As a contrast to this, we cannot resist the pleasure of laying before our readers the following striking description of night on the Orinoco, in the placid part of its course, amidst the vast forests of the tropical regions:-
"The night was calm and serene, and a beautiful moon shed a
radiance over the scene. The crocodiles lay extended on the sand;
placed in such a manner that they could watch our fire, from which
they never turned aside their eyes. Its dazzling evidently
attracted them, as it does fish, crabs, and the other inhabitants
of the waters. The Indians pointed out to us in the sand the
recent marks of the feet of three tigers, a mother and two young,
which had crossed the open space between the forest and the water.
Finding no tree upon the shore, we sank the end of our oars into
the sand, in order to form poles for our tents.
