all over the Country. The Way that we went this day, was as full of Stones,
as any which Craven, in the West of Yorkshire, could afford,
and having nothing but Moggisons on my Feet, I was so lam'd
by this stony Way, that I thought I must have taken up some Stay
in those Parts. We went, this day, not above 15 or 20 Miles.
After we had supp'd, and all lay down to sleep, there came a Wolf
close to the Fire-side, where we lay. My Spaniel soon discover'd him,
at which, one of our Company fir'd a Gun at the Beast; but, I believe,
there was a Mistake in the loading of it, for it did him no Harm.
The Wolf stay'd till he had almost loaded again, but the Bitch making
a great Noise, at last left us and went aside. We had no sooner laid down,
but he approach'd us again, yet was more shy, so that we could not get
a Shot at him.

{Tuesday.}
Next day, we had 15 Miles farther to the Keyauwees. The Land
is more mountainous, but extremely pleasant, and an excellent Place
for the breeding Sheep, Goats, and Horses; or Mules, if the English
were once brought to the Experience of the Usefulness of those Creatures.
The Valleys are here very rich. At Noon, we pass'd over
such another stony River, as that eight Miles from Sapona.
This is call'd Heighwaree, and affords as good blue Stone for Mill-Stones,
as that from Cologn, good Rags, some Hones, and large Pebbles,
in great abundance, besides Free-Stone of several Sorts, all very useful.
I knew one of these Hones made use of by an Acquaintance of mine,
and it prov'd rather better than any from Old Spain, or elsewhere.
The Veins of Marble are very large and curious on this River,
and the Banks thereof.

Five Miles from this River, to the N.W. stands the Keyauwees Town.
