550 TRAVELS TO DISCOVER

 bones being all unburied and fcattered upon the furface of 

 the ground where the village formerly flood. We encamped 

 among the bones 'of the dead; no fpace could be found free

 horror at this miferable fpedtacle, we fet outf or Teawa : this

 el Feel, which is foiu- miles weft of Hor-Cacamoot. From
