The forces having united, they came to the ships, saving the spoils, and all well.
Shortly after, the master of the camp was sent to examine the mouth of the river, which is in the middle of the bay, with the launch, a boat, and a party of men.

He tried the depth at the mouth, and found that there was no bottom, with the length of an oar and his own arm.

He went further up in the beat, and the view of the river gave much pleasure to those who were with him, as well for its size and the clearness of the water, as for its gentle current and the beauty of the trees on its banks.
The launch passed further up, and they landed on the bank and went inland.

They found a small village of four streets, and an open space at the most elevated part.

All round there were many farms, surrounded by palings.
