The next night he was robbed again, and the robbers, angry at finding so little to steal, did not leave him his boat.

After much difficulty he reached a native village and procured an old skiff.

With this he finished his journey unmolested.
There were fifteen or twenty deck passengers, a fair proportion being women and children.

Among the latter was a black eyed girl of fifteen, in a calico dress and wearing a shawl pinned around a pretty face.

On Sunday morning she appeared in neat apparel and was evidently desirous of being seen.
