They have every one of them two sorts of arrows: the one to defend
himself and offend the enemy, the other to kill his victuals. These for
fight are somewhat like the Scottish arrow; only somewhat longer, and
headed with iron, wood, or fish bones. But the arrows for provision are
of three sorts, the first serveth to kill any great beast near at hand,
as ox, stag, or wild boar: this hath a head of iron of a pound and a
half weight, shaped in form like the head of a javelin or boar-spear,
as sharp as any knife, making so large and deep a wound as can hardly
be believed of him that hath not seen it. The second serveth for lesser
beasts, and hath a head of three-quarters of a pound: this he most
usually shooteth. The third serveth for all manner of birds: it hath a
head of an ounce weight. And these heads though they be of iron only,
yet are they so cunningly tempered, that they will continue a very good
edge a long time: and though they be turned sometimes, yet they
will never or seldom break. The necessity in which they stand hereof
continually causeth them to have iron in far greater account than gold:
and no man among them is of greater estimation, than he that can most
perfectly give this temper unto it.

Every day we were marching by sun-rising. We continued till ten in
the forenoon: then resting (ever near some river) till past twelve, we
marched till four, and then by some river's side, we reposed ourselves
in such houses, as either we found prepared heretofore by them, when
they travelled through these woods, or they daily built very readily for
us in this manner.

As soon as we came to the place where we intended to lodge, the
Cimaroons, presently laying down their burdens, fell to cutting of forks
or posts, and poles or rafters, and palmito boughs, or plantain leaves;
and with great speed set up the number of six houses. For every of
