For all of the gloom, the vegetation was
luxurious and rank, but the air seemed
laden with perfumes that were sweet to the
point of nauseation.
"In short time we came to a wall of
barren stone. A cry broke from my lips,
Ind stopping I picked up rusty rifle that
lay at the foot of the wall. After a minute
examination / asserted
"'This was Lieutenant Gordan's gun.
His initials are carved on the stock
my voice sounded hollow and strange
looked up at the rugged wall and made
motion to ascend. Captain Starbuck nodded,
and we were soon climbing side by side.
"As we mounted upward a singular
sound came to our ears. 1t was n sort OF
swishing or Kissing, like the sound of
strong wind in rank reeds. and yet unlike
it. This grew more distinct as we neared
the top of the wall, and there was some
thing blood chilling in the sound
1.-THE top was soon reached, and we looked
over into u circular basin, in the very cen
ter Of which rose tree that was of q vivid
ly green hue from its roots to its highest
point. And such treel There were no
leaves upon it, and its bare branches were
round and supple, like 80 many serpents.
From its body to its upper limit the tree
was in motion. The slender limbs were
whipping and cutting through the air like
things of life, making the Kissing sound we
heard as we assembled the rugged pathway.
"a cry of amazement broke from Star
bucks lips In an instant the tree was
still, and every branch pointed straight ut
us. At that moment lost my footing and
slipped back bit, falling below the level
of the wallis highest point. l felt some
thing knock my hat from my head, and
then / heard a terrible shrek from my
companion. My Mortified eyes beheld a
hundred twining, twisting things encircle
him and snatch him from view in n twin
king. For moment others played and
squirmed over the wall as if feeling for me,
and then they vanished.
"A short time l chung there, paralyzed
with such horror as never possessed me be

of the wall again. / can never forget the
horrible sight that greeted my eyes Cap
tain Starbuck was in the grasp of that
demon tree, the limbs Of which were twined
about him like serpents. Some had twisted
themselves about his neck, and | saw he
was already dead having been strangled.
And over the body the snaky arms of the
accursed tree fought and squirmed
sick and fainting with terror, l slid
down to the foot of the wall and ran from
that Internal spot as fast as my legs could
carry me- l did not stop when l reached
the mouth OF the deadly valley, and the
two natives, reading the truth on my face,
kept me company.
"When told the story at camp, it was
received with mingled doubt and credulity.
Some of the men could not bring them
selves to believe such thing possible,
while others, knowing me better, did not
doubt my word.
