during which time the Mayor of Nash

In fact, a small squad did cross over to the
city and back again on the ferryboat we

Mayor Cheatham was anxious to sur

CHAPTER XIX.

Every preparation being made, we one
morning started from Jala -Jala We ira
versed the peninsula formed by my settle
ment, and embarked on the other side in
small canoe, which took us to the bot
tom of the lake to the northeast of my
habitation We passed the night in the
large village of Siniloan, and at an early
hour the following day resumed our march.
This first days journey was one of toll
and suffering We were then beginning
the rainy season, and the heavy storms
had Swelled the rivers. We marched for
some time along the banks of a torrent,
which rushed down from the mountains
and which we were obliged to swim
through Is times during the day. In the
evening we came to the foot of the mount
aims where begin the forests of gigantic
trees which cover almost all the center
of the Island of LuZon.
There we made our first halt, lighted
our fires, and prepared our beds and our
supper. | think that | have already de-
scribed our beds, which use and fatigue
always rendered agreeable to us when no
accident occurred to disturb our repOSe.
But | have said nothing of the simple
composition of our meals, nor OF our man
ner of preparing them.
Our rice and palms required to be cook
ed, an operation which might seem rather
embarrassing for we had with us no large
kitchen articles; We sometimes wanted
fire-bOX and finder. But the bamboo
supplied all these. The bamboo is one of
the three tropical plants which nature, in
her beneficence and care, seems to have
given to man to supply most of his wants.
And here | cannot fOrbear dedicating q
few lines to the description of those three
products of the tropics, viz: the bamboo
the cOcoanut tree, and the banana plant.
THE USEFUL BAMBOO.
The bamboo belongs to the gramineous
family. 1t grows in thick groves, in the
woods, on the river banks, and wherever
it finds q humid soil. In the Philippines
there are counted rs or 30 kinds, different
in form and thickness. There are some
of the diameter of the human body and
hollow in the interior. This kind serves
especially for the construction OF huts,
and for making vessels to transport and
to keep water. The filaments are used
for making baskets, hats, and all kinds
OF basket-work, cords, and cables Of great
Solidity.
Another bamboo, of smaller dimensions
and hollow within, which is covered with
vanish, almost as hard as steel, is en-
ployed in building Indian houses Cut to
a point it is extremely sharp, and is used
for many purposes. The Indians make
lances of it, and arrows, and deams for
bleeding horses and lancets for opening
abceSSeS and for taking thorns or other
things out of the flesh
third kind, much more solid and as
thick ones arm, and not hollow within,
is used in such parts of the buildings as
require solid timber, especially in the
roofing. A fourth kind, much smaller,
and also without being hollow serves to
make the fences that surround inclosed
