The Doctor, who was not prepared to meet an argu- ment of that description, withdrew rapildy and did not stop until he arrived, disappointed and much out of wind, at the chief's lodge, where he narrated his adventure. After this I strolled out with one of my com- panions. It was so late that there were few Indians to be seen. Occasionally we heard the howl of a wolf, and now and then an owl would raise his voice amid the fringe of trees which drooped over the river, and send forth a long, quave...ring whoop. We strolled along the shore for half a mile, glad to be set free from the well-meant though tedious attentions of our hosts. At length we were preparing to retrace our steps, when our attention was attracted by a low, mournful cry proceeding from the burial-ground of the vil- lage, which was near by. We approached quietly.
