On the land round this port, I foundcertain trees which in their trunk and bark resembled cork-trees, butvery different in all other respects. Their leaves were very large, wonderfully thick, and of a deep green, crossed with large veins. Theywere then in flower, and their flowers in the bud resembled the flowersof the mallow when in that state: But such as were opened were white, and like the white cockle. On cutting a bough or leaf there run out agreat stream of milk, as from the dug of a goa...t. On all this coast I sawno other trees, except a grove a little beyond Massua, in some marshyground near the sea. Besides these trees, there are some valleys inlandproducing a few capers, the leaves of which are eaten by the Moors, _whosay they be appropriate to the joynts_. On the 4th of April, fromsunrise till eleven o'clock, the wind blew a storm from the N. W. Afterwhich there was much and loud thunder, accompanied with hail, the stonesbeing the largest I ever saw. With the thunder the wind veered about toevery point of the compass, and at last it settled in the north.
