We had Ito/ keep callieg out all the time, so thee no one would, come in at the oth- er end, as it was impossiole to pass ,and you tcould not iturn around. Jt would net do ,to 'oriels ove,r the edge, aB it Seemed thoustands a feet to the toottora. One day we eaw at crater toweling out at the side. of a mountain, riot more than three milea from us, and we walked oven where the lava ran down the sides a the mountain. It seemed Just like melted glass. Peo- ple 'told us it 'had covered -up some Vil- lages down on the plain. .We reached the foot of the moutntale in 'safety, and found there a beauti- ful velley. It was just half a day's mereh from the foot of the mountain to Mazetland, a 'seaport on the Pacific Coast. Oh, how glad: I felt when our haTd journey was over. I felt that, if I was Greened all- of Canada, to turn and ge neck over the eame road I could not do it. It was eealty a, 'beautiful valley be- tween the mountain end the coast. It see ed 'to me that it' must be the gar- i'L den of Eden, ets every kind of fruit you coul mention was growing there, Thel oranges were tying on the ground as thick as the apples in der orchards aed 'pineapples and , bananas were there in abundance. Beautiful 'paha trees, and ;birds with such lovly plum- age were there. I saw, tirds of Para- dise in great nurnbers but I clid not see one of our hirds and the trees were quite different from ours andthe foliage =more tbealitiful. It was f,ar too hot for a white man to live there as the temperature neeeti went below ninety all the year round. It was now aboue 12 months since I had slept- in a house 'but as there was warmly ever any rain end no "'snow it wee all right, We seldom put tip our tent. It just took us ten *days to cross the rnauntaine. When we aerived at Mazetlend we saw 'a steamer Itiine at anchor about a mile out. It could. not come In any nearer as 'there was no; wharf. In- deed there was se =where on'that coast hetween Panama and San: Francisco th.ae a steamer' wauld. call at. We got a small boat and rowed out to Ithe .steamen to see if, we couldi 'get passagte on her. Three or four of us had money to pay oue pa,ssage out some of the others in our party had -spent all their money on the wey,up. I got all the money we bed in our party and tried to make a battlers with the purser to take us ell to Sa,n Francisco. I had to make atwO trips to the steamer 'oefore I could atrange with hint to take us all. Finaely he agreed to take us. I gave him all the money° we had,' and pledged my gun and watch. -We all got on board. safely tut 'the sun was very hot and as I had exposed myself too much I caught 'the malaria, ;ever ane was sick all the way up., We were ten days ort booed this tbeiat and a bard time:, we had. It was 'what is called a traanp vessel and the captain was just 'trying to make' all he could out ot the' trip regaedless of the feelings of his passengers. He was carrying men like a loadt of cat- ele. Nee had eo bed to lie on and no table to eat from. We just .lay down an 'the decks and for meals a, barrel of Ilea. ;biscuits and big dishes of salt, ifieat were set on: deck. The meat wag only 'half boiled and, was as tough _as sole leather. No one could eat it. The dishes were just brought end set down day after day with the same meat on them, At last some ot the passengers who had come up from Panama :became so angry; that they caught up dishes and all and pitched them overboard. Then they killed a live 'bullock,. which wee on board and. had it cooked. When the captain found out what had been done ee ran ep end down the deek swearing that he would put the man who killed the 'bullock in trona I ant afraid if he 'had done so he would have followed the dishes of meet. It is a death pen- alty for enyone to interfere with a captain on the high seas so no one eouce.ed him but. Some told him to his face 'that they would shoot him like a eat when they got him ashore, However ' wh.en the 'pilot came on. board at San Francisco he 'took a small boat and went ashore before we got into port and he kept in hiding until the passengers were all scat- tered. He was never able to leave San Francisco as his crew all left him for the mines. He got himselt into etome trouble at Sae Francisco 8,nd when I came back there ten months atberwards I saw *him 'in the chain gang with a iball at his foot. He seemed to have recelyed his reward 'We were ten days on that boat be- fore we got 'to Sae Francisco. We immediately took the boat for Sacra- mento. When we got there we etart- ed met for the *mines ae Nevada about 75 miles distant. We had just, one pakk 'horse. I was so very sick with the fever that I was not able to walk so they put me on tpe horse's back tut I was hat able to sit there and would 'have fallen if 'they had not caught me. They _got me to° a stop- ping place w'here they', succeeded, in getting me a bed but all the others had 'to eleep outside. As I was not able to move on with them in the morningand,as 'they were all " dead broke," they had to leave me and proceed on -their jotirney to the mines, My heaTt was in my inotith when they all left me, sick andt Withrla a. dollar. filet as theY were leavh-tg John; 01,fara oa,me running 'back ape said, come back for you."
