A hollow log lay near the trunk of a large tulip-tree, with the heart-wood decayed and gone. The snake had made for this no doubt its haunt and before I could come up with it, I saw the long slimy body, with its rhomboid spots, disappear within the dark cavity. Another "sker-r-rr" reached my ears as it glided out of sight. It seemed a note of triumph, as if uttered to tantalise me!
The stinging sensation, however, awoke me; and my eyes mechanically turned towards the hand, where I still felt pain. Sure enough my wrist was punctured and bleeding! A feeling of horror ran through my veins, as the "sker-r-rr" of the crotalus sounded in my ear; and, looking around, I saw the glittering body of the reptile extended along the grass, and gliding rapidly away!
