Indians previous to the discovery by Gosnold jve,
know not. Perhaps, when the Romans were
extending their conquests to the Britanic tsles,
or even while the Egyptians, renowned in arts.
were building their pyramids, the aborigines of
Kjuiiiia. s iui.-jani were constructing meir wig

of Indian desendants may be reckoned at about
three hundred, vii : About 150 at Gay. Head,;

The African race' is so intermingled that very
few, even of half-blooded Indians, are to be
found. As a people they are orderly, temper
ate, intelligent, nd religious ; have places .of
worship, and live comfortably in their habita
tions. Many of them are employed in the whale
fishery, and are of high repute In that service.
