PURCHASE OF A BULLOCK. 
335 
draught bullock for sale. The price demanded is 
fifteen metagals of this country, two and a-half of 
which are equal to a Spanish dollar. He lowered 
his price to eight, and the blacks offered seven, but 
eight were at last given. One of our people mounted 
the naked back of the bullock, and rode him as 
quietly and easily as a little pony.
