If I could get a good reason for

failure to get out, on the hypothesis of
insanity caused by being lost. A man is

of but one man attempting to make his
way through the Adirondac wilderness
without the help of guides. That was
two years ago, and that man was well
dressed, and was bent Oh making his
way alone. He made inquiries about
the correct routes, and tried to follow
them. But his conduct attracted sc
much attention that the guides kept
track of him, fearing he might meet
with harm. He was kept in sight several
days, but at last got lost, and we have
never since heard of him.
