At the Floridas I did not have such good fortune as on the last voyage. Missionary influence was too much for me. At Saaranna a party of old men and chiefs threatened to attack the boats if they did not leave the beach. Several of the younger men were watching for an opportunity to escape from home. Once, when a recruit had been obtained and passed into the covering MANDOLIANNA ISLAND. 245 boat, which lay off in deep water, where his friends could not reach him, a rush was made at the recruiter.... He only escaped by quickly shoving his boat off, abandoning his steering-oar, which had been seized by the natives, in the effort to haul the boat up on the beach. A quantity of calico and other " trade " was carried off by the natives at the same time. Having got the boy who had been recruited safely on board the Stanley, the recruiter went back to the village and succeeded in recovering his steering-oar without payment. The stolen calico and other articles were MANDOLIANNA I. never seen again by us.
