30 AND PAUT COMPANY. 



I appointed the mate to be maitre de chasse, 

 and entrusted him with one of the Terry's 

 rifles, and a single-barrelled shot-gun, with lots 

 of powder, shot, caps, and cartridges ; we then 

 parted company, and proceeded to make our- 

 selves as comfortable as circumstances would 

 admit of on board the sloop.
