BEING LOST IN THE FOREST. 53 
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell 
in the uttermost parts of the sea ; even there 
shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand 
shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness 
shall cover me ; even the night shall be light 
about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from 
thee ; but the night shineth as the day: 
the darkness and the light are both alike to 
thee." 
The soldier continued wandering about in 
the forest some days longer, but did not meet 
with any more adventures worth relating. 
He became so weak, that at last he could not 
climb the trees, but lay down at the foot of 
one of tliem, and sank into a deep sleep. 
Here he was found by some natives, who had 
come into the jungle, to look for their cattle, 
that were gone astray. They roused him 
from his sleep ; but he was not able to stand, 
and seemed as if he had lost his senses. They 
carried him away to the hospital ; and every 
attention was paid to him. He slowly recovered 
his reason and his health ; and when he was 
quite well, related his marvellous escapes in 
the forest, as I have related them to you.
