The First Discovery of Australia and New Guinea

CHAPTER XI
41/60

Our people fished with hooks and with nets for the most part.

In swampy parts of the beach shrimps and mussels were seen.
Their fruits are large, and they have many cocoanuts, so that they were not understood to put much store by them.

But from these palms they make wine, vinegar, honey, and whey to give to the sick.

They eat the small palms raw and cooked.

The cocoanuts, when green, serve as _cardos_ and for cream.
