came, afraid 10 move forward, and too
Jrooc to retreat, especially as they were
that the enemy was not adj
yahcing. SO they sat and waited Tor
The cloud to pass, 50 that they might
pcrchance, catch q glimpse Of their new
neighJor; and, fortunately, they were
soon relieved Of their suspense, which
was changed to wonder and astoniSh'
ment at what they behe!d, perchcd II a
tree, but Il short distance before them
and now plainly visible by the light OF

omnivorous. Its body IS long, slender
and supple, resembling very nearly tue
shape OF the panther, and the mother
was judged to be about the size OF the
panther. The limbs are long, we'll
