234 Life of Audubon. 



Colonel Rees informed me that this charming retreat 

 was one of the numerous terra incognita of this region ol 

 lakes, and that it should henceforth bear the name of 

 ' Audubon's Isle.' 



" In conclusion, let me inform you that the spring has 

 now been turned to good account by my generous host, 

 Colonel Rees, who, aided by my amiable companion the 

 engineer, has directed its current so as to turn a mill 

 which suffices to grind the whole of his sugar-cane."
