We called up the People that lay by us, and told them what had happened.

Who informed us that it was a Tiger, and with a Torch they went to see which way he had gone, and presently found some of it, which he let drop by the way.

When it was day we went further, and pickt up more which was scattered, till we came to the Hide it self, which remained uneaten.
[They pass the River that divides the King's Countrey from the Malabars.] We had now Travelled till Thursday Afternoon, when we crossed the River called Coronda oyah which was then quite dry; this parts the King's Countrey from the Maladars.

We saw no sign of Inhabitants here.

The Woods began to be very full of Thorns, and shrubby Bushes with Clifts and broken Land; so that we could not possibly go in the Woods; but now the River grew better being clear of Rocks, and dry, water only standing in holes.
