It is not easy for me to express how it mov'd me to see what Extasy and filial Affection had work'd in this poor Savage，at the Sight of his Father，and of his being deliver'd from Death；nor indeed can I describe half the Extravagancies of his Affection after this；for he went into the Boat and out of the Boat a great many times：When he went in to him，he would sit down by him，open his Breast，and hold his Father's Head close to his Bosom，half an Hour together，to nourish it；then he took his Arms and Ankles，which were numb'd and stiff with the Binding，and chaffed and rubbed them with his Hands；and I perceiving what the Case was，gave him some Rum out of my Bottle，to rub them with，which did them a great deal of Good.
This Action put an End to our Pursuit of the Canoe，with the other Savages，who were now gotten almost out of Sight；and it was happy for us that we did not；for it blew so hard within two Hours after，and before they could be gotten a Quarter of their Way，and continued blowing so hard all Night，and that from the North-west，which was against them，that I could not suppose their Boat could live，or that they ever reach'd to their own Coast.
But to return to Friday，he was so busy about his Father，that I could not find in my Heart to take him off for some time：But after I thought he could leave him a little，I call'd him to me，and he came jumping and laughing，and pleas'd to the highest Extream；then I ask'd him，If he had given his Father any Bread？ He shook his Head，and said，None：Ugly Dog eat all up self；so I gave him a Cake of Bread out of a little Pouch I carry'd on Purpose；I also gave him a Dram for himself，but he would not taste it，but carry'd it to his Father：I had in my Pocket also two or three Bunches of my Raisins，so I gave him a Handful of them for his Father. He had no sooner given his Father these Raisins，but I saw him come out of the Boat，and run away，as if he had been bewitch'd，he run at such a Rate；for he was the swiftest Fellow of his Foot that ever I saw；I say，he run at such a Rate，that he was out of Sight，as it were，in an instant；and though I call'd，and hollow'd too，after him，it was all one，away he went，and in a Quarter of an Hour，I saw him come back again，though not so fast as he went；and as he came nearer，I found his Pace was slacker，because he had some thing in his Hand.
When he came up to me，I found he had been quite Home for an Earthen Jugg or Pot to bring his Father some fresh Water，and that he had got two more Cakes，or Loaves of Bread：The Bread he gave me，but the Water he carry'd to his Father：However，as I was very thirsty too，I took a little Sup of it. This Water reviv'd his Father more than all the Rum or Spirits I had given him；for he was just fainting with Thirst.
When his Father had drank，I call'd to him to know if there was any Water left；he said，yes；and I bad him give it to the poor Spaniard，who was in as much Want of it as his Father；and I sent one of the Cakes，that Friday brought，to the Spaniard too，who was indeed very weak，and was reposing himself upon a green Place under the Shade of a free；and whose Limbs were also very stiff，and very much swell'd with the rude Bandage he had been ty'd with. When I saw that upon Friday's coming to him with the Water，he sat up and drank，and took the Bread，and began to eat，I went to him，and gave him a Handful of Raisins；he look'd up in my Face with all the Tokens of Gratitude and Thankfulness，that could appear in any Countenance；but was so weak，notwithstanding he had so exerted himself in the Fight，that he could not stand up upon his Feet；he try'd to do it two or three times，but was really not able，his Ankles were so swell'd and so painful to him；so I bad him sit still，and caused Friday to rub his Ankles，and bathe them with Rum，as he had done his Father's.
I observ'd the poor affectionate Creature every two Minutes，or perhaps less，all the while he was here，turn'd his Head about，to see if his Father was in the same Place，and Posture，as he left him sitting；and at last he found he was not to be seen；at which he started up，and without speaking a Word，flew with that Swiftness to him，that one could scarce perceive his Feet to touch the Ground，as he went：But when he came，he only found he had laid himself down to ease his Limbs；so Friday came back to me presently，and I then spoke to the Spaniard to let Friday help him up if he could，and lead him to the Boat，and then he should carry him to our Dwelling，where I would take Care of him：But Friday，a lusty strong Fellow，took the Spaniard quite up upon his Back，and carry'd him away to the Boat，and set him down softly upon the Side or Gunnel of the Canoe，with his Feet in the inside of it，and then lifted him quite in，and set him close to his Father，and presently stepping out again，launched the Boat off，and paddled it along the Shore faster than I could walk，tho' the Wind blew pretty hard too；so he brought them both safe into our Creek；and leaving them in the Boat，runs away to fetch the other Canoe. As he pass'd me，I spoke to him，and ask'd him，whither he went，he told me，Go fetch more Boat；so away he went like the Wind；for sure never Man or Horse run like him，and he had the other Canoe in the Creek，almost as soon as I got to it by Land；so he wafted me over，and then went to help our new Guests out of the Boat，which he did；but they were neither of them able to walk；so that poor Friday knew not what to do.
