Afterwards we sent the yawl another way to see for water.

Before night the pinnace brought on board several sorts of fruits that they found in the woods, such as I never saw before.

One of my men killed a stately land-fowl, as big as the largest dunghill cock; it was of a sky-colour, only in the middle of the wings was a white spot, about which were some reddish spots; on the crown it had a large bunch of long feathers, which appeared very pretty; his bill was like pigeon's; he had strong legs and feet, like dunghill fowls, only the claws were reddish; his crop was full of small berries.

It lays an egg as big as a large hen's egg, for our men climbed the tree where it nested, and brought off one egg.

They found water, and reported that the trees were large, tall, and very thick, and that they saw no sign of people.
