n6 CURIOUS CREATURES.
unexpected accident. For Histories of the Provincials
mention, that it hapned, that one was thus freed from
a Pirate that was like to set upon him ; for the Pirate
coming on, was frighted at it, when he saw afar off,
men, as he supposed, going up and down the Ropes,
from the Top Mast, as the manner is to defend the
Ship. Whereas they were but young Bears, playing
on the Ropes. But the most pleasant sight of all is,
that when the Bears look out of the Ship into the
Waters, a great number of Sea Calves will come and
gaze upon them, that you would think an innumerable
Company of Hogs swam about the Ship, and they are
caught by the Sea men with long Spears, with Hooks,
and a Cord tyed to them ; and so are also the other
Beasts, that come to help the Sea Calves, taken, and
crying like to Hogs. Also the Bears are let down to
swim, that they may catch these wandering Sea-Calves,
or else, when it thunders, and the weather is tempes-

tuous, they be taken above Water.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
