piece of blue callico, About five yards
long, is the whole of the woman's drefs,
and the children are entirely naked. The
men have a very ferocious appearance,
and will.deflroy whomfoever they can
overpower, which renders it impofsible to
travel much in this country. Wild hogs
are very numerous among the marlhes,
and there are various kinds of game in
great plenty, which affords fine fport to a
Ihooting party ; but it will be always ne-

never very far from the river, to avoid
being cut off by the favage inhabitants.
The Arabian fide of the river was near
ly the fame as before, except that the
canals were cut farther inland, which im

of the canals are very broad, and I crofsed
over feveral in the wicker balkets before
defcribed, which are indeed very conve
nient where there is not much current,
