I would go to California, and hunt my way across the continent. Ruxton's 'Life in the Far West' inspired a belief in self-reliance and independence only rivalled by Robinson Crusoe. If I could not find a companion, I would go alone.
There, go you all on the rock, and I will bring up the Mohicans with the venison. A man had better sleep without his scalp, than famish in the midst of plenty." His passengers gladly complied with these directions.
In "The Bravo," we read, "As the stranger passed, his glittering organs rolled over the persons of the gondolier and his companion," etc.; and again, in the same novel, "The packet was received calmly, though the organ which glanced at its seal," etc. In "The Last of the Mohicans," the complexion of Cora appears "charged with the color of the rich blood that seemed ready to burst its bounds."
