Sabines

Chinches3 or what we call Sabines have increased & multiplied, & become so numrous, that in the late engagements which they have had with us, they have qutite defeated us, & obliged us to retreat from our rooms which they hold the entire possession of at night; none of the room-mates have been able to sleep in my room for upwards of three weeks, & it is nearly the case with respect to all the rest; as for my part I generally spead the tables in the passage & pour water around their feet, by which means I escape them as they are in general bad swimers.
