At our comming backe againe to the place where their tents were before, they had remooued their tents further into the said Bay or Sound, where they might if they were driuen from the land, flee with their boates into the sea.  We parting our selues into two companies, and compassing a mountaine came suddenly vpon them by land, who espying vs, without any tarrying fled to their boates, leauing the most part of their oares behind them for haste, and rowed downe the bay, where our two Pinesses met them and droue them to shore:  but if they had had all their oares, so swift are they in rowing, it had bene lost time to haue chased them.

[Sidenote:  A fierce assault of a few.] When they were landed they fiercely assaulted our men with their bowes and arrowes, who wounded three of them with our arrowes; and perceiuing themselues thus hurt, they desperatly leapt off the Rocks into the Sea, and drowned themselues:  which if they had not done, but had submitted themselues, or if by any meanes we could haue taken them aliue (being their enemies as they iudged) we would both haue saued them, and also haue sought remedy to cure their wounds receiued at our hands.  But they altogether voyd of humanity, and ignorant what mercy meaneth, in extremities looke for no other then death:  and perceiuing they should fall into our hands, thus miserably by drowning rather desired death then otherwise to be saued by vs:  the rest perceiuing their fellowes in this distresse, fled into the high mountaines.  Two women not being so apt to escape as the men were, the one for her age, and the other being incombred with a yong child, we tooke.  The old wretch, whom diuers of our Saylers supposed to be eyther a deuill, or a witch, had her buskins plucked off, to see if she were clouen footed, and for her ougly hew and deformity we let her go:  the yong woman and the child we brought away.  We named the place where they were slaine, Bloodie point:  and the Bay or Harborough, Yorks sound, after the name of one of the Captaines of the two Barks.

[Sidenote:  Faire meanes not able to allure them to familiarity.] Having this knowledge both of their fiercenesse and cruelty, and perceiuing that faire meanes as yet is not able to allure them to familiarity, we disposed our selues, contrary to our inclination, something to be cruel, returned to their tents and made a spoyle of the same:  where we found an old shirt, a doublet, a girdle, and also shoes of our men, whom we lost the yeere before:  on nothing else vnto them belonging could we set our eyes.

[Sidenote:  Boates of skinnes.] Their riches are not gold, siluer or precious Drapery, but their tents and boates, made of the skins of red Deare and Seale skins; also dogges like vnto woolues, but for the most part black, with other trifles, more to be wondred at for their strangenesse, then for any other commoditie needefull for our vse.

[Sidenote:  Our departure from the West shoare.] Thus returning to our ship the 3.  August, we departed from the West shore supposed firme with America, after we had ankered there 13. dayes:  and so the 4. thereof we came to our Generall on the East shore and ankered in a faire Harborough name Anne Warwickes sound, vnto which is annexed an Island both named after the Countesse of Warwicke, Anne Warwickes sound and Isle.
