I found that the sparrow uttered none but harsh notes, whilst those of the blackbird and thrush were sweet and enticing.

When this was done I went down the ship's side, and pulling them to me, I tied four of them together at both ends as well as I could, in the form of a raft, and laying two or three short pieces of plank upon them crossways, I found I could walk upon it very well, but that it was not able to bear any great weight, the pieces being too light.
