Proposals made to all such Persons as shall undertake to become the first Setlers on Rivers , Harbours , or Creeks , whose Mouth or Entrance is Southwards or Westwards of Cape St. Romana in the Province of Carolina , and execute the same at their own hazard and charge of Transportation , Ammunition , and Provision , as is hereafter expressed , &c.
