Should scarcely fi3ave anticipated. The

had been so kindly invited to take up
my residence for some time, and-where
I had resolved to spend a few weeks iu
examining the local scenery and curi
osities,,;laying upon the banks of a river
that comes. doWn from the mountains
of Guiana. Mr. Heinvauh (the pro
prietor) although the superintendence
of his estate occupied a great portion of
of his time, contrived to devote no in
considerable portion of it to my_amuse
ment. Acc6mpanied by a couple of
servants, and Gmsar, a shrewd and ac

. (a personage notenly useful, but evett

as many of the delicacies of the table
are furnished by him,) we made fie
•quent excursions rip the country, and
`committed occasionally sad Itavec
among the quadrupeds and feathered
• tribes with- which that regien abounds.
At other times we Manned a couple of
canoes, 'and 'descending the river, we
employed ourselvei in, fishing excur
sions, or in taking a shot at such birds
as unfortunately fiat. themselves

had seen :,and deSirtiyed. But an ad

entirely ..ekarigett my opinion of their

and •hen"! found time hang heavy Am-
on my, hands, Cfesar was always wilt
in! to volunteer his services as my

which 1, wished to nndartal.te; and
clever and active fellow I. indeed found
him: He was a capital Shotond - un
equalled in tbe success with which he,
contrived to' hook his fish' when not
one would look at the bait belonging to
another. '
A l One day about two or three weeke,l
after my arrival; Mr. Heinvault
intone
ed me that he was under the necessity
of going to.a 'plantation diStant about
ten miles ; and .as the way lay partly
thrOugh the, woods and trackless savan-,
nah; he was obliged to take Cmsar-with
him, he being the only one on the es
state who had a thorough knowledge of
the Way, -and . who front, his dexterity'
and address proved a uscfnl,and agreea
)e attendant. He added, that he should
be back early in the afternoon, and that
if I wished-to take a stroll, nr go on the .
water,*any of the, rest of 'his people
should be at my diep.Osal.... After Mr.
-H. had lode away, rstrollitl about tile
plantation an hour or ; two, looking at
every. thing to amuse myself; but.get
ting terribly wearied with doing noth
ing, I told one of the people to get the
lines ready, for it was '-my intention to
go out a fishing for some time, the day•
being rather warm and sultry for enjoy
ing a shooting excursion.
These being soon ready, I likewise
sent- 'for my gnn, and delined the offer
he made to attend me, I pushed outinto
the stream and dropped slowly down
the ' river. The current being
_very
slow, I was a while in reaching. the
place where the river bra — hes off into
a number of streams. I guided my ca
noe into one of those in which I bad
formerly been along with Cxsar, j , and
where our.sport had been very good.—
The stream in general was above eigh
teen or twenty feet. 1.. paddled my
light canoe " up and down this trying
to get a shot at some of the beautiful
birds which often - frequent there la
goons. But the birds were scarce and
shy. -Fatigued with this unsuccessful
sport, I set the lines,. and paddled abcut
for some time, at length I drew them
up ; but whether they had not been
baited' as well as Ctesar used-to do it,
or whether the fish were as shy as the
birds, I cannot tell.; but after a few tri
als. I got tireth of this "sport likew
Thinking I would be moreisuccessful
else Where. I proceeded about a quar
ter of a mile farther down, and set lines.
By this time the day had become ex
ceedingly-sultry and-oppressive. See
ing thei‘was no prospect of a shot, I
took off my stockings and shoes, :and
bathed'my feet in the water, and work
ing my canoe . to the other side. I laid
my glib ready loaded for a shot uponi
the benches, and stretched myself along
side of it, waiting • till it was time to'!
draw the lines which I. had set. In
this position I fellasleep, overcome, as
I suppose, by,the heat of the day, and .
the fatigue I had under gone.

salutation of the same kind as I had

in reaching the landing place' - before

hurried up to the hotise 'where.l found
Mr. Heinvault, who had just arrived.
You may be certain I lost time in
communicating to him the almost mira
culous escape I had just Made, and the
wound I had inflicted on the animal.
‘. In that case," said he, , y it cannot es
cape; we must immediately ,go in
search of it," instantly summoning Cm

and to bring two of his fellows with

easy terms. “In'general,' he said ‘• it
is very dangerous - `to l attack them at

they become extreMelYinforiated ; and
• there are not wanting instances in which

Just as,he finished saying this CTsar
re-appeared, bimself armed with a club,
one of those who followed him carry

the other was armed with a weapon
sithiltir to a bill-hook,. " This Mr. Hein

reckoned the best instrument for a close

We could now examine - the creature
-With safety. We found -that a good
part of our shot had lodged about its
head and neck, and would probably
have proved fatal to it, even if we had
left it to'' its fate. I confess it'Was not
without a shudder that I handled and
examined it, when I thought how nearly -
I had escaped from furnishing it with T,
meal.
We set ourselves to work, and not
without - difficulty dm we succeed in
dragging the huge carcase to the edge
of the stream; and_in embarking .it in
one of the canoes, to which it formed a
pretty lair loading. It was not far from
sunset When the expedition landed on
the bank near Mr. Heinvault's house.
He soon got sufficient assistance in con
veying the carcase up, and, in deposit
ing it in a place of safety. On measur
iig
it we found it to be nearly forty
feet in length, and of proportional thick
ness. Mr. Heinvault informed me that
it was the largest he had seen killed,
although he had. often seen others un
der' circuinStances which convinced him
that they mint have been of a far great
er size. 1
It was ndt until I was serited7at a late
dinner, that I felt_ myself a little over
cope with the usual exertion I had un
dergone on,so sultry and oppressive a
day. But as the evening - wore on I
completely' recovered ; and never do I
recollect spending a more agreeable
one. The adventure however, and the
consciousness of my escape, must have
been deepl y impressed upon my inind ;
for during Some months after, I often
started front my sleep with the Cold

crushed and expirint in the embrace of
a horrid reptile.
