At high water the tides rising so high as they do, the coast shows very low: but when it is low water it seems to be of an indifferent height.

At low water-mark the shore is all rocky, so that then there is no landing with a boat; but at high water a boat may come in over those rocks to the sandy bay, which runs all along on this coast.

The land by the sea for about five or six hundred yards is a dry sandy soil, bearing only shrubs and bushes of divers sorts.

Some of these had them at this time of the year, yellow flowers or blossoms, some blue, and some white; most of them of a very fragrant smell.

Some had fruit like peascods, in each of which there were just ten small peas; I opened many of them, and found no more nor less.
