I daresay yon would like to see the picture which one of his friends made of him, riding upon his dangerous steed. We may form some idea of this naturalist's feat from what he tells us in another part of his book about his "wanderings."
It was a hard pull through the sand, but the feat was soon accomplished, and the boat was left near the water's edge, to be ready in case the line from the mortar should fail to reach the wreck. The mortar was standing there, and the men were preparing to send out the line which was to bring succor to the terrified passengers on the wreck.
On looking backs I shuddered to behold the frightful chasm we had so successfully passed, and thought it a miracle that we had got safely across; but a very short time afterwards, I was convinced that the feat we had just accomplished was a mere nothing. After giving our animals another rest, we resumed our journey across the dreary prairie. Not a tree or bush could be seen in any direction.
But as he went downstairs he halted on the, landing, his hand going to his forehead, a reflex movement significant of a final attempt to achieve the hitherto unattainable feat of imagining her as his wife.

The thief drove so sharp a bargain for funds current in New Orleans that the cashier's mind was diverted from the genuineness of the check to the percentage of exchange to be realized by the operation.
