and all, yet did retrieve his ffeete and gott Cleer off y^e place w^{th} me on his Back. Soe I Came to Hoile 8 mile more, they are very Long miles y^e ffarther West but you have y^e pleasure of Rideing as if in a Grove in most places, y^e Regular Rowes of trees on Each side y^e Roade as if it were an Entrance into some gentlemans Ground to his house. I fferryed over againe Cross an arme of y^e sea, here it was not broad but Exceeding deep. This is y^e Southsea w^{ch} runs into many Little Creekes for severall miles into y^e Land w^{ch} is all y^e rivers they have. I observed this to be exceeding salt and as green as ever I saw y^e sea when I have been a League or two out from y^e Land, w^{ch} shews it must be very deep and Great tides. This Hoile is a narrow stony town, y^e streetes very Close, and as I descended a Great steep into y^e town, soe I ascended one up a stony Long hill farre worse and full of shelves and Rocks and 3 tymes as Long as Dean Clapperhill, w^{ch} I Name because when I was there they would have frighted me with its terribleness as y^e most inaccessible place as Ever was and none Like it, and my opinion is y^t it was but one or two steps, to other places forty steps and them w^{th} more hazard than this of Dean Clapper. Well, to pass on, I went over some Little heath Ground but mostly Lanes, and those stony and Dirty, 3 mile and halfe to Parr; here I fferry’d over againe, not but when the tyde is out you may ford it. Thence I went over the heath to S^t Austins w^{ch} is a Little market town where I Lay, but their houses are like Barnes up to y^e top of y^e house. Here was a pretty good dineing room and Chamber within it and very neate Country women. My Landlady brought me one of y^e west Country tarts this was y^e first I met w^{th} though. I had asked for them in many places in Sommerset and Devonshire; its an apple pye w^{th} a Custard all on the top, its y^e most acceptable entertainment y^t Could be made me. They scald their Creame and milk in most parts of those Countrys and so its a sort of Clouted Creame as we Call it, w^{th} a Little sugar and soe put on y^e top of y^e apple Pye. I was much pleased w^{th} my supper tho’ not with the Custome of the Country w^{ch} is a universall smoaking, both men women and children have all their pipes of tobacco in their mouths and soe sit round the fire smoaking w^{ch} was not delightfull to me when I went down to talke w^{th} my Landlady for jnformation of any matter and Customs amongst them. I must say they are as Comely sort of women as I have seen any where tho’ in ordinary dress—good black Eyes and Crafty enough and very neate. Halfe a mile from hence they blow their tin w^{ch} went to see. They take y^e ore and pound it in a stamping mill w^{ch} resembles the paper mills, and when its fine as y^e finest sand—some of w^{ch} I saw and took—this they fling into a ffurnace and w^{th} it Coale to make the fire. So it burns
