The Yarn That Was Spun by a Traw
eler In Australia,
An Auswrallan (raveler says that he
was one day walking in the thick
scrub,” collecting specimens, when he
came upon a large light brown snake,
a species of python, colled upon toe
ground. '
He was by far. the finest o 2 he had
pver seen at large, He wn'pmbubly
ten or twelve feet long and as thick
as a nmn's leg at the knee,
He looked savage enough (p devoura
man, and at tirst the collectpre fejt balf
inclined to run away. ,
He recovered hlwself, however, and
was ou the point of shootipg the ser
pent with a charge of dyst shot in
order to carry home his skin when It
occurred to him that be would be
worth five thmes as much if he were
taken alive,
“I had,” he says, “a leather strap
with a buckle In my gawme bag, and
with this 1 determined to noose the
sonke. - - -
“1 started toward him, but when 1
came near he partly uncolled, opened
his mouth very wide, thereby discios
g hiv sharp teeth, and, hisslng spite
fully, struck at me. 1 dodged behind
n small tree and, leaning out as far
w 8 1 dared, tried severnl times to
noose him, |
“After 1 had teased him for some
fime he suddenly started off at fall
epeed, 1 eaught my gun and by dlm‘
of haed running throngh the thick
serub managed to head him off, e
colled, and again [ tried the noose, hut ‘
he put his head under his coils in a
very sulky manner. I reached out from ‘
my shelter behind a tree and emight |
him by the tall, but he pulled away |
with great force and glided off awain,
“Fhis time he took refuge under a
fallen tree :ggzg‘l, before 1 could heml‘
him off was gliding down the hole of
gome wild anlmal,
vl renched the spot just as the last
teo or ihiee feet of his hedy were
dsappearivg, and, seizing his tall with |
both hands, .1 bung on dexperately.
With my {eet braced anwainst a limb
of the tree | pulled till the tail eracked |
and snapped as if it would break asun
der. Sometimes he puiled me to with
fn a sow inches of the hole, ard then
1 wou!d brace myself azainst the lim '
and drag him halfway out,
“At last | grew so tired that | had'
to let go my hold, avd with many re

Scarce divided life from death.

Nor scroll nor token met my sight |

Its name—tno late—for it had dled.
