When we departed in the evening and would not tarry all night...
Stran 287 - In the morning, two great canoes came aboard full of men ; the one with their bows and arrows, and the other in show of buying of knives to betray us ; but we perceived their intent. We took two of them to have kept them, and put red coats on them, and would not suffer the other to come near us. So they went on land, and two others came...
