  A Voyage to Cacklogallinia With a Description of the Religion, Policy, Customs and Manners of That Country

summary:
  There was a Time, when I foolishly mistook my own Interest so far, as by my Conduct to give some Offence to these _Squabbaws_ for which I suffered a severe Disgrace: I then endeavour'd to shelter my self among those who are stiled the Patriots, but they would neither receive me into their Counsels, nor put the least Trust in me. But to come nearer to my present Purpose; my Design of placing you at Court, is to serve as a Spy for me upon the _Squabbaws_; for my Enemies, who have tried in vain all other Means to overturn me, may perhaps at last attempt it that Way; and the Avarice of these _Squabbaws_, which has hitherto been my Support, may one Time or other (if I am not very vigilant) prove my Ruine.

Well, I should write at once to the professor and tell him that Mr Lawrence is in a critical condition, and also to his father's executor, Mr Burne, and insist upon my patient being taken for the winter to a milder clime.

  They evidently anticipated that they would become great men in the republic, upon the safe delivery of our persons to the Mexican Government, and every day took good care to remind us that the gibbet was to be our fate on our arrival. I do not mean to say that all the animals, as the buffaloes, mustangs, deer, &c., had run this distance; of course, as the fire rolled on, the animals were gradually collected, till they had formed the astounding mass which I have described, and thousands had probably already perished, long before the fire had reached the prairie where we were encamped; still I have at other times witnessed the extraordinary exertions which animals are capable of when under the influence of fear.
