would fpoil before the next day. The King gave orders to
have the—other-fix cleaned and drafted for keeping, after
their own manner, and' Taid he would fend them over in
the morning/—It now advancing towards fun-fet, the King
wifhed the three gentlemen to move homewards before it
grew dark, as part of their way over land was rugged and
hazardous; thèv therefore took, leave of him, with rainy

the “fifh; they were fudging all the way thfd^h tfee
woods, and were heard long before they were feen. The
fifh were quite ftveet and good; and, as the great heat of this
climate taints all their fifh in a few hours, it may be worth

flicks are placed lengthways of the fifh, to fupport and keep
ft ftraight, much in the fame manna: as meat is laid in 3
cradle fpit; around it are bound feme broad leaves. They
then make a kind of ftage or trivet, placed about two feet
from the ground, upon which the fifh is laid, and a flow
fire made underneath, over which it remains for feveral
hours, till it becomes fmoke-dried, and lhen.it is fit for eating
without any further dreffing, and would keep a couple
of
of days, though certainly not fa weft-flavoured. |pt| when
