They are very wary people in their bargaining, and will not lose one sparke of golde of any value.  They vse weights and measures, and are very circumspect in occupying the same.  They that shall haue to doe with them, must vse them gently:  for they will not trafique or bring in any wares if they be euill vsed.  At the first voyage that our men had into these parties, it so chanced, that at their departure from the first place where they did trafick, one of them either stole a muske Cat, or tooke her away by force, not mistrusting that that should haue hindered their bargaining in another place whither they intended to goe.  But for all the haste they coulde make with full sailes, the fame of their misusage so preuented them, that the people of that place also, offended thereby, would bring in no wares:  insomuch that they were inforced either to restore the Cat, or pay for her at their price before they could trafique there.

Their houses are made of foure postes or trees, and couered with boughes.

Their common feeding is of roots, and such fishes as they take, whereof they haue great plenty.

There are also such flying fishes as are seene in the sea of the West Indies.  Our men salted of their fishes, hoping to prouide store thereof:  but they would take no salt, and must therefore be eaten forthwith as some say.  Howbeit other affirme, that if they be salted immediately after they be taken, they wil last vncorrupted ten or twelue dayes.  But this is more strange, that part of such flesh as they caried with them out of England, which putrified there, became sweete againe at their returne to the clime of temperate regions.

They vse also a strange making of bread, in this maner.  They grinde betweene two stones with their handes as much corne as they thinke may suffice their family, and when they haue thus brought it to floure, they put thereto a certaine quantitie of water, and make thereof very thinne dough, which they sticke vpon some post of their houses, where it is baked by the heate of the Sunne:  so that when the master of the house or any of his family will eate thereof, they take it downe and eate it.

They haue very faire wheate, the eare whereof is two handfuls in length, and as bigge as a great Bulrush, and almost foure inches about where it is biggest.  The stemme or straw seemeth to be almost as bigge as the litle finger of a mans hand, or litle lesse.  The graines of this wheate are as big as our peason, round also, and very white, and somewhat shining, like pearles that haue lost their colour.  Almost all the substance of them turneth into floure, and maketh little bran or none.  I told in one eare two hundred and threescore graines.  The eare is inclosed in three blades longer than it selfe, and of two inches broad a piece.  And by this fruitfulnes the Sunne seemeth partly to recompence such griefes and molestations as they otherwise receiue by the feruent heate thereof.
