Wild boar also are very numerous in some of the hilly districts S,'and W. of Chinngchin, and though not so dangerous to nin, they yet make great havoc of corn and vegetables. There are several smaller wild animals also to be found, wild cate, a kind of fox, and other kin I wonder sometimes that those those who are fond of sport don't try their hand in Chin, for aot only would they enjoy the pleasures and nity for benefits upon the Chines villagers that would earn them gratitude and heartfelt thanks, The beautiful weenery to be found among the bille may form another attraction to those who are fond of nature, for every prospect pleases, while only nian is vile."
And with that quotation from Heber's missionary hymn I think T had better close.
