The old goat whom I found expiring died in the mouth of the cave the next day after I made this discovery; and I found it much easier to dig a great hole there, and throw him in and cover him with earth, than to drag him out; so I interred him there, to prevent offence to my nose.
Il me parut plus commode, au lieu de le tirer dehors, de creuser un grand trou, de l'y jeter et de le recouvrir de terre. Je l'enterrai ainsi pour me préserver de toute odeur infecte.
