CHAPTER XXIX. 



AMERICA. THE NATIVE LAND. PURCHASE A HOUSE 

 IN TEXAS. JOURNEY TO BROWN'S HOLE. THE 

 FARMER AND THE HUNTER. CONCLUDING 

 PICTURE. 



BIDDING Mr. Barrill an affectionate farewell, I stepped 

 aboard the steamer, and the same day, she put out from 

 the harbor of Liverpool. During the first day of the 

 voyage, I felt extremely lively. I had been constantly 

 in company with my amiable friend for so many months, 

 that when I remembered that I had parted from him, per- 

 haps forever, I felt somewhat desolate. But the various 

 incidents of the voyage, and the necessity of considering 

 the course to be pursued after arriving in America, di- 

 verted my mind, although I could not believe that the 

 memory of my friend could ever relinquish its hold upon 

 Jr.y heart.
