The Terrible Hamadryad.

There is only one beast that will
track you down to avenge the death of
its mate no matter how far you go. and
that is a snake
Moreover, it is the most terrible Of
all snakes and the largest of the poison
GUS variety. Its name is the hamadryad.
A bite from this reptile will kill the
strongest man in two minutes, and Of
course there is no remedy. No one Bit
ten by hamadryad has ever survived.
1t chiefly belongs to the far east.
There are generally two hamadryads
if there is one, and if you kill one of
them the other will be on your track
before long in all probability. Short of
taking ship across the sea there is no
way of escaping unless you watch for
the snake and shoot it. 1t will follow
you for miles for the chance of stealthy
stroke, and you may climb trees or
mountains or ford rivers. but there is
no way of evading the hamadryad. 1t
is sort of nightmare hunt to be chased
by one and when the chase begins
either one or the other will have to die
within a day or SO. The mate of the
slain snake never makes mistake, but
always kills the slayer of its companion
and him alone This reptile grows to
a length of Is feet sometimes and is
fairly common in Malay and New
Guinea One scratch from its fangs is
