There's no way but swimming, and this creek's probably inhabited by the usual 'gators and snakes and things." "When one can travel only by swimming, one swims," Pedro smiled. "Leave that to us, senhores. Now the sun sinks fast and I have hunger. Let us eat." Night was at hand.
"Yes, you will find one or two 'gators, now and then," said Mr. Hammond, the overseer, when told of the girls' experience. "But they won't bother you, especially in a big boat. Don't worry." But Grace was so nervous that night that she did not sleep well, and Mrs. Stonington grew quite alarmed.
And then, still when the 'gators were disputing, and not looking, the bunny uncle made himself a whistle out of the willow tree stick.
We traversed miles and miles of savage, uninhabitable marsh before at last we came to the isolated Indian camp. Small wonder the Seminole is still unconquered. It is a world here for wild men. I'll write as I feel inclined and bunch the letters when there is an Indian going out to the fringe of civilization. We hunt the 'gators by night in cypress canoes.

If you don't want one killed I'll fire a blank cartridge at him, unless you'd like to shine the eyes of one yourself." "I don't think I'll try any fire-hunting, but I should like to see it done," said Mr. Barstow.
