'We found here a few Small hutts made of the bark of trees in one of which were four or five small children ... a quantity of darts lay about the hutts these we took away with us - three Canoes lay upon the bea[c]h ... they were about 10 12 or 14 feet long made of one peice of the bark of a tree drawn or tied up at each end and the middle kept open by means of peices of sticks ...'
'At su[n]rise they were seen walking along the beach; we saw them go into the woods where they lighted fires about a mile from us...'
'...there were Six Canoes and Six small fires near the shore and Muscles roasting upon ^thim and a few Oysters laying near, from this we conjecturd that there had been just Six people who had been out each in his Canoe picking up Muscles & oysters the Shell fish and come a shore to eat them where each had made his fire to dress them by'
'17 Canoes came fishing near our people in the same manner as yesterday only stayd rather longer'
