The other colony was that of Will Atkins, where there were fourfamilies of Englishmen, I mean those I had left there, with theirwives and children; three savages that were slaves, the widow andchildren of the Englishman that was killed, the young man and themaid, and, by the way, we made a wife of her before we went away.There were besides the two carpenters and the tailor, whom Ibrought with me for them: also the smith, who was a very necessaryman to them, especially as a gunsmith, to take care of their arms;and my other man, whom I called Jack-of-all-trades, who was inhimself as good almost as twenty men; for he was not only a veryingenious fellow, but a very merry fellow, and before I went awaywe married him to the honest maid that came with the youth in theship I mentioned before.
The two men had innumerable young trees planted about their huts,so that, when you came to the place, nothing was to be seen but awood; and though they had twice had their plantation demolished,once by their own countrymen, and once by the enemy, as shall beshown in its place, yet they had restored all again, and everythingwas thriving and flourishing about them; they had grapes planted inorder, and managed like a vineyard, though they had themselvesnever seen anything of that kind; and by their good ordering theirvines, their grapes were as good again as any of the others. Theyhad also found themselves out a retreat in the thickest part of thewoods, where, though there was not a natural cave, as I had found,yet they made one with incessant labour of their hands, and where,when the mischief which followed happened, they secured their wivesand children so as they could never be found; they having, bysticking innumerable stakes and poles of the wood which, as I said,grew so readily, made the grove impassable

At last the Tartars came on, and an innumerable company they were;how many we could not tell, but ten thousand, we thought, at theleast.

Wetravelled on gently, but this figure of a gentleman rode awaybefore us; and as we stopped at a village about an hour to refreshus, when we came by the country seat of this great man, we saw himin a little place before his door, eating a repast. It was a kindof garden, but he was easy to be seen; and we were given tounderstand that the more we looked at him the better he would bepleased. He sat under a tree, something like the palmetto, whicheffectually shaded him over the head, and on the south side; butunder the tree was placed a large umbrella, which made that partlook well enough. He sat lolling back in a great elbow-chair,being a heavy corpulent man, and had his meat brought him b
