 palfed over a Run of Water, and then attend-

 came to a delightful Place, like a fine Park 

 abounding with {lately Deer. Here w r ere 

 the talleft and largeft Trees I ever faw, 

 with Bodies fo thick, that we could 

 not fathom them in eight times. At the 

 End of this Place, where we got about 

 Evening, Hood an old Range, but no one 

 near it. Not far from hence, we faw a new
