Some material Things omitted in the fore∣going
part.
IT is to be noted, that the Tide runs to the Falls of Dela∣vvare,
it being one hundred and fifty Miles from the
Capes, or entrance of the said River (which Falls, is a ledge
of Rocks lying a cross the River) and also it runs up in some
of the Cricks, ten or fifteen Miles, the said River and Cricks,
being navigable for Ships of great Burthen, there having
lain over against Burlington, a Ship of about the burthen of
four hundred Tims afloat in four Fathom, at dead low
Water, and the Flood riseth six or eight Foot; and there be∣ing
no Worm that eats the bottoms of the Ships, as is usually
done in Virginia and Barbadoes, &c. which renders the said
Countries very fit for Trade and Navigation: And in the said
River and Cricks are many other sorts of good Fish, not
already named, some of which are Cat-fish, Trout; Eales,
Pearch, &c.
