The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898

CHAPTER I
5/14

Throughout the whole island [of Luzon] there are many wild swine.

They are not fierce, like those in Espana, and accordingly are easily killed.

There is a great number of large, fierce wild buffaloes.

They are killed with muskets, and on one occasion they were unable to bring down a buffalo with twelve musketshots.

If the man who is shooting misses, and does not get quickly under cover, he will be killed.
