breeding and multiplying, besides all the bogs and sheep that might be thought expedient to send thither ; and to distribute these in two ships of one hundred and forty lasts, in such a manner that they should be well foddered and attended to. Each animal had its own stall, with a floor of tliree feet of sand ; fixed as comfortably as any stall here. Each animal had its respective servant who attended to it and knew its wants, so as to preserve its health, together with all suitable forage, such as oats, hay and straw, &c. In addition to these, country people take with them all furniture proper for the dairy ; all sorts of Seed, ploughs and agricultural implements, so that nothing is wanting. What is most remarkable is, that nobody in the two ships can discover where the water is stowed for these cattle. As it was necessary to have anotlier [ship] on tliat account, I shall here add : -- the above parties caused a deck to be constructed on board. Beneath this were stowed in each ship three hundred tons of fresh water whicn was pumped up and thus distributed among t'le cattle. On this deck lay the ballast mid thereupon stood the liorses and steers, and thus there was no waste. He added the third ship so that, should the voyage continue longer, nothing may be wanting to the success of the expedition. In the eyes of the far seeing, the plan of this colony, which lay right beside the Spanish passage from the West Indies, was well laid.
