Description of a monstrous
great Snake, &c.
[Continued from the la, page.)
Now appeared the double use
06 the tree co the snake : nature,
it feemt, inform! this animal, that
though it can conquer such large
creatures as these, it can by no
means devour them as they are,
fioce their bodies are too thick lor
his swallow, and he must therefore
break their bones, and reduce them
to a foft mafi, before he can man
age them. This be usually does,
at we saw him attempt it on the
cyger, by girting his body very
firmly and bard round them, by
this mean cruthing them to piec
es ; but when this method will
not take place, be has recourse to
the tree, as we now had an oppor
tunity to observe. He dragged
the tyger by degrees, after him to
the tree, apd the creature being
now almost dead, and unable to
stand, he seized him a second
time by the back, and set him on
his legs against the trurk of the
itee; then immediately wind
ing his body round both the tyger
and the tree several times, he girt
ed both with all bis violence, till
the ribs and other bones began to
give way; and, by repeated at
tempts of thi* kind, be broke all
the ribs almost one by one ; this
creature', bones being procligiouf
ly rough, and each giving a loud
crack when M t^r ft. ,When he,
had managed all the ribs thus, he
next attempted 1 the legs, aud
broke them several), in the fame
