ABSTRACT
Every Man has two, three, or more Fetishesto his fancy; one worn about him, or in his Canoo; the rest at home, bequeathing them, as they prove serviceable, from Father to Son. There is also at Cabo Corso, a publick Fetish, the Guardian of them all; and that is the Rock Tabra, a bluff peninsular Prominence that juts out from the Bottom of the Clift the Castle stands on, making a sort of Cover for Landing, but so unsafe, as frequently to expose the Boats and People to Danger, the Sea breaking over with great force. The Castle is a large Quadrangle, built by the Portuguese; for tho' the French first discovered this Part, their Civil Wars hindred Settlements first made by them; who erected Forts, from whom the Dutch seized their's, and we from them again. the Gentlemen of the Factory say, they have been seen here 30 foot long, able to swallow a Child whole; Deer.
