On the west side of the bay, we said were five faire and delightfull navigable rivers, of which we will now proceede to report. The first of these rivers, and the next to the mouthe of the bay, hath his course from the west and by north. The name of this river we call the King's River; they call Powhatan, according to the name of a principall country that lyeth upon the head of yt; the mouthe of this river is neere three myles in breadth, yet doe the shoells force the channell so neere the land, that a sacre will overshoot yt at point blanck. This river hath a channell, for a hundred and forty miles, of depth betwixt seven and fifteen fathome, holding in breadth, for the most parte, two or three miles; and in which are many isles, both great and small. Yt falleth from rocks far west, in a country inhabited by a nation, as aforesaid, that they call Monacan; but where yt cometh into our discovery, yt is Powhatan. In the furthest place that hath been diligently observed, are falls, rocks, showlds, etc., which makes yt past navigation any higher; albeit, forty miles above the said falls, yt hath two branches, or other rivers, that fall into yt: the head of the northermost comes from certaine steepe mountaines, that are said to be impassable; the head of the other comes from high hills afar of, within the land, from the topps of which hills, the people saie they see another sea, and that the water.
