, dryed Flesh: And sometimes they would shoot Deer
and find Hony in the Trees, good part of which they always brought
unto us. And drink we could not want, there being Rivers and Puddles
full of Water as we Travelled along.

[And in the Towns among the Inhabitants.] But when we came out of the
Woods among Inhabitants and were led into their Towns, they brought
us Victuals ready dressed after their fashion, viz. Rice boiled in
Water, and three other sorts of Food, whereof one Flesh, and the
other two Herbs or such like things that grow in their Countrey, and
all kinds of ripe Fruit, which we liked very well and fed heartily
upon. Our entertainment all along was at the Charge of the Countrey:
So we fed like Soldiers upon free Quarter. Yet I think we gave them

and brought nearer to the City, to be ready when the King should
send for us. All the Rest were placed one in a Town according to the
aforesaid Order. Special Command also was given from the King, that
we all should be well entertained, and according to the Countrey fare
we had no cause to complain. We four were thus kept together some
two Months, faring well all the while. But the King minding us not,
[Parted.] Order came from the great Men in Court to place us in
Towns, as the rest were; only my Father and I were still
