In the morning, as soon as we could see the trace, we proceeded on our journey, and had Followed. the track until we had compassed the head of a long creek; East Harbor Creek, Truro. and there they took into another wood, and we after them, supposing to find some of their dwellings. But we marched through boughs and bushes, and under hills and valleys, which tore our very armor in pieces, and yet could meet with none of thend a fine great new basket, full of very fair corn of this year, with some six and thirty goodly ears of corn, some yellow, and some red, and others mixed with blue, which was a very goodly sight. This corn of three colors is still common at Truro.—young. The basket was round, and narrow at the top. It held about three or four bushels, which was as much as two of us could lift up from the ground, and was very handsomely and cunningly made. But, whilst we were busy about all these things,

The carpenter made slow work, so that sixteen or seventeen weary days elapsed, before it was ready for service. But Standish and Bradford, and others, impatient of the delay, determined to explore the country by land. In regard to the danger, the expedition was rather permitted than approved. Much hardship was endured; but what discoveries could be made in Truro and near the banks of Paomet Creek? The first expedition in the shallop was likewise unsuccessful; some of the people, that died that winter, took the original of their death in the enterprise; for it snowed and did blow all the day and night, and froze withal. The men who were set on shore, were tired with marching up and down the steep hills and deep vallies, which lay half a foot thick with snow. A heap of maize was discovered; and further search led to a burial-place of the Indians; b

In the discourse occasioned by the death of Benjamin Rich, Esq., delivered in the church on Church Green, June 8, 1851, by Alexander Young, D. D., he refers to him as an example of the good parishioner:— The late Benjamin Rich was born on the 12th of December, 1775, in the town of Truro, near the extremity of Cape Cod. From his earliest years, as is the case with most of the youths who are born on the Cape, he took to the sea, going cabin boy at the age of thirteen; and at the age of nineteen, on his fourth voyage, he had the command of a vessel. His voyages were chiefly to the West Indies, the Mediterranean, and the north of Europe. For twelve long years he pursued this hard and perilous vocation. On one of his voyages, he was attacked, off Algiers, by two
