ABSTRACT
At Succonda we heel'd and scrubbed Ship, a Ledge of Rock shooting from the western Point nigh a League, making it a smoother Sea than any of the neighbouring Places; and this little Check given to the Water made the Bay flow a foot or two higher than any part of the plain Coast. There are a numerous People called Santies, or Assanties, extending a long way on the back of them, who derive a considerable Trade to the Coast, particularly at Anamaboo. At Cape Three Points we found our Water-Pond almost dried up, tho' the Wind at S. E. had lately brought on two or three heavy Showers of Rain, and they failing, constant thick Fogs in the day, and what is very unusual at the distance we anchor, Dews in the night on board. This Nation, provoked by the frequent Depredations and Panyarrs of the Apollomans, had lately been down and drove them from their Habitations.
