This Raft Was Much Larger Than The First, And Out Of The
Water Where I Stood.
Oh!
But I was so proud of that raft, and
talking to myself all the time, and telling myself what a fine raft
it was, and I was so proud of my raft. I got across safe and
without much trouble after all.
It was nearly sunset. I thought I'd better make my fire and found
I was nearly safe. I would dry up and make a good early start in
the morning, and would nearly get to the post the next day. I
picked out a place for the night, and shot three partridges right
there. It was near a point where I was and round the point run a
deep bay. I thought may be another river run out from there. And
just to see if I could see any river I run to the point. When I
got to the point, I seeing a small boat within 100 yards from me;
and, of course, to make sure, I run to see it, thinking it would
come handy to me and I could sail to the post.
Before I came near it, a child screamed out nearly opposite of me
in the bush. I cannot tell how I felt. I just run the direction I
heard the sound. The next, the roof of a house I saw. Then I came
on a trail. I saw a girl with a child outside of the door.
