not Why, but there seems to be certain
charm in concealed danger, II surrounded
with kind of romantic mystery, which
will oftentimes lure forward the most
timid, and the day and the scene before

influence upon US. We were cautioned
BY the prudent not 10 venture far from
tie beach, nor become separated from
each other, but all be constantly within
call, that in the event Of being assailed
either BY man or beast, We might all be
quickly united against q common foe.
This was good advice, and had I been one
who followed it, might have been saved
q good deal of alarm and suffering.
In company with q shipmate named
John Helleck, moved leisurely along

now and then TO pick up some beautiful

gradually became separated from the

Of couple Of hours, found ourselves far
from oar boat, and entirely alone. This.
however, gave US NO uneasiness, as each
was armed with . carbine, brace of
pistols, and sheath knife, and considered
ourselves equal to any probable assailant.
We came to running stream of limpid
water that tumbled down over its rocky
bed from romantic elevation, beneath y
thick canopy of leaves, shrubs and vines,
and the temptation to explore its banks
for . short distance beneath the cool
shade was too great to be resisted.

I did not need any persuading, and so
ws plunged into the tangled thicket at
once. At first we pushed our way forward
with considerable caution, and I confess
cast my eyes around me in the heavy
gloom with not little of timidity; and
more than once, when I heard stick
snap loudly, or the bushes rustic with
tho hurried departure of some animal
whose solitude we had encroaclied upon,
/ grasped my carbine with a nervous
hand, and held my ground with rather q
questionable courage; but finding as we
advanced that nothing molested US, and
discovering that one at least of our wild
beasts was very pretty little deer, We
regained confidence, and felt the bold
spirit of the eager hunter take posses sion
Of %, and urge NJ forward in quest of
game.
