He was a beautiful rider, and carried a small stock-whip, a weapon which, like the finished swordsman of old, he would seldom use. He never varied in his dress or address. There was something soothing in his Slow voice, but some times - very seldom - his remarks were not exactly coherent. Perhaps this was owing to his solitary life - the life of his choice. Every year-we think it was every year - he would take a month's holiday, sometimes riding Off to the capital on his horse, sometimes by Coach. What he did with himself on these occasions was not quite Clear. On one of them he informed me he went to Tasmania to see the caves, but finding his bush dress and manners not suitable to some fine company in which he found himself, took careful pencil notes of the Clothing of a member of the party, purchasing exactly Similar articles as near as he could remem ber from neck-tie to hat, and restricting himself to one single ornamental cup of tea who had been used to swig from his capacious billy-can. He also, he said, Stopped himself in a habit he had of running down everything he saw, as it seemed to worry the party For the time, he would half sadly reflect, he seemed to pass comparatively well as a sort of harmless companionable joker.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Young Voyageurs Boy Hunters in the North by William Harvey The Fur Countries. Boy reader, you have heard of the Hudson’s Bay Company? Ten to one, you have worn a piece of fur, which it has provided for you; if not, your pretty little sister has—in her muff, or her boa, or as a trimming for her winter dress. Would you like to know something of the country whence come these furs?—of the animals whose backs have been stripped to obtain them? As I feel certain that you and I are old friends, I make bold to answer for you—yes. Come, then! let us journey together to the “Fur Countries;” let us cross them from south to north.
