his party on their way TO the Blue mount
ain, in the neighborboOd Of watch searct
parties had located the snake the day DO
fore. HE had been seen by one OF the
hunters 20 eater the GuacharO caves IN ths
hill SO parated BY hollow from the mount
ain, aud Gordon had gradually bees
formed round the hill to prevent his sally
ing out. Other parties were also on thi
war-path, and the party received ssyera
additions on the way. From all reports II
was now clear that the Huillia was at bay
But how best 70 engage HIM and destroy
him IL the deep cavities OF the hiu, whers
there was even rushing stream and 8
kind Of Stygian pool, was the excited sub
iect Of discussion on the way.
The following plan of campaign was,
however, finally agreed upon. lie was ts
be shot down when and where to be SEEM
and dogs would be used TO trace his exact
haunt aud give notice Of his coming IN case
Of rush onward. The guides were well
acquainted with the immense caves where
besides the weird Guacharo, the great
serpent had now taken up his abode.
The Warden's party having reached the
caves and another large party holding the
entrance on the valley in the northern side
sort Of foriorn hope by the Warden and
principal for members OF his party was
organized for gradual entrance into TIE
caverns AS far as toe light Of DAY pene
trated, preceded by couple Of dogs held il
leash by guides. Nothing was noticed fol
some minutes as the party stumbled theil
way over the rough rocks, save the mur
muir of the fal and the mOurnful hal
scTcech Of the dismal Guacharo bird. BI
as they drew nearer the pool at the foot o
the waterfall the dogs began to get ex
cited and TO evince Il decided inclination Z
run back. There was sufficient hCh
streaming through the entrances TO dis
tingulsh pretty clearly all objects in the in
terror in the direct line Of the entrances
The party halted, both on account Of the IN
ruly disposition of the dogs and becaus
one OF the guides stated ke had seen some
thing mOying in the pool
with rifles cooked, al eyes were nov
fixed upon the pool. The dogs now begal

Of the party, the head of monstrouS snak
suddenly appeared on the surface of th
pool, and two large and lustrous eyes be
came fixed with diaboiic2l CLEAN on III

from the hideous head. A muttered signal
aud a volley rang with reverberatini

had not been killed by the bullets aimed a

pool. aud with fully twenty-five feet OF hi

from the pool
"A few whispered words notified hal
the party 70 aim at his head and the othe

The colossal snake leaped wholly out Of tn,
pool. and with a few terrible cOnvulsions
IN which he lashed the water and the foo

ground, third volley for 9uietus insur
