_Nov._ 5.—This day went abroad with my gun and my dog, and killed a wild cat; her skin pretty soft, but her flesh good for nothing; every creature that I killed I took of the skins and preserved them.
5 November. Dezen dag ging ik met mijn geweer en mijn hond uit, en schoot eene wilde kat; hare huid was zeer zacht, maar haar vleesch deugde niets.
