ABSTRACT

‘The African prince returned the marine monarch many thanks for his condescension and entertaining narrative; after which they retired to repose. Many months glided away in this tranquil recess, in which Pangoleen partook, as much as possible, of all the entertainments of the bay; sometimes visiting, when the tide would permit, the resplendent temple; at other times amusing the / young princes by sailing or rowing in his boat, or shooting the various birds which fearlessly visited this peaceful retreat. He also at his leisure made a seine, with which he supplied himself with abundance of fish; while his decoy gave much sport to the natives, and great plenty of ducks and geese for his table. As his clothes were in a decaying state, he made up for himself a very commodious suit of seal and otter skins.
