Madagascar Lore Of Gold Mines And Mythic Beasts
The passage describes natives calling sea creatures tues near ships and a tempest caused by their tails, likening monstrous forms to leviathans. It discusses Madagascar as a land of small kingdoms, gold and silver mines, metallined cattle teeth, and mining rumors. It cites Boerhove and Milton on gold, mentions mineral springs near Tentrock, and notes European interest in Madagascar’s riches and potential French colonization.
