She was sure that all she had to do was to follow the line of shore and she would soon be in sight of some familiar place, so she started singing to herself as she walked on: "De big bee flies high, De little bee makes de honey," and hoping that Mrs. Carleton would not think that she had been careless in losing her way. It was rather difficult walking.

They had recourse to the clay of the swamp, from which they fashioned rude sun-dried bricks, and made adobe houses, shaped like a bee hive, which lasted very well until a hard rain came, when they dissolved into red mire about the bodies of their miserable inmates.
