[Sidenote:  Their maner of kindling fire like to theirs in America.] Being among them at shore the fourth of Iuly, one of them making a long oration, beganne to kindle a fire in this maner:  he tooke a piece of a board wherein was a hole halfe thorow:  into that hole he puts the end of a round stick like vnto a bedstaffe, wetting the end thereof in Trane, and in fashion of a turner with a piece of lether, by his violent motion doeth very speedily produce fire:  [Sidenote:  A fire made of turfes.] which done, with turfes he made a fire, into which with many words and strange gestures, he put diuerse things, which wee supposed to be a sacrifice:  my selfe and diuers of my company standing by, they were desirous to haue me go into the smoke, I willed them likewise to stand in the smoke, which they by no meanes would do.  I then tooke one of them, and thrust him into the smoke, and willed one of my company to tread out the fire, and to spurne it into the sea, which was done to shew them that we did contemne their sorcery. [Sidenote:  Great theeues.] These people are very simple in all their conuersation, but marueillous theeuish, especially for iron, which they haue in great account.  They began through our lenitie to shew their vile nature:  they began to cut our cables:  they cut away the Moonelights boat from her sterne, they cut our cloth where it lay to aire, though we did carefully looke vnto it, they stole our oares, a caliuer, a boare speare, a sword, with diuers other things, whereat the company and Masters being grieued, for our better securitie, desired me to dissolue this new friendship, and to leaue the company of these theeuish miscreants:  whereupon there was a caliuer shot among them, and immediatly vpon the same a faulcon, which strange noice did sore amaze them, so that with speed they departed:  notwithstanding their simplicitie is such, that within ten hours after they came againe to vs to entreat peace:  which being promised, we againe fell into a great league.  They brought vs Seale skinnes, and sammon peale, but seeing iron, they could in no wise forbeare stealing:  which when I perceiued, it did but minister vnto mee an occasion of laughter, to see their simplicitie, and I willed that, in no case they should bee any more hardly used, but that our owne company should be the more vigilant to keepe their things, supposing it to be very hard in so short time to make them know their euils. [Sidenote:  Their rude diet.] They eate all their meat raw, they liue most vpon fish, they drinke salt water, and eate grasse and ice with delight:  they are neuer out of the water, but liue in the nature of fishes, saue only when dead sleepe taketh them, and then vnder a warme rocke laying his boat vpon the land, hee lyeth downe to sleepe. [Sidenote:  Their weapons.] Their weapons are all darts, but some of them haue bow and arrowes and slings. [Sidenote:  Strange nets.] They make nets to take their fish of the finne of a whale:  they do their things very artificially:  [Sidenote:
