where I was ſtranded, and forced to ſtay there more than a full

hour, in expecting the return of the tide: and there waiting in
<

this manner, without being able to get out of the boat, which on a

ſeemed very ſtrange; and it was this, that in the waters ebbing

I ſaw it retreat very faſt by ſeveral ſmall rivolets, the ouze being

in many places diſcovered, and whilſt I ſtood looking upon this

fect, I ſaw this motion in an inſtant to ceaſe, and without a

nutes interval the ſame water to begin to return back again, and
<
lb

the tide from ebbing to become young flood, without ſtanding
