Escapes of prisoners out of Europe.
European Slaves may more easily escape, then those sold into transmaritime Regions; they pass Rivers onely, that may be swim∣med over; others, with great dif∣ficulty must pass the Hellespont. Such as intend escapes, usually at∣tempt it in Harvest season, to hide themselves in Fields of Corn, and by it live. The Nights they Travel; the Day lie close, in Corn, Woods, or Marshes; and rather chuse to be devoured by Wolves, then brought back to their Tyger-Masters.
