16 A TOUR THROUGH
Monte Barbaro, the place that formerly
produced the Falernian wine, but now a
barren vvaste. I don't know if you are ac-
quainted with this kind of sport. To me,
I own, its novelty was its greatest: merit;
and I would not at any time give a day of
partridge for a month of porcupine shoot-
ing. Neither indeed is the fiesh of these
animals the mod delicious in the world,
though to-day most of us have dined upon
it. It is extremely luscious, and soon palls
upon the appetite.
We are now going to lay in our sea-store,
as there is some probability that we mall
sail in a day or two.—Farewell—you shall
hear from me again at Messina, if we are
not swallowed up by Charybdis.
