Excerpt from Nights on the Rio Paraguay, Scenes of War and Charactersketches

The remembrance Of the calm moonlight nights, which, ten years ago, I spent on the forest - fringed banks Of the Rio Paraguay, one of the stateliest of the rivers of South America, will always remain indelibly impressed upon my soul.

Every evening, toward 44 o'clock, at a place where a mighty Arahan spread its branches, laden with delicious fruit, over the edge Of the steep bank, I descended to the narrow strip Of shore, some fifty feet below, to disrobe and to refresh and cool my heated body In the transparent flood.
