Of not quite five miles; but TO follow the
stream around the bend, was Il sail of over
twenty miles. Tho picco Of land thus near
Iy surrounded by water was gentle swell,
mostly covered by Il stout growth Of wal
nut and sycamore, without particle Of I'M
der brush; the ground being carpeted by
luxuriant covering Of short, tender grass.
Next the centre was spring Of pure cold
WATER, from which Il gentle brook flowed to
the river.
We had noticed this place on our way
up, and had seen flock Of deer there, two

got out "nr tent, and set it up; and before

pretty good beginning.
On the following day, we were on the
trail from morning till night; and carried
homc the hides aal launches Of ten deer,
and that evening we had pleasant season
of storytelling and conversation.
