I
had
no
sooner
said
so
,
but
I
perceived
the
creature
(
(
whatever
it
was
)
)
within
two
oars
'
length
;
which
something
surprised
me
;
however
,
I
immediately
stepped
to
the
cabin-door
,
and
taking
up
my
gun
,
fired
at
him
,
upon
which
he
immediately
turned
about
,
and
swam
towards
the
shore
again
.
72
But
it
is
impossible
to
describe
the
horrid
noises
,
and
hideous
cries
and
howlings
that
were
raised
,
as
well
upon
the
edge
of
the
shore
as
higher
within
the
country
,
upon
the
noise
or
report
of
the
gun
,
a
thing
I
have
some
reason
to
believe
those
creatures
had
never
heard
before
:
this
convinced
me
that
there
was
no
going
on
shore
for
us
in
the
night
on
that
coast
,
and
how
to
venture
on
shore
in
the
day
was
another
question
too
;
for
to
have
fallen
into
the
hands
of
any
of
the
savages
had
been
as
bad
as
to
have
fallen
into
the
hands
of
the
lions
and
tigers
;
at
least
we
were
equally
apprehensive
of
the
danger
of
it
.
73
Be
that
as
it
would
,
we
were
obliged
to
go
on
shore
somewhere
or
other
for
water
,
for
we
had
not
a
pint
left
in
the
boat
;
when
and
where
to
get
to
it
was
the
point
.
Xury
said
,
if
I
would
let
him
go
on
shore
with
one
of
the
jars
,
he
would
find
if
there
was
any
water
,
and
bring
some
to
me
.
I
asked
him
why
he
would
go
?
why
I
should
not
go
,
and
he
stay
in
the
boat
?
The
boy
answered
with
so
much
affection
as
made
me
love
him
ever
after
.
Says
he
,
'
If
wild
mans
come
,
they
eat
me
,
you
go
wey
.
'
'
'
Well
,
Xury
,
'
said
I
,
'
'
we
will
both
go
and
if
the
wild
mans
come
,
we
will
kill
them
,
they
shall
eat
neither
of
us
.
'
So
I
gave
Xury
a
piece
of
rusk
bread
to
eat
,
and
a
dram
out
of
our
patron
's
case
of
bottles
which
I
mentioned
before
;
and
we
hauled
the
boat
in
as
near
the
shore
as
we
thought
was
proper
,
and
so
waded
on
shore
,
carrying
nothing
but
our
arms
and
two
jars
for
water
.

I
did
not
care
to
go
out
of
sight
of
the
boat
,
fearing
the
coming
of
canoes
with
savages
down
the
river
;
but
the
boy
seeing
a
low
place
about
a
mile
up
the
country
,
rambled
to
it
,
and
by-and-by
I
saw
him
come
running
towards
me
.
I
thought
he
was
pursued
by
some
savage
,
or
frighted
with
some
wild
beast
,
and
I
ran
forward
towards
him
to
help
him
;
75
but
when
I
came
nearer
to
him
I
saw
something
hanging
over
his
shoulders
,
which
was
a
creature
that
he
had
shot
,
like
a
hare
,
but
different
in
colour
,
and
longer
legs
;
however
,
we
were
very
glad
of
it
,
and
it
was
very
good
meat
;
but
the
great
joy
that
poor
Xury
came
with
,
was
to
tell
me
he
had
found
good
water
and
seen
no
wild
mans
.
76
But
we
found
afterwards
that
we
need
not
take
such
pains
for
water
,
for
a
little
higher
up
the
creek
where
we
were
we
found
the
water
fresh
when
the
tide
was
out
,
which
flowed
but
a
little
way
up
;
so
we
filled
our
jars
,
and
feasted
on
the
hare
he
had
killed
,
and
prepared
to
go
on
our
way
,
having
seen
no
footsteps
of
any
human
creature
in
that
part
of
the
country
.
77
As
I
had
been
one
voyage
to
this
coast
before
,
I
knew
very
well
that
the
islands
of
the
Canaries
,
and
the
Cape
de
Verde
Islands
also
,
lay
not
far
off
from
the
coast
.
But
as
I
had
no
instruments
to
take
an
observation
to
know
what
latitude
we
were
in
,
and
not
exactly
knowing
,
or
at
least
remembering
,
what
latitude
they
were
in
,
I
knew
not
where
to
look
for
them
,
or
when
to
stand
off
to
sea
towards
them
;
otherwise
I
might
now
easily
have
found
some
of
these
islands
.
But
my
hope
was
,
that
if
I
stood
along
this
coast
till
I
came
to
that
part
where
the
English
traded
,
I
should
find
some
of
their
vessels
upon
their
usual
design
of
trade
,
that
would
relieve
and
take
us
in
.

By
the
best
of
my
calculation
,
that
place
where
I
now
was
must
be
that
country
which
,
lying
between
the
Emperor
of
Morocco
's
dominions
and
the
negroes
,
lies
waste
and
uninhabited
,
except
by
wild
beasts
;
the
negroes
having
abandoned
it
and
gone
farther
south
for
fear
of
the
Moors
,
and
the
Moors
not
thinking
it
worth
inhabiting
by
reason
of
its
barrenness
;
and
indeed
,
both
forsaking
it
because
of
the
prodigious
number
of
tigers
,
lions
,
leopards
,
and
other
furious
creatures
which
harbour
there
;
79
so
that
the
Moors
use
it
for
their
hunting
only
,
where
they
go
like
an
army
,
two
or
three
thousand
men
at
a
time
;
and
indeed
for
near
a
hundred
miles
together
upon
this
coast
we
saw
nothing
but
a
waste
,
uninhabited
country
by
day
,
and
heard
nothing
but
howlings
and
roaring
of
wild
beasts
by
night
.
80
Once
or
twice
in
the
daytime
I
thought
I
saw
the
Pico
of
Teneriffe
,
being
the
high
top
of
the
Mountain
Teneriffe
in
the
Canaries
,
and
had
a
great
mind
to
venture
out
,
in
hopes
of
reaching
thither
;
but
having
tried
twice
,
I
was
forced
in
again
by
contrary
winds
,
the
sea
also
going
too
high
for
my
little
vessel
;
so
,
I
resolved
to
pursue
my
first
design
,
and
keep
along
the
shore
.
