greatest poets that ever lived came
within an ace of being the "mute, in
glorious Milton" for his almost divine
epic found little favor with the book
sellers of his day, and was finally sold
for about the sum which q first class
poet of the present day would expect

Scarcely a week passes that several ma

being caught by these animals.
! remember upon one coccasion. when
passing in a canoe a few native houses
along the river, hearings loud noise, which
sounded like the wailing of a woman.
II was very similar to that had heard at
a native funeral several days previous.

here.
Upon inquiring Of the two natives who
were padNing the canoe, learned
through many gestures and few words
that woman had been killed 10y a croc-

could speak English that on the evening
before woman had gone to the edge Of
the river to fill jug Of water. and as she
stopped over a crocodile grabbed her in

bank.
When it came near the middle of the
river it raised its head above the water
