 the cane. Whenever he meets with water, or 

 mud, he will wallow in it and refresh himself 

 considerably. I have known them to stop in 

 lakes, small tanks, or other stagnant water that 

 has had grass or leaves on its surface, and hide 

 themselves so completely, by keeping their 

 bodies under water, with their snouts only above 

 among the leaves, that no person could have 

 discovered them who did not see them go into it 

 and lie down, and I am confident they often 

 escape from their pursuers by such means.
