with plenty of tocino or cured pork fat for 

 frying eggs, should be laid in at this place, 

 together with a sufficient stock of plantains 

 and dried salt meat for the bogas, who are 

 fed, as well as paid, by the traveller, and 

 who, notwithstanding their abstemiousness 

 at home, devour an astonishing quantity of 

 provisions when living at the expense of 

 others. The requisite cooking utensils are 

 a large copper chocolate-pot, a copper ves- 

 sel for making soup, another for hash and 

 stews, a third flat one for frying eggs, two 

 block-tin plates, three dishes, two tin cups 

 for drinking, and a small tin measure for 

 serving spirits to the bogas, who will not* 

 work well without a dram each morning of 

 the anise of the country, of which a jar or 

 two must be provided, so as to supply 

 them throughout the journey. Knives, 

 forks, spoons, and small duck table-cloths, 

 about a yard square, must not be for- 

 gotten.
