In the gray light of the morning I discovered that I was opposite an island of considerable length, separated from the mainland by a narrow and shallow channel, which I promptly waded. The island was low and flat, covered with an almost impenetrable cane-brake interlaced with vines. Working my way through these to the other side, I obtained another look at God's country Shermany, so to speak.

"Maype you haf heardt uf dose poem enditled 'Big Injun on der Rhine, ain'd id?" "Oh, well, that's all right!" said Ned, with a wave of his hand, as if he was not quite pleased.
"Further special editions will be issued when news is received from East Anglia." "Yes," I said to the waiter; "it's a curious affair." "You believe him, sare zat Shermany do it?" "Eh? No; certainly not. Do you?" "Me? Oh, sare, I don' know nozzing. Vaire shstrong, sare, ze Sherman Armay." The fellow's face annoyed me in some way. It, and his grins and gesticulations, had a sinister seeming.
