This Captain _Canon_ (for so was his name) inform’d me for certain, that this was a grosse mistake in the Planters, and that no Indians ever came there: But those Pots were brought by the Negres, which they fetcht from Angola, and some other parts of _Africa_; and that he had seen them make of them at _Angola_, with the greatest art that may be. Though I am willing to believe this Captain, who delivered upon his knowledge, that the Negres brought some Pots thither, and very finely and artificially made; yet, it does not hinder any man from believing, that the Indians brought some too; and who knowes, which were the most exactly made. For, ’tis certain, that from some part of the Iland, you may see (in a clear day) St. _Vincents_, perfectly: And if we can see them, why may not they see us; and they will certainly venture to any place they see, so far as they know they can reach before night, setting out very early in the morning. But I leave you to credit which of these you please, either, or both. But I have a great inclination to believe, the _Indians_ have been there, for this reason, that the Iland of St. _Vincents_, lying in the same Climate with this of _Barbadoes_, the Clay may be of the same nature and qualitie; and they, having the skill to bring their Clay to so fine a temper, as to burn and not break, may shew us the way, to temper ours of the _Barbadoes_ so, as we may make Bricks to burn, without chopping or cracking; which those of _Angola_, being far off, and it may be, their Clay of different temper, cannot help us in. And it is no hard matter, to procure an _Indian_ or two, to come from that Iland, and give us direction, which would be of infinite use and advantage, to our buildings in _Barbadoes_. But this digression must not lead me out of the way of my businesse.
