During this time I made my rounds in the woods for game every day when the rain permitted me, and made frequent discoveries in these walks of something or other to my advantage; particularly, I found a kind of wild pigeons, which build, not as wood-pigeons in a tree, but rather as house-pigeons, in the holes of the rocks; and taking some young ones, I endeavoured to breed them up tame, and did so; but when they grew older they flew away, which perhaps was at first for want of feeding them, for I had nothing to give them; however, I frequently found their nests, and got their young ones, which were very good meat.
Az említett időszak alatt is, amikor csak az időjárás engedte, naponta jártam az erdőket, és időnként hasznos felfedezéseket tettem. Egyik alkalommal olyan vadgalambokra bukkantam, amelyek nem a fán, hanem a házi galambokhoz hasonlóan sziklák üregeiben fészkelnek.
