Night the River is full of them.
[After four or five days travel they come among Inhabitants.] Friday about Nine or Ten in the Morning we came among the Inhabitants.

For then we saw the footing of People on the Sand, and tame Cattel with Bells about their Necks.

Yet we kept on our way right down the River, knowing no other course to take to shun the People.

And as we went still forwards we saw Coracan Corn, sowed in the Woods, but neither Towns nor People; nor so much as the Voice of Man.
