  Hal-lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o! To which there came up in answer a cry that sounded like-- Hi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i! Solomo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-on! He-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ey! Is that yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ou?

  The General Historie of Virginia, New England & the Summer Isles (Vol. I) Together with the True Travels, Adventures and Observations, and a Sea Grammar

He swore also certaine of the chiefe men of every tribe to bee Bailiffes thereof; and appointed as many men as hee was able for all supplied shares.
