But his chief subsistence was the cattle which he seized . and his cookery was as expeditious, as all his other operations. After flaying the animal he placed the skin, loose and hanging in the form of a bag, upon some stakes ; he poured water into it, kindled a fire below, and thus made it serve as a cauldron for the boiling of his victuals.
