to the banks of a pebbly stream, and being a
hot day, he thought he would have bath
lie placed his clothes and arms at the foot Of
a tree, and then went into the water. After
time, being sufficiently refreshed, he was re.
turning to dress, when he perceived a large
female ourang-outag standing bewteen him
and the tree. She advanced towards him. as
he stood parayzed with surprise, and seizinp
him by the arm compelled him to follow her
to branching tree and climb up it. When
he reached her resting place, consisting of
ooughs and branches woven into comfort.

mained some months iealously guarded by his
strange companion, fed by her on fruits and
the verbiage of the palm, and rarely permitted
