[ A River of Gold. ]
These Gagas told us of a river that is to the southward of the Bay of Vaccas,93 that hath great store of gold: and that they gathered up great store of grains of gold upon the sand, which the fresh water driveth down in the time of rain. We found some of this gold in the handles of their hatchets, which they use to engrave with copper; and they called it copper also, and do not esteem it.
