NOTE _l_.--"We brought home also two of the savages, being lusty men, whose names were Wan-ches-e and Man-te-o."--_First voyage by Amadas and Barlowe._
NOTE _m_.--All authorities agree in the statement that the favorite time among the Indians for an attack on an enemy was at, or about, daybreak.
NOTE _n_.--"Into this river falls another great river called Cipo in which there is found great store of mussels in which there are pearls."--_Voyage of Amadas and Barlowe._
"In her ears she had bracelets of pearls, hanging down to her middle, and these were of the bigness of good pease."--_Voyage of Amadas and Barlowe._
"Sometimes feeding on mussels, we found some pearle, but it was our hap to meet with ragges, or of a pied colour; not having yet discovered those places where we heard of better and more plenty."--_Harriot's Report._
NOTE _o_.--"The manner of making their boats in Virginia is very wonderful. For whereas they want instruments of iron or others like unto ours, yet they know how to make them as handsomely, to sail with where they list in their rivers, and to fish withal, as ours. First they choose some long and thick tree, according to the bigness of the boat which they would frame, and make a fire on the ground about the roots thereof, kindling the same by little and little with dry moss of trees, and chips of wood that the flame should not mount up too high, and burn too much of the length of the tree. When it is almost burnt through, and ready to fall they make a new fire which they suffer to burn until the tree falls of its own accord. Then burning off the top and boughs of the tree in such wise that the body of the same may retain his just length, they raise it upon poles laid over cross wise upon forked posts at such a reasonable height as they may handsomely work upon it. Then take they off the bark with certain shells; they reserve the innermost part of the bark for the nethermost part of the boat. On the other side they make a fire according to the length of the body of the tree saving at both the ends. That which they think is sufficiently burned, they quench and scrape away with shells, and making a new fire they burn it again and so they continue, sometimes burning and sometimes scraping until the boat have sufficient bottoms."--_Harriot's Report._
