These were shouldered and carried in triumph to the camp. The cooking process was not a long one. The flesh of the young peccary is excellent, but that of the older ones is somewhat inferior ; the largest weigh from thirty to forty pounds, and are very much like small domesti- cated pigs, of a dull black colour and having coarse bristles ; the head and nose are very long in propor- tion to the body, and the feet very small. Herds of peccaries abound in these forests, in such large quantities th...at the natives can always have fresh meat when they are not too lazy to hunt. It being already dark when we returned to the camp, I contented myself here for the night, and we started by daylight next morning, without any break- fast, as the natives would not wait ; so, as a passenger has absolutely no authority over them, I thought it best to let them go when they were in the humour. We took with us a good supply of the flesh of the peccaries, and later, when the boatmen felt inclined, we stopped at a sand-bank, and while one party lighted a fire and prepared breakfast, the others w r ent in search of turtles' eees.
