The floor Is bare earth, where at
nightfall there often gathers together
a miscellaneous family OF dirty chill
dren, fowls. ducks pigeons and a
litter OF pigs al living together in
happy harmony. In some districts in

strongly fortified with high wallis
containing apertures for firearms and
protected by a moat crossed by rude
drawbridge With grain. swine and
