fome Cherries: That they had alfo fome Orange and Limon trees in
the ground, which yet thriued: Alfo, Filberds, Hazel-nuts, and
Almonds; and in one place of the Colony, Quince-trees, where-
with they could furnifh his Lordfhip; And in fine, that his Lord-
fhip fhould not want any thing that Colony had.

   On the 7. of March wee came into Chefapeake Bay, and made
fayle to the North for Patoemeck riuer, the Bay running betweene
two fweet lands in the channell of 7. 8. and 9. fathome deepe, 10.
Leagues broad, and full of fifh at the time of the yeere; It is one
of the delightfulleft waters I euer faw, except Potoemeck, which
wee named Saint Gregories. And now being in our owne Coun-
trey, wee began to giue names to places, and called the Southerne
Point, Cape Saint Gregory; and the Northerly Point, Saint
Michaels. This riuer, of all I know, is the greateft and fweeteft,
much broader then the Thames; fo pleafant, as I for my part, was
neuer fatisfied in beholding it. Few Marfhes, or Swannes, but
the greateft part follid good earth, with great curiofity of woods,
which are not choaked vp with vnder-fhrubbs, but fet commonly
one from the other, in fuch diftance, as a Coach and foure horfes
may eafily trauell through them.

   At the firft looming of the fhip vpon the riuer, wee found (as
was foretold vs) all the Countrey in Armes. The King of the
Pafchattowayes had drawen together 1500. bowe-men, which wee
our felues faw, the woods were fired in manner of beacons the
night after; and for that our veffell was the greateft that euer thofe
Indians faw, the fcowtes reported wee came in a Canow, as bigge
as an Iland, and had as many men as there bee trees in the
woods.

   Wee fayled vp the riuer till we came to Heron Ilands, fo called
from the infinite number of that fowle there. The firft of thofe
Ilands, wee called Saint Clements; The fecond, Saint Katharines;
And the third, Saint Cecilies. Wee tooke land firft in Saint
Clements, which is compared about with a fhallow water, and ad-
mitts no acceffe without wading; here, by the ouerturning of the
Shallop, the maids which had beene wafhing at the land, were al-
moft drowned, befide the loffe of much linnen, and amongft the
reft I loft the beft of mine, which is a very maine loffe in thefe parts.
