The dawn, as it spread over the sky,

in the hollows afforded a. half glimpse into

• could be discovered a few scattered huts, I
which, ,with, their outlines and roofs of t
dry leaves, looked like beehives, and thin I
columns of blue smoke arose above the
I tops of the trees. • Half naked groups of '
men, women and' children; more afitanish
ed than frightened, appeared amongst the
thickets near the shore, advancing. timid
ly, and then drawing back, exhibiting by
their gestures and demeanor, as much fear as I
curiosity and wonder, at these strange ves- 1

to:their shores. Golumbsts, after gazing I

the GoVeitor's name, called the mountain
next in height Mount Alexander.
For this expedition they were obliged
to provide a great quantity of horse sheep,
things seldom used in the lower parte of
Ithe country, where there are few stones ;
upon which account the governor, upon
their return, presented earh of his com-
I panions with a golden horseshoe, some of
