A FOREST ON FIRE.
PART I.
We were sound asleep one night, when, about two hours before day, the
snorting of our horses and lowing of our cattle, which were ranging in
the woods, suddenly awoke us.
I took my rifle and went to the door to see what beast had caused the
hubbub, when I was struck by the glare of light reflected on all the
trees before me, as far as I could see through the woods.
My horses were leaping about, snorting loudly, and the cattle ran among
them in great confusion.
