Feeling indisposed for further repose, he got up and went out in that vague state of mind which is usually defined as ""having a look at the weather."" Whether or not he gathered much information from the look we cannot tell, but, taking up his short gun, which stood handy at the entrance of the cave, he sauntered down the path which his host had followed a short time before. Arrived at the shore, he observed that a branch path diverged to the left, and appeared to run in the direction of a high precipice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
