and vice. Their recreations without doors are
walking, gardening, riding, andbathiiig; within
doors they have tools and accommodations for the

business. These they are taught to consider as
pleasing and healthful recreations, both for the

All its inhabitants are either agriculturists or fisher-

called Colan, as well as the settlement ; and though
distinct from Cachimayu, it is not so from Cata-
mayu, as is erroneously stated by Mr. La Marti-
niere. [Here they make large rafts of logs, which
will carry 60 or 70 tons of goods ; with these they
make long voyages, even to Panama, 5 or 600
leagues distant, 'fhey have a mast with a sail
fastened to it. They always go before the wind,
being unable to ply against it ; and therefore only
fit for these seas, where the wind is always in a
manner the same, not varying above a point or two
all the way from Lima, till they come into the bay
of Panama ; and there they must sometimes w'ait
for a change. Their cargo is usually wine, oil,
sugar, Quito cloth, soap, and dressed goat-skins.
The float is usually navigated by three or four men,
who sell their float where they dispose of their
cargo ; and return as passengers to the port they
came from. The Indians go out at night by the
help of the land-wind with fishing floats, more
manageable than the others, though these have
masts and sails too, and return again in the dav
time with the sea-wind.] Lat. 4° 56' s.
