on my personal apparel, until!
At this idea, too terrible to be concluded,
a profusc pcrspiration broke out all over

back into the lake again to consider what
was to be done, and resolving the fell de-

portion of my garments at least, OIL upon
perishing in the attempt, and rushed out OF
the thicket for the purpose; bat my courage
