Accordingly, the next morning, about two o'clock, I departed from Deena. It was moonlight, but the roaring of the wild beasts made it necessary to proceed with caution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
