Several
times
I
was
obliged
to
land
for
fresh
water
,
after
we
had
left
this
place
;
and
once
in
particular
,
being
early
in
morning
,
we
came
to
an
anchor
under
a
little
point
of
land
,
which
was
pretty
high
;
and
the
tide
beginning
to
flow
,
we
lay
still
to
go
farther
in
.
Xury
,
whose
eyes
were
more
about
him
than
it
seems
mine
were
,
calls
softly
to
me
,
and
tells
me
that
we
had
best
go
farther
off
the
shore
;
'
'
For
,
'
says
he
,
'
'
look
,
yonder
lies
a
dreadful
monster
on
the
side
of
that
hillock
,
fast
asleep
.
'
I
looked
where
he
pointed
,
and
saw
a
dreadful
monster
indeed
,
for
it
was
a
terrible
,
great
lion
that
lay
on
the
side
of
the
shore
,
under
the
shade
of
a
piece
of
the
hill
that
hung
as
it
were
a
little
over
him
.
'
'
Xury
,
'
says
I
,
'
'
you
shall
on
shore
and
kill
him
.
'
Xury
,
looked
frighted
,
and
said
,
'
'
Me
kill
!
he
eat
me
at
one
mouth
!
'
-
one
mouthful
he
meant
.
However
,
I
said
no
more
to
the
boy
,
but
bade
him
lie
still
,
and
I
took
our
biggest
gun
,
which
was
almost
musket-bore
,
and
loaded
it
with
a
good
charge
of
powder
,
and
with
two
slugs
,
and
laid
it
down
;
then
I
loaded
another
gun
with
two
bullets
;
and
the
third
(
(
for
we
had
three
pieces
)
)
I
loaded
with
five
smaller
bullets
.
82
I
took
the
best
aim
I
could
with
the
first
piece
to
have
shot
him
in
the
head
,
but
he
lay
so
with
his
leg
raised
a
little
above
his
nose
,
that
the
slugs
hit
his
leg
about
the
knee
and
broke
the
bone
.
83
He
started
up
,
growling
at
first
,
but
finding
his
leg
broken
,
fell
down
again
;
and
then
got
upon
three
legs
,
and
gave
the
most
hideous
roar
that
ever
I
heard
.
I
was
a
little
surprised
that
I
had
not
hit
him
on
the
head
;
however
,
I
took
up
the
second
piece
immediately
,
and
though
he
began
to
move
off
,
fired
again
,
and
shot
him
in
the
head
,
and
had
the
pleasure
to
see
him
drop
and
make
but
little
noise
,
but
lie
struggling
for
life
.
Then
Xury
took
heart
,
and
would
have
me
let
him
go
on
shore
.
'
'
Well
,
go
,
'
said
I
:
so
the
boy
jumped
into
the
water
and
taking
a
little
gun
in
one
hand
,
swam
to
shore
with
the
other
hand
,
and
coming
close
to
the
creature
,
put
the
muzzle
of
the
piece
to
his
ear
,
and
shot
him
in
the
head
again
,
which
despatched
him
quite
.

This
was
game
indeed
to
us
,
but
this
was
no
food
;
and
I
was
very
sorry
to
lose
three
charges
of
powder
and
shot
upon
a
creature
that
was
good
for
nothing
to
us
.
However
,
Xury
said
he
would
have
some
of
him
;
so
he
comes
on
board
,
and
asked
me
to
give
him
the
hatchet
.
'
For
what
,
Xury
?
'
said
I.
'
Me
cut
off
his
head
,
'
said
he
.
However
,
Xury
could
not
cut
off
his
head
,
but
he
cut
off
a
foot
,
and
brought
it
with
him
,
and
it
was
a
monstrous
great
one
.
85
I
bethought
myself
,
however
,
that
,
perhaps
the
skin
of
him
might
,
one
way
or
other
,
be
of
some
value
to
us
;
and
I
resolved
to
take
off
his
skin
if
I
could
.
So
Xury
and
I
went
to
work
with
him
;
but
Xury
was
much
the
better
workman
at
it
,
for
I
knew
very
ill
how
to
do
it
.
Indeed
,
it
took
us
both
up
the
whole
day
,
but
at
last
we
got
off
the
hide
of
him
,
and
spreading
it
on
the
top
of
our
cabin
,
the
sun
effectually
dried
it
in
two
days
'
time
,
and
it
afterwards
served
me
to
lie
upon
.
86
After
this
stop
,
we
made
on
to
the
southward
continually
for
ten
or
twelve
days
,
living
very
sparingly
on
our
provisions
,
which
began
to
abate
very
much
,
and
going
no
oftener
to
the
shore
than
we
were
obliged
to
for
fresh
water
.
My
design
in
this
was
to
make
the
river
Gambia
or
Senegal
,
that
is
to
say
anywhere
about
the
Cape
de
Verde
,
where
I
was
in
hopes
to
meet
with
some
European
ship
;
and
if
I
did
not
,
I
knew
not
what
course
I
had
to
take
,
but
to
seek
for
the
islands
,
or
perish
there
among
the
negroes
.
I
knew
that
all
the
ships
from
Europe
,
which
sailed
either
to
the
coast
of
Guinea
or
to
Brazil
,
or
to
the
East
Indies
,
made
this
cape
,
or
those
islands
;
and
,
in
a
word
,
I
put
the
whole
of
my
fortune
upon
this
single
point
,
either
that
I
must
meet
with
some
ship
or
must
perish
.
87
When
I
had
pursued
this
resolution
about
ten
days
longer
,
as
I
have
said
,
I
began
to
see
that
the
land
was
inhabited
;
and
in
two
or
three
places
,
as
we
sailed
by
,
we
saw
people
stand
upon
the
shore
to
look
at
us
;
we
could
also
perceive
they
were
quite
black
and
naked
.
I
was
once
inclined
to
have
gone
on
shore
to
them
;
but
Xury
was
my
better
counsellor
,
and
said
to
me
,
'
'
No
go
,
no
go
.
'
However
,
I
hauled
in
nearer
the
shore
that
I
might
talk
to
them
,
and
I
found
they
ran
along
the
shore
by
me
a
good
way
.
I
observed
they
had
no
weapons
in
their
hand
,
except
one
,
who
had
a
long
slender
stick
,
which
Xury
said
was
a
lance
,
and
that
they
could
throw
them
a
great
way
with
good
aim
;
so
I
kept
at
a
distance
,
but
talked
with
them
by
signs
as
well
as
I
could
;
and
particularly
made
signs
for
something
to
eat
:
they
beckoned
to
me
to
stop
my
boat
,
and
they
would
fetch
me
some
meat
.
Upon
this
I
lowered
the
top
of
my
sail
and
lay
by
,
and
two
of
them
ran
up
into
the
country
,
and
in
less
than
half-an
-
hour
came
back
,
and
brought
with
them
two
pieces
of
dried
flesh
and
some
corn
,
such
as
is
the
produce
of
their
country
;

but
we
neither
knew
what
the
one
or
the
other
was
.
However
,
we
were
willing
to
accept
it
,
but
how
to
come
at
it
was
our
next
dispute
,
for
I
was
not
for
venturing
on
shore
to
them
,
and
they
were
as
much
afraid
to
us
;
but
they
took
a
safe
way
for
us
all
,
for
they
brought
it
to
the
shore
and
laid
it
down
,
and
went
and
stood
a
great
way
off
till
we
fetched
it
on
board
,
and
then
came
close
to
us
again
.
89
We
made
signs
of
thanks
to
them
,
for
we
had
nothing
to
make
them
amends
.
But
an
opportunity
offered
that
very
instant
to
oblige
them
wonderfully
;
for
while
we
were
lying
by
the
shore
came
two
mighty
creatures
,
one
pursuing
the
other
(
(
as
we
took
it
)
)
with
great
fury
from
the
mountains
towards
the
sea
;
whether
it
was
the
male
pursuing
the
female
,
or
whether
they
were
in
sport
or
in
rage
,
we
could
not
tell
,
any
more
than
we
could
tell
whether
it
was
usual
or
strange
,
but
I
believe
it
was
the
latter
;
because
in
the
first
place
,
those
ravenous
creatures
seldom
appear
but
in
the
night
;
and
in
the
second
place
,
we
found
the
people
terribly
frightened
,
especially
the
women
.
The
man
that
had
the
lance
or
dart
did
not
fly
from
them
,
but
the
rest
did
;
however
,
as
the
two
creatures
ran
directly
into
the
water
,
they
did
not
seem
to
offer
to
fall
upon
any
of
the
negroes
,
but
plunged
themselves
into
the
sea
,
and
swam
about
,
as
if
they
had
come
for
their
diversion
.
At
last
,
one
of
them
began
to
come
nearer
our
boat
than
at
first
I
expected
;
but
I
lay
ready
for
him
,
for
I
had
loaded
my
gun
with
all
possible
expedition
,
and
bade
Xury
load
both
the
others
.
As
soon
as
he
came
fairly
within
my
reach
,
I
fired
,
and
shot
him
directly
into
the
head
;
immediately
he
sunk
down
into
the
water
,
but
rose
instantly
,
and
plunged
up
and
down
,
as
if
he
was
struggling
for
life
,
and
so
indeed
he
was
.
90
He
immediately
made
to
the
shore
;
but
between
the
wound
,
which
was
his
mortal
hurt
,
and
the
strangling
of
the
water
,
he
died
just
before
he
reached
the
shore
.
