Five miles from Lgov, this river becomes a wide swampy pond, overgrown at the edges, and in places also in the centre, with thick reeds. Here, in the creeks or rather pools between the reeds, live and breed a countless multitude of ducks of all possible kinds quackers, half- quackers, pintails, teals, divers, etc.
The dead quackers he pitched before him, fearing that by the time he got back to camp if ever he did? their flesh would be too bruised to look like respectable meat; for he was obliged to have one hand free to help him in scrambling over each fallen tree. Once or twice this strange trail led him through thickets where the bushes grew so high as to lash his face.
This makes an ill report in all those countries of Europe, where they hear off, that ye Quackers doe here handel men like they handel there ye cattel. And for that reason some have no mind or inclination to come hither, and who shall maintaine this your cause or plaid for it? Truly we can not do so, except you shall inform us better hereoff, that Christians have liberty to practise this things.
So for the time being we pass up the turkeys and splurge heavy on cacklers and quackers. Between him and Joe they fixed up part of the old carriage shed as a poultry barracks and with a mile or so of nettin' they fenced off a run down to the little pond. And by the middle of August we had all sorts of music to wake us up for an early breakfast.
A wild drumming was at Dol's heart, and a reckless singing in his ears, as he raised his gun to his shoulder, and fired among them. Nevertheless, his aim was sure and deadly. Two quackers were killed with one shot! The others rose from the water, and with much fluttering and hoarse noise winged their way to safety. "How'll they be for meat, I wonder?
Henceforth, he thought, there would be little reason for him to dread the unknown in this great wilderness. He reclothed his legs, gathered the stiffening claws of the defunct quackers in his left hand, picked up his empty "ole fuzzee," which had done such good service despite its age, and set forth on his return to camp.
Especially whereas ye Europeans are desirous to know in what manner ye Quackers doe rule in their Province; and most of them doe look upon us with an envious eye. But if this is done well, what shall we say is done evill? Or have these Negers not as much right to fight for their freedom, as you have to keep them slaves?
