The sun was, hot, but his beams cou.d not reach, us; they were intercepted by the topolottrees that grew upon the banksâ€"their leafy branches almost meeting across the water. Half a mile from the mouth 0fthc , creek, we approached a clearing. We saw fields under cultivation; We noticed crops of maize. andl sweet potatoes, with capsicuns , melons. and calabasllcs. | l i There was‘ a d yelling-house of considerable size near the bank, surrounded by an en- closure, With smaller houses in the rear.

Neither father our mother interfered with my daily Wanderings. I came and went at Will; and was rarely questioned as to the direction I had taken. Hunt- ing was supposed to be the purpose of my absence. My dogs and gun. which I always took Will] me, and the game I usually brought back, answered all curiosity. ' My hunting excursions were al- ways iii one uirectmtEâ€"I need hard- ly have said 'soâ€"â€"-always across the river.

The Indian boy was already a skilled ibunter ; and I learned many a se- cret of Wood-craft iil his coliipilny. I remember Well that huntingr less delighted me than before.
