IlorribU Embrace. The" following ter-
rific narative k given by a slaver: I had
taken a hasty leap over a s-iaall rut and
alighting on something soft and slippery
fell prostrate. Ere I could recover my-
self I feft sontetnmg twist round my body
and roll mc over and over. In a moment
ft occurred to Hie that I w as within the
folds ofa serpent I was squcerd
rightly that I had oi.It ti-ne to gv. e .ie
loud scream for assistance and intuit i.rlj
raised my arm upward- in l!ie endea r
to defend m head viA face ; being aware
from what 1 had heard front others thai
the serpent would endeavor to make a
twist round my neck. I could hear the
monster hissing and playing tus head
round my face but could uK see either
through pain or horror at my situation.
I gradually felt my ribs bcuding beneath
his cruel gripe and imagined that aU was
over with me when to my mejcpresstble
relief I heard the voices of my fheodUvone
of whom with his cutlass at one blow sev-
ered the monster's head from it's body.
It still however held me firm in its gripe.
I but speedily two or three of my faithful at-
trnilunts threw themselves on the tail part
(if the animal whilst another cut about
two feet off from its extremity. Instantly
I felt relieved hw qite unable to stand
