A JOURNEY OVERLAND
Apple and Cherrie Trees. I doe remember that in a
parcel] of the Countrey wee past, the ground was neere
covered with a kind of wilde redd rose of a perfect good
smell and coulour, but single, growinge close to the ground
on little Spriggs. Whether it was this day or noe I am not
sure.
The wtk. Jtine, 1620. Wee came to the River of
Dreena (8 miles)1, which runneth into Saba2, formerly
mentioned, beinge a stones cast over, very swifte and cleire,
noe bridge, soe wee were ferried over by boate. Goeinge
six miles further, wee came to a small brooke betwene
two Hills, where wee dined and past the heat of the day.
Neere to this place wee past by certaine howses and Mills
(11 miles), which serve for the worke of a silver Myne in
the Neighbouringe Mountaines3. Att the foote of one of
them is a Cane, but wee pitched by it.
The \2th. June, 1620. In ascendinge the Mountaine
(Ravena)4, wee found it much higher then wee expected,
beinge by computation about eight miles ascendinge and
descendinge from the foote of the Hill on the other side5.
Wee went twelve miles farther through a plaine where were
1 The Drina. In the Itinerary of le Sieur Quiclet, 1657—1658
(B.M. 4040. 1), there is the remark, " Drin, riviere, porte batteaux."
2 The Save.
3 These statements are difficult. They seem to refer to the Drina
and Jadar Rivers, and to Srebreniza {srebro = silver), the site of the
ancient silver, copper and lead mines.
4 The "Romania Acheri" of the Itinerary (see above, note 1), the
M. Romana of a map of 1687 (B.M., K. 113. 34) and the Romanja
(Romania) Planina of Blau's map, Routen in Bosnia unci Herzego-
vina, 1876.

Belgrade, Nouvelles Relations du Levant, vol. i. pp. 123 and 125 f.,
"A une petite journee de Bosna, je me trouvay engage" au milieu des
montagnes, qui sont fort hautes en ces quartiers, et estoient encore
couvertes de neiges....Pendant huit ou dix jours que nous restames
pour arriver a Bellegrade...Je n'y vis que de mechans villages, aupres
desquels nous couchames, 011 dans des Hans, ou a la campagne____On
voit a deux journees de Bosna une petite riviere presque guayable par
tout, appelMe Yadra."
