hen_n pheasant_n pigeon_n and_o wild_a fowl_n beyond_o all_o credit_n especial_o there_o be_v to_o be_v see_v about_o the_o month_n of_o february_n and_o march_v huge_a flock_n of_o a_o certain_a

do_v vanish_v away_o and_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v see_v on_o this_o bless_a island_n do_v they_o set_v i_o a_o shore_n with_o a_o negro_n to_o attend_v i_o where_o praise_v be_v god_n i_o recover_v my_o health_n and_o continue_v there_o for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o whole_a year_n solace_v myself_o for_o lack_n of_o human_a society_n with_o bird_n and_o brute_n beast_n as_o for_o

a_o goat_n or_o a_o cow_n by_o reason_n thereof_o i_o find_v mean_n easy_o to_o make_v tame_a divers_a sort_n both_o of_o bird_n &_o beast_n which_o i_o do_v in_o short_a time_n only_o by_o muzzel_v they_o so_o as_o till_o they_o come_v either_o unto_o i_o or_o else_o diego_n they_o can_v not_o feed_v at_o first_o i_o take_v great_a pleasure_n in_o a_o kind_n of_o partridge_n of_o which_o i_o

they_o beat_v up_o and_o down_o all_o the_o west_n end_n of_o the_o island_n till_o they_o have_v hunt_v he_o out_o yet_o this_o kind_n of_o conveyance_n not_o be_v without_o some_o inconvenience_n needless_a here_o to_o be_v recite_v after_o a_o certain_a space_n i_o persuade_v diego_n who_o though_o he_o be_v a_o fellow_n of_o good_a part_n be_v ever_o content_a to_o be_v rule_v by_o i_o to_o remove_v his_o habitation_n unto_o a_o promontory_n or_o cape_n upon_o the_o north-west_n part_n of_o the_o island_n be_v though_o a_o league_n off_o yet_o within_o sight_n of_o my_o house_n and_o

assure_v myself_o that_o it_o may_v prove_v exceed_o profitable_a unto_o mankind_n be_v right_o use_v and_o well_o employ_v for_o that_o which_o a_o messenger_n can_v perform_v in_o many_o day_n this_o may_v dispatch_v in_o a_o piece_n of_o a_o hour_n well_o i_o notwithstanding_o after_o a_o while_n grow_v weary_a of_o it_o as_o be_v too_o painful_a for_o i_o and_o betake_v i_o again_o to_o my_o wing_a messenger_n upon_o the_o seashore_n especial_o about_o the_o mouth_n of_o our_o river_n i_o find_v great_a store_n of_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o wild_a swan_n before_o mention_v feed_v almost_o altogether_o upon_o the_o prey_n and_o that_o which_o be_v somewhat_o strange_a partly_o of_o fish_n partly_o of_o bird_n have_v which_o be_v also_o no_o less_o strange_a one_o foot_n with_o

30._o or_o 40._o young_a one_o of_o they_o and_o breed_v they_o up_o by_o hand_n partly_o for_o my_o recreation_n partly_o also_o as_o have_v in_o my_o head_n some_o rudiment_n of_o that_o device_n which_o afterward_o i_o put_v in_o practice_n these_o be_v strong_a and_o able_a to_o continue_v a_o great_a flight_n i_o teach_v they_o first_o to_o come_v at_o call_v affar_n off_o not_o use_v any_o
