[They get away fairly from the Governour.] The morning being come, we first took care to fill our Bellies; then we packed up those things which were necessary for our Journey to carry with us, and the rest of our Goods, Cotton Yarn, and Cloth and other things; that we would not incumber our selves withall, we bound up in a Bundle, intending to leave them behind us.  This being done, I went to the Governor, and carried him four or five charges of Gunpowder, a thing somewhat scarce with them, intreating him rather than we should be disappointed of Flesh, to make use of that and shoot some Deer; which he was very willing to accept of, and to us it could be no wayes profitable, not having a Gun.  While we, we told him, would make a step to Anarodgburro to see what Flesh we could procure there.  In the mean time, according as we had before layd the business, came Stephen with the Bundle of Goods, desiring to leave them in his house, till we came back.  Which he was very ready to grant us leave to do.  And seeing us leave such a parcel of Goods, tho, God knowes, but of little account in themselves, yet of considerable value in that Land, he could not suppose otherwise but that we were intended to return again.  Thus we took our leaves, and immediately departed, not giving him time to consider with himself, or consult with others about us.  And he like a good natured man bid us heartily farewel.

Altho we knew not the way to this Town, having never been there in all our lives, and durst not ask, lest it might breed suspition; yet we went on confidently thro a desolate Wood:  and happened to go very right, and came out directly at the place.

[In their way they meet with a River which they found for their purpose.] But in our way before we arrived hither, we came up with a small River, which ran thro the Woods, called by the Chingulayes Malwat oyah:  the which we viewed well, and judged it might be a probable guide to carry us down to the Sea, if a better did not present.  Howbeit we thought good to try first the way we were taking, and to go onward towards Anarodgburro, that being the shortest and easiest way to get to the Coast:  and this River being as under our Lee, ready to serve and assist us, if other means failed.

[They come safely to Anarodgburro.  This Place described.] To Anarodgburro therefore we came, called also Neur Waug.  Which is not so much a particular single Town, as a Territory.  It is a vast great Plain, the like I never saw in all that Island:  in the midst whereof is a Lake, which may be a mile over, not natural, but made by art, as other Ponds in the Country, to serve them to water their Corn Grounds.  This Plain is encompassed round with Woods, and small Towns among them on every side, inhabited by Malabars, a distinct People from the Chingulayes.  But these Towns we could not see till we came in among them.  Being come out thro the Woods into this Plain, we stood looking and staring round about us, but knew not where nor which way to go.  At length we heard a Cock crow, which was a sure sign to us that there was a Town hard by; into which we were resolved to enter.  For standing thus amazed, was the ready way to be taken up for suspitious persons; especially because White men never come down so low.
