Nature and Culture 6i 



who does not fear the enemies of peaceful tribes 

 like himself, but who, on the contrary, delights in 

 offering them combat. He is the universal knight- 

 errant, the defender of the innocent and the defense- 

 less. Crusoe of Alpha Cassiopeia! I am gazing 

 up at the sun which bathes your enchanted and 

 solitary island, and I am fully resolved to pay you 

 a visit as soon as I receive my spiritual body. I 

 think you will like me, as I know I shall love you. 

 You will find me a good shot at wolf, and an expert 

 fisherman for sharks and devil-fish, and a good, 

 hearty hater of all persecutors of the innocent. We 

 will gather blueberries and wild rice together. 

 Ah! your sun is dipping behind our pines. Good 

 night, old fellow! Auf wiedersehen!
