THE next day, the 23d of this month,[166]――because that toward the south I had not found any commodious place for us to inhabit, and to build a fort,――I gave commandment to weigh anchor, and to hoist our sails to sail toward the River of May,[167] where we arrived two days after, and cast anchor. Afterward going on land with some number of gentlemen and soldiers, to know for a certainty the singularities of this place, we espied the _paracoussey_[168] of the country, which came towards us,――this was the very same that we saw in the voyage of Capt. John Ribaut. Which, having espied us, cried very far off, “_Antipola, antipola!_” And, being so joyful that he could not contain himself, he came to meet us, accompanied with two of his sons, as fair and mighty persons as might be found in all the world, which had nothing in their mouths but this word, “_Ami, ami;_” that is to say, “Friend, friend!” Yea; and, knowing those which were there in the first voyage, they went principally to them to use this speech unto them. There was in their train a great number of men and women, which still made very much of us, and by evident signs made us understand how glad they were of our arrival. This good entertainment passed, the _paracoussey_ prayed me to go see the pillar which we had erected in the voyage of John Ribaut――as we have declared heretofore――as a thing which they made great account of.

Having yielded unto him, and being come to the place where it was set up, we found the same crowned with crowns of bay, and at the foot thereof many little baskets full of mill,[169] which they call in their language _tapaga tapola_. Then, when they came thither, they kissed the same with great reverence, and besought us to do the like, which we would not deny them, to the end we might draw them to be more in friendship with us. This done, the _paracoussey_ took me by the hand, as if he had desire to make me understand some great secret, and by signs showed me very well up within the river the limits of his dominion, and said that he was called _Paracoussey_ Satouriona, which is as much as King Satouriona. His children have the selfsame title of _paracoussey_. The eldest is named Athore,――a man, I dare say, perfect in wisdom, beauty, and honest sobriety; showing by his modest gravity that he deserveth the name which he beareth, besides that he is gentle and tractable. After we had sojourned a certain space with them, the _paracoussey_ prayed one of his sons to present unto me a wedge of silver, which he did, and that with a good will; in recompense whereof I gave him a cutting-hook and some other better present, wherewith he seemed to be very well pleased. Afterward we took our leave of them, because the night approached, and then returned to lodge in our ships.
