walk about very fteadily on all his Legs, tho’ he {till 
appear’d weakeft behind: Wherefore imagining he 
might linger a long time, or perhaps recover entirely, 
we made him fall: again, and gave him three Ounces 
more, near half of which he fpilt ; and indeed out

enter’d his Stomach : He gave one terrible loud Howl,

Inches above it ; upon opening it, we found fome 
pieces of Bone in it, a pretty deal of Straw, and 
about two Ounces of Fluid, which fmelt ftrong of the
