A Trip to the Upper Demerara. 283 
I held it in the dark, placed my finger in thecentre of it, and 
saw the light on both sides, called theattention of the others 
to it, and at last became convinced that something or 
other was causing a certain portion of these dead and 
withered forest leaves lying underneath us> and for a short 
distance around us, to glow with a distinctly visible light. 
It was sufficiently interesting to cause one to lie pondering 
over the strangeness of the matter, during the remainder 
of the night. 
At daybreak we resumed our route to the Mission, 
and by noon we were leaving Eneyudah and the Great 
Falls behind us on our return homewards.
