And after he knew that I had been in Guiana�察�and so far directly west as 

Caroli�察�the first question he asked me was�察�whether I had seen any of the 

Ewaipanoma�察�which are those without heads。 Who being esteemed a most 

honest man of his word�察�and in all things else�察�told me that he had seen 

many      of   them�察   �I  may    not    name    him�察   �because     it  may    be   for   his 

disadvantage�察      �but  he   is  well   known     to  Monsieur      Moucheron's      son   of 

London�察�and to Peter Moucheron�察�merchant�察�of the Flemish ship that was 

there in trade�察�who also heard�察�what he avowed to be true�察�of those people。 

     The fourth river to the west of Caroli is Casnero�此�which falleth into the 

Orenoque on this side of Amapaia。 And that river is greater than Danubius�察�

or   any   of   Europe�此  �it   riseth   on   the   south   of   Guiana   from   the   mountains 

which divide Guiana from Amazons�察�and I think it to be navigable many 

hundred   miles。   But   we   had   no   time�察  �means�察  �nor   season   of   the   year�察  �to 

search those rivers�察�for the causes aforesaid�察�the winter being come upon 

us�察�although the winter and summer as touching cold and heat differ not�察�

neither do the trees ever sensibly lose their leaves�察�but have always fruit 

either   ripe   or green�察  �and   most   of   them  both   blossoms�察 �leaves�察  �ripe   fruit�察�

and green�察 �at one  time�此�but   their winter only consisteth   of terrible   rains�察�

and overflowing of the rivers�察�with many great storms and gusts�察�thunder 

and lightnings�察�of which we had our fill ere we returned。 

     On the north side�察�the first river that falleth into the Orenoque is Cari。 

Beyond it�察�on the same side is the river of Limo。 Between these two is a 

great   nation   of   Cannibals�察  �and   their   chief   town   beareth   the   name   of   the 



                                                61

river�察  �and   is   called   Acamacari。   At   this   town    is   a  continual   market    of 

women for three or four hatchets apiece�察�they are bought by the Arwacas�察�

and by them sold into the West Indies。 To the west of Limo is the river Pao�察�

beyond it Caturi�察�beyond that Voari�察�and Capuri ��the Apure river���察�which 

falleth   out   of   the   great   river   of   Meta�察  �by   which   Berreo   descended   from 

Nuevo Reyno de Granada。 To the westward of Capuri is the province of 

Amapaia�察�where Berreo wintered and had so many of his people poisoned 

with   the   tawny   water   of   the   marshes   of   the   Anebas。   Above   Amapaia�察�

toward   Nuevo   Reyno�察  �fall   in   Meto�察  �Pato   and   Cassanar。   To   the   west   of 

those�察�towards the provinces of the Ashaguas and Catetios�察�are the rivers 

of   Beta�察  �Dawney�察  �and   Ubarro�察  �and   toward   the   frontier   of   Peru   are   the 

provinces   of   Thomebamba�察  �and   Caxamalca。   Adjoining   to   Quito   in   the 

north side of Peru are the rivers of Guiacar and Goauar�察�and on the other 

side of the said mountains the river of Papamene which descendeth into 

Maranon or Amazons�察�passing through the province Motilones�察�where Don 

Pedro   de   Orsua�察  �who   was   slain   by   the   traitor Aguirre   before   rehearsed�察�

built his brigandines�察�when he sought Guiana by the way of Amazons。 

     Between   Dawney   and   Beta   lieth   a   famous   island   in   Orenoque   ��now 

called Baraquan�察�for above Meta it is not known by the name of Orenoque�� 

which is called Athule ��cataract of Ature���察�beyond which ships of burden 

cannot pass by reason of a most forcible overfall�察�and current of water�察�but 

in the eddy all smaller vessels may be drawn even to Peru itself。 But to 

speak of more of these rivers without the description were but tedious�察�and 

therefore I will leave the rest to the description。 This river of Orenoque is 

navigable for ships little less than 1��000 miles�察�and for lesser vessels near 

2��000。     By   it�察 �as  aforesaid�察  �Peru�察  �Nuevo     Reyno     and   Popayan      may    be 

invaded�此�it also leadeth to the great empire of Inga�察�and to the provinces of 

Amapaia   and Anebas�察  �which   abound   in   gold。   His   branches   of   Casnero�察�

Manta�察     �Caura    descend     from    the  middle     land   and   valley    which    lieth 

between the easter province of Peru and Guiana�察�and it falls into the sea 

between   Maranon   and   Trinidad   in   two   degrees   and   a   half。 All   of   which 

your   honours   shall   better   perceive   in   the   general   description   of   Guiana�察�

Peru�察   �Nuevo      Reyno�察   �the   kingdom      of  Popayan�察     �and   Rodas�察   �with    the 

province of Venezuela�察�to the bay of Uraba�察�behind Cartagena�察�westward�察�

and to Amazons southward。 While we lay at anchor on the coast of Canuri�察�

and had taken knowledge of all the nations upon the head and branches of 

this river�察�and had found out so many several people�察�which were enemies 

to the Epuremei and the new conquerors�察�I thought it time lost to linger 

any  longer   in   that   place�察  �especially  for   that   the   fury  of   Orenoque   began 

daily to threaten us with dangers in our return。 For no half day passed but 

the   river   began   to   rage   and   overflow   very   fearfully�察  �and   the   rains   came 

down   in   terrible   showers�察  �and   gusts   in   great   abundance�察  �and   withal   our 

men began to cry out for want of shift�察�for no man had place to bestow any 

other apparel than that which he ware on his back�察�and that was throughly 

washed on his body for the most part ten times in one day�察�and we had 

now been well´ near a month every day passing to the westward farther 

and farther from our ships。 We therefore turned towards the east�察�and spent 

the rest of the time in discovering the river towards the sea�察�which we had 

not viewed�察�and which was most material。 

     The next day following we left the mouth of Caroli�察�and arrived again 

at   the   port   of   Morequito   where   we   were   before�察  �for   passing   down   the 

stream   we   went   without   labour�察  �and   against   the   wind�察  �little   less   than   a 

hundred miles a day。 As soon as I came to anchor�察�I sent away one for old 

Topiawari�察�with whom I much desired to have further conference�察�and also 

to deal with him for some one of his country to bring with us into England�察�

as   well   to   learn   the   language�察  �as   to   confer   withal   by   the   way�察  �the   time 

being   now   spent   of   any   longer   stay   there。   Within   three   hours   after   my 

messenger came to him�察�he arrived also�察�and with him such a rabble of all 

sorts of people�察�and every one loaden with somewhat�察�as if it had been a 

great market or fair in England�察�and our hungry companies clustered thick 

and threefold among their baskets�察�every one laying hand on what he liked。 

After he had rested awhile in my tent�察�I shut out all but ourselves and my 

interpreter�察  �and   told   him   that   I   knew   that   both   the   Epuremei   and   the 

Spaniards were enemies to him�察�his country and nations�此�that the one had 

conquered Guiana already�察�and the other sought to regain the same from 

them both�察�and therefore I desired him to instruct me what he could�察�both 

of the passage into the golden parts of Guiana�察�and to the civil towns and 

apparelled people of Inga。 He gave me an answer to this effect�此�first�察�that

he could not perceive that I meant to go onward towards the city of Manoa�察�

for   neither   the   time   of   the   year   served�察  �neither   could   he   perceive   any 

sufficient numbers for such an enterprise。 And if I did�察�I was sure with all 

my company to be buried the
