. . For the purpose of crossing over it, which is farmed out by the year, and yields a good income, as it is a considerable thorough fare, this island being one of the most popu lous places in this vicinity. " The ferry at this time was patronized by both white men and Indians, though the Indi ans usually economized by using their own boats in carrying to New York their fish, fowl, or furs. The fare on the ferry was " three stuivers in zeewan for each person. " A " stui- ver in zeewan " was equ...ivalent to less than half a cent of our money. Going up the hill from the ferry the travel ers passed through the "first village called UNDER ENGLISH RULE \ 2 1 Breuckelen, " in which they saw " a small and ugly little church standing in the middle of the road. " Here they turned off to the right and reached Gowanus, where they were enter tained by Simon Aertsen De Hart. After speaking of the large and remarkable oysters, " fully as good as those in England, and better than those we eat at Falmouth, " the travel ers give this description of the Dutch dinner: " We had for supper a roasted haunch of ven ison, which he had bought of the Indians for three guilders and a half of seewant, that is, fifteen stuivers of Dutch money [fifteen cents], and which weighed thirty pounds.
