A
great
stone
that
I
happened
to
find
,
after
a
long
search
,
by
the
sea-shore
,
served
me
for
an
anchor
.
I
had
the
tallow
of
three
hundred
cows
,
for
greasing
my
boat
,
and
other
uses
.
I
was
at
incredible
pains
in
cutting
down
some
of
the
largest
timber-trees
,
for
oars
and
masts
,
wherein
I
was
,
however
,
much
assisted
by
his
majesty
's
ship-carpenters
,
who
helped
me
in
smoothing
them
,
after
I
had
done
the
rough
work
.
In
about
a
month
,
when
all
was
prepared
,
I
sent
to
receive
his
majesty
's
commands
,
and
to
take
my
leave
.
The
emperor
and
royal
family
came
out
of
the
palace
;
I
lay
down
on
my
face
to
kiss
his
hand
,
which
he
very
graciously
gave
me
:
so
did
the
empress
and
young
princes
of
the
blood
.
His
majesty
presented
me
with
fifty
purses
of
two
hundred
sprugs
a-piece
,
together
with
his
picture
at
full
length
,
which
I
put
immediately
into
one
of
my
gloves
,
to
keep
it
from
being
hurt
.
The
ceremonies
at
my
departure
were
too
many
to
trouble
the
reader
with
at
this
time
.
I
stored
the
boat
with
the
carcases
of
a
hundred
oxen
,
and
three
hundred
sheep
,
with
bread
and
drink
proportionable
,
and
as
much
meat
ready
dressed
as
four
hundred
cooks
could
provide
.
I
took
with
me
six
cows
and
two
bulls
alive
,
with
as
many
ewes
and
rams
,
intending
to
carry
them
into
my
own
country
,
and
propagate
the
breed
.
And
to
feed
them
on
board
,
I
had
a
good
bundle
of
hay
,
and
a
bag
of
corn
.
I
would
gladly
have
taken
a
dozen
of
the
natives
,
but
this
was
a
thing
the
emperor
would
by
no
means
permit
;
and
,
besides
a
diligent
search
into
my
pockets
,
his
majesty
engaged
my
honour
"
not
to
carry
away
any
of
his
subjects
,
although
with
their
own
consent
and
desire
.
"
Having
thus
prepared
all
things
as
well
as
I
was
able
,
I
set
sail
on
the
twenty-fourth
day
of
September
1701
,
at
six
in
the
morning
;
and
when
I
had
gone
about
four-leagues
to
the
northward
,
the
wind
being
at
south-east
,
at
six
in
the
evening
I
descried
a
small
island
,
about
half
a
league
to
the
north-west
.
I
advanced
forward
,
and
cast
anchor
on
the
lee-side
of
the
island
,
which
seemed
to
be
uninhabited
.
I
then
took
some
refreshment
,
and
went
to
my
rest
.
I
slept
well
,
and
as
I
conjectured
at
least
six
hours
,
for
I
found
the
day
broke
in
two
hours
after
I
awaked
.
It
was
a
clear
night
.
I
ate
my
breakfast
before
the
sun
was
up
;
and
heaving
anchor
,
the
wind
being
favourable
,
I
steered
the
same
course
that
I
had
done
the
day
before
,
wherein
I
was
directed
by
my
pocket
compass
.
My
intention
was
to
reach
,
if
possible
,
one
of
those
islands
.
which
I
had
reason
to
believe
lay
to
the
north-east
of
Van
Diemen
's
Land
.
I
discovered
nothing
all
that
day
;
but
upon
the
next
,
about
three
in
the
afternoon
,
when
I
had
by
my
computation
made
twenty-four
leagues
from
Blefuscu
,
I
descried
a
sail
steering
to
the
south-east
;
my
course
was
due
east
.
I
hailed
her
,
but
could
get
no
answer
;
yet
I
found
I
gained
upon
her
,
for
the
wind
slackened
.
I
made
all
the
sail
I
could
,
and
in
half
an
hour
she
spied
me
,
then
hung
out
her
ancient
,
and
discharged
a
gun
.
It
is
not
easy
to
express
the
joy
I
was
in
,
upon
the
unexpected
hope
of
once
more
seeing
my
beloved
country
,
and
the
dear
pledges
I
left
in
it
.
The
ship
slackened
her
sails
,
and
I
came
up
with
her
between
five
and
six
in
the
evening
,
September
26th
;
but
my
heart
leaped
within
me
to
see
her
English
colours
.
I
put
my
cows
and
sheep
into
my
coat-pockets
,
and
got
on
board
with
all
my
little
cargo
of
provisions
.
The
vessel
was
an
English
merchantman
,
returning
from
Japan
by
the
North
and
South
seas
;
the
captain
,
Mr.
John
Biddel
,
of
Deptford
,
a
very
civil
man
,
and
an
excellent
sailor
.
We
were
now
in
the
latitude
of
30
degrees
south
;
there
were
about
fifty
men
in
the
ship
;
and
here
I
met
an
old
comrade
of
mine
,
one
Peter
Williams
,
who
gave
me
a
good
character
to
the
captain
.
This
gentleman
treated
me
with
kindness
,
and
desired
I
would
let
him
know
what
place
I
came
from
last
,
and
whither
I
was
bound
;
which
I
did
in
a
few
words
,
but
he
thought
I
was
raving
,
and
that
the
dangers
I
underwent
had
disturbed
my
head
;
whereupon
I
took
my
black
cattle
and
sheep
out
of
my
pocket
,
which
,
after
great
astonishment
,
clearly
convinced
him
of
my
veracity
.
I
then
showed
him
the
gold
given
me
by
the
emperor
of
Blefuscu
,
together
with
his
majesty
's
picture
at
full
length
,
and
some
other
rarities
of
that
country
.
I
gave
him
two
purses
of
two
hundreds
sprugs
each
,
and
promised
,
when
we
arrived
in
England
,
to
make
him
a
present
of
a
cow
and
a
sheep
big
with
young
.
I
shall
not
trouble
the
reader
with
a
particular
account
of
this
voyage
,
which
was
very
prosperous
for
the
most
part
.
We
arrived
in
the
Downs
on
the
13th
of
April
,
1702
.
I
had
only
one
misfortune
,
that
the
rats
on
board
carried
away
one
of
my
sheep
;
I
found
her
bones
in
a
hole
,
picked
clean
from
the
flesh
.
The
rest
of
my
cattle
I
got
safe
ashore
,
and
set
them
a-grazing
in
a
bowling-green
at
Greenwich
,
where
the
fineness
of
the
grass
made
them
feed
very
heartily
,
though
I
had
always
feared
the
contrary
:
neither
could
I
possibly
have
preserved
them
in
so
long
a
voyage
,
if
the
captain
had
not
allowed
me
some
of
his
best
biscuit
,
which
,
rubbed
to
powder
,
and
mingled
with
water
,
was
their
constant
food
.
The
short
time
I
continued
in
England
,
I
made
a
considerable
profit
by
showing
my
cattle
to
many
persons
of
quality
and
others
:
and
before
I
began
my
second
voyage
,
I
sold
them
for
six
hundred
pounds
.
Since
my
last
return
I
find
the
breed
is
considerably
increased
,
especially
the
sheep
,
which
I
hope
will
prove
much
to
the
advantage
of
the
woollen
manufacture
,
by
the
fineness
of
the
fleeces
.
I
stayed
but
two
months
with
my
wife
and
family
,
for
my
insatiable
desire
of
seeing
foreign
countries
,
would
suffer
me
to
continue
no
longer
.
I
left
fifteen
hundred
pounds
with
my
wife
,
and
fixed
her
in
a
good
house
at
Redriff
.
My
remaining
stock
I
carried
with
me
,
part
in
money
and
part
in
goods
,
in
hopes
to
improve
my
fortunes
.
My
eldest
uncle
John
had
left
me
an
estate
in
land
,
near
Epping
,
of
about
thirty
pounds
a-year
;
and
I
had
a
long
lease
of
the
Black
Bull
in
Fetter-Lane
,
which
yielded
me
as
much
more
;
so
that
I
was
not
in
any
danger
of
leaving
my
family
upon
the
parish
.
My
son
Johnny
,
named
so
after
his
uncle
,
was
at
the
grammar-school
,
and
a
towardly
child
.
My
daughter
Betty
(
(
who
is
now
well
married
,
and
has
children
)
)
was
then
at
her
needle-work
.
I
took
leave
of
my
wife
,
and
boy
and
girl
,
with
tears
on
both
sides
,
and
went
on
board
the
Adventure
,
a
merchant
ship
of
three
hundred
tons
,
bound
for
Surat
,
captain
John
Nicholas
,
of
Liverpool
,
commander
.
But
my
account
of
this
voyage
must
be
referred
to
the
Second
Part
of
my
Travels
.
