On the Spanish Main Or, Some English forays on the Isthmus of Darien. With a Description of the Buccaneers and a Short Account of Old-Time Ships and Sailors not to leave |before he had built his Pinnaces,| and therefore, as soon as the ships were moored, he ordered the pieces to be brought ashore |for the Carpenters to set up.| The rest of the company was set to the building of a fort upon the beach by the cutting down of trees, |and haling them together with great Pullies and halsers.| The fort was built in the form of a pentagon, with a sort of sea-gate opening on the bay, for the easy launching of the pinnaces. This gate could be closed at night by the drawing of a log across the opening. They dug no trench, but cleared the ground instead, so that for twenty yards all round the stockhouse there was nothing to hinder a marksman or afford cover to an enemy. Beyond that twenty yards the forest closed in, with its wall of living greenery, with trees |of a marvellous height| tangled over with the brilliant blossoms of many creepers. The writer of the account seems to have been one of the building party that sweated the logs into position. |The wood of those trees, We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
