delayed us much, for which reafon we did not reach that
place till two in the morning, where we found accommo-

not long but left Dogftau very early, and pafled under
an exceeding high rock at fome {mall diftance from
thetown. The fummit of this rock is much reforted to

experienced in this miferable country. ingesr
