They Had Shap'd Them Neatly,
Like The Head Of A Dart; But Which Way They Did It, I Can't Tell.
We had not been at this Town above an Hour, when two of our Company,
that had bought a Mare
Of John Stewart, came up to us,
having receiv'd a Letter by one of Will's Indians, who was very cautious,
and asked a great many Questions, to certifie him of the Person,
e'er he would deliver the Letter. They had left the Trader,
and one that came from South-Carolina with us, to go to Virginia;
these Two being resolved to go to Carolina with us.

This Day fell much Rain, so we staid at the Indian Town.
{Friday.}
This Morning, we set out early, being four English-Men,
besides several Indians. We went 10 Miles, and were then stopp'd
by the Freshes of Enoe-River, which had rais'd it so high,
that we could not pass over, till it was fallen. I enquir'd of my Guide,
Where this River disgorg'd it self? He said, It was Enoe-River,
and run into a Place call'd Enoe-Bay, near his Country, which he left
when he was a Boy; by which I perceiv'd, he was one of the Cores by Birth:
This being a Branch of Neus-River.
{Saturday.}
This Day, our Fellow-Traveller's Mare ran away from him;
wherefore, Will went back as far as the lower Quarter, and brought her back.
{Sunday.}
The next Day, early, came two Tuskeruro Indians to the other side
of the River, but could not get over.
