iS^ TRAVELS THROUGH 



firft eagle that comes there eats of it, grows fa? 

 xniliar with the place, and attraflis others of his 

 fpecies thither, that greedily difpute the prey 

 with each other. Then the old man digs a kind 

 of niche or hollow at the top of the hill ; he 

 makes a chimney or vent to it which he {lops 

 up with a bundle of fagots, on which he places 

 the baits : he fuffers the bird to eat its fill ; then 

 he puts his hands, which he has wrapt in a little 

 fack of leather through fome ftraw under the 

 faggots ; takes hold of the eagle's legs, pulls it 

 dow'h^-^wraps it in his ox-hide, and fo kills it. 

 If he' is lucky enough to take fivt or fix of them, 

 he is content, becaule the feathers are an article 

 •of trad^ throughout Norfh-Jmerka. This way 

 of hunting is not very troublefome : the baitg 

 are taken together by the old man's children, 

 and the women fend him viduals.
