seeing a snake very near their boots.
They consulted moment as to their own
sanity, and then male an cutlery His
snakeship was by no means scared, but
wiggled round to give them the full
benefit of the warning which Marshall
had procured him to accomplish. A
woman soon appeared and picked up the

her arm disappeared within the tent. The

There being two stumps remaining, she
insisted on taking it again, and inhaled
