The next day at noon, we halted at a spring, which rises from the highest hill in this island, called Vohitch Maner, or Red Hill ; Vohitch signifying an hill^ or mountain. I drove my cattle into a fine valley, where there was fine grass ; but a wild bull came amongst them, and covered one of my cows : I had a great inclination to kill him, though I almost shook for fear; they are terrible creatures to any body's apprehension who is not used to them, and my fear was the cause of my ill success ;... for concealing myself under another cow, I took such an awkward aim at him, that I struck one of my own herd instead gf him. However, as the wound did not prove mortal, I concealed it, nor so much out of any appre- hension I had of my master's anger, as out of fear of being laughed at, for wounding a tame cow, instead of a wild bull. We set up early this afternoon, in a place commodiously situated near some good water ; and then we went out to search for wild ho- ney and faungidge. I had the good fortune to discover a large hole in a hollow tree, that was full of the former; I made a fire presently, and with a brand smoked the bees out.
