We killed severall other beasts, as Oriniacks, staggs, wild cows, Carriboucks, fallow does and bucks, Catts of mountains, child of the Devill; in a word, we lead a good life. The snow increases dayly. There we make raketts, not to play att ball, but to exercise ourselves in a game harder and more necessary.
The rest tooke delight to see us fight; but when they saw us take either gun or sword, then came they to putt us a sunder. When we weare in the boat we could not fight but with our tongues, flying water att one another. I believe if the fathers' packet had ben there, the guift could not keepe it from wetting. As for meat we wanted none, and we had store of large staggs along the watter side.
"They have men, and that's argument enough," said his wife. The old fellow laughed. "She put it on me a little right there," he declared. "Yes, sir, I've got a steel trap clamped on my foot this minute. But what do you think of the situation now, Lyman; I mean your situation?" "I don't know of any material change." "But of course you are going to sign the petition," said Mrs. Staggs.
Their behavior was precisely that of adolescent white boys of fifteen or sixteen years of age. Jim Pink Staggs was furnishing much amusement with an impromptu sleight- of-hand exhibition. The black audience clustered around Jim Pink in his pinstripe trousers and blue-serge coat.
There are birds whose bills are two and 20 thumbs long. That bird swallows a whole salmon, keeps it a long time in his bill. We saw alsoe shee-goats very bigg. There is an animal somewhat lesse then a cow whose meat is exceeding good. There is no want of Staggs nor Buffes. There are so many Tourkeys that the boys throws stoanes att them for their recreation.
We have said Bull knows nothing: he knows the birth, arms, and pedigree of all the peerage, has poked his little eyes into every one of the carriages on board their panels noted and their crests surveyed; he knows all the Continental stories of English scandal how Count Towrowski ran off with Miss Baggs at Naples how VERY thick Lady Smigsmag was with young Cornichon of the French Legation at Florence the exact amount which Jack Deuceace won of Bob Greengoose at Baden what it is that made the Staggs settle on the Continent: the sum for which the O'Goggarty estates are mortgaged, &c.
My partner is up there now, with his oil stove lighted and the coffee hot. We have some broken dishes, and some cups that are cracked with age. Won't you come up and dine with us?" "Why, I thought you boarded with Cousin Jasper Staggs. And ain't he the funniest thing? I like him ever so much." "I do board with him, but I often dine out. Won't you come up and have a box of sardines?"
When ye rain had abated, we pursued our way killing staggs, & I was given some entrails, which before I had only a little parched corne to ye extent of my handfull. At a point we mett a gang of ye head hunters all on ye shore, dancing about a tree to which was tyed a fine ffrench mastiff dogg, which was standing on its hinder leggs, being lashed up against a tree by its middle.
