Such terror we had:
North 20 degrees west, 8 o’clock;
Four miles, 23 yards wide, 2 miles further.
Want of water,
Complaining of great thirst.
Rises from the north and south, a steep ascent to leave a level plain.
Beliefs in origins – most probably the production of nature.
The plains are open, void of timber
Level to a great extent (hence the wind over the naked plains
And against this hill)
Fly to its leeward side for shelter.
One evidence: a large assemblage of birds about this mound
Produce in the savage mind a confident belief in this
most beautiful landscape.
