ver, and on the Nap of the Hill. 'They 

 hang up their Hammocks between two 

 Trees, and cover them Pelves with a Plan- 

 tain-Leaf, for Shelter from Rain, Wind, 

 &c with a Fire all Night by the Hammock. 

 They never hunt after Sun-fet $ and begin 

 not again till Sun-rife. Their chief Game 

 are xhtPecary and Warree-^ neither of which 

 are fwift of foot. They go in Droves, 

 often 200 or 500 5 fo that if the Indians 

 .come upon them unawares, they ufually 

 kill fome by Random Shot among them. 

 But elfe, they are many times a whole Day 

 without getting any r or fo few, confidering 

 how many, they ftart, that it feems a great 

 Toil to little purpofe. I have feen about a 

 thoufand ftarted, in feveral Droves, when 

 I was a hunting with them 5 of which we 

 kill'd but two, as I remember. Sometimes 

 when they are Shot, they carry away the 

 Arrows quite. When the Beaft, is tir'd, it 

 will ftand at a Bay with the Dogs which 

 will fet him round, lying clofe, not daring 

 to feize, but fnapping at the Buttocks 5 and 

 when they fee their Mafter behind a Tree 

 ready to Ihoot, they all withdraw to avoid 

 the Arrow. As foon as an Indian hath 

 lhot a Pecarjf or Warree, he runs in and 

 Lances them 5 then he unboWels them, 

 throwing away the Guts, and cuts them in 

 two a-crofs the middle. Then he cuts a 

 piece of Wood {harp at both ends j fticks
