They went ashore on the 7th, when they saw two ostriches, and found a large river of fresh water, beside which grew many shrubs producing sweet black-berries. Being in lat. 54° S. the mountains were all covered with snow, yet they found pleasant woods, in which were many parrots.
High-bush blackberries and low-bush black-berries, you understand, just so everywhere, high-bush here and there, low-bush plenty. You must see the two parsons' daughters, Saint Ambrose's and Saint Joseph's, and another girl I want particularly to introduce you to. You shall form your own opinion of her. I call her handsome and stylish, but you have got spoiled, you know.
The embankment runs along one end of the pond, and the hermit only said: It fills a few hollows And makes banks for the swallows, And sets the sand a-blowing And the black-berries growing.

They also make a dish of locusts, which come at certain seasons to devour their potatoes; on which occasions they catch these insects in nets, and broil or bake them in earthen pans, when they are tolerable eating. Their ordinary drink is water; but they make also a kind of liquor of the juice of sugar-canes, boiled up with black-berries, allowed afterwards to ferment four or five days in jars.
That early June day had been cloudy from dawn; Peter was glad of that, for he meant to pick black-berries, and a sunless day for berry-picking is an unmixed blessing.
Most things of that kind grow wild, and are to be had for the picking. It is difficult to keep to any programme when walking through the Vosges, the temptation on a hot day to stop and eat fruit generally being too strong for resistance. Raspberries, the most delicious I have ever tasted, wild strawberries, currants, and gooseberries, grow upon the hill-sides as black-berries by English lanes.
But one day some one of the women I do not know which one filled a gourd with black-berries and carried it to her cave. In no time all the women were carrying berries and nuts and roots in the gourds. The idea, once started, had to go on. Another evolution of the carrying-receptacle was due to the women.
They are good in Tarts, or infused in Liquors. This Tree grows much like the Hurts, and is of the same Bigness. I have known it transplanted to high Land, where it thrives. But the Black-Berries are bitterish, and not so palatable, as in England. It is found in no other parts of Carolina or America, that I ever learnt, but in Places that are near the Mountains.
