The inhabitants retired to a...

347 psl. - In some parts the declivity is so great, that the mules can scarcely keep their footing ; and in others, the acclivity is equally difficult. The trouble of having people going before to mend the road, the pains arising from the many falls and bruises, and the being constantly wet to the skin, might be supported, were not these inconveniences augmented by the sight of such frightful precipices, and deep abysses, as must fill the mind with ceaseless terror.

35 psl. - We offered him some victuals, but he seemed to loathe the sight.
