This evening, going farther into the valleys which lay towards the centre of the island, I found there were plenty of goats, though exceedingly shy, and hard to come at; however, I resolved to try if I could not bring my dog to hunt them down. _Jan._ 2.—Accordingly, the next day I went out with my dog, and set him upon the goats, but I was mistaken, for they all faced about upon the dog, and he knew his danger too well, for he would not come near them.
2 de enero. En efecto, al otro día me llevé al perro y le mostré las cabras, pero me equivoqué porque todas se le enfrentaron y él, sabiendo que podía correr peligro, no se quería acercar a ellas.
