Bv WASHINGTON IRVING.
Dolph was not; naturally a. coward;
but he had been brought up in an im-
plicit belief in ghosts and goblins. A
: thousand stories came swarming to his
mind, that; he had heard about; this.
building; and, as he looked at this
strange personage, with his uncouth
garb, his ale visage, his grizzly beard,
and his lxed, staring, fish like eye, his
teeth began to chatter, his hair to rise on
his head and a. cold sweat to break out
all over his body. How long he re-
mnined in this situation he could not
tell, for he was like one fascinated. lie
could not take his gaze of? from the spec—
ter; but lav staring at him with his
whole intellect absorbed in tho contem-
lation. Tltc old man remained seated
ehind the table without stirring or
turning an eye, always keeping a dead,
steady glare upon Dolph. At; length the
household cock from a neighboring
farm clapped his wings, and gave a loud
cheerful crow that rung over the fields.
At the sound the old man slowly rose
and took down his but from the peg; the
door opened and closed after rim; he
was heard to 'go slowly down the stair—
case—tram —-tram —tramp!~—and
when he ha got to 1 to bottom, all was
again silent. Dolph lay and listened.
earnest-1y; counted every footfall; lis-
tened and listened if the steps should ro-
turn—unt-il, exhausted by watching and
agitation, he fell into a troubled sleep.
Daylight again brought fresh courage
and assurance. He would fain have ,
considered all that had passed as {l more
dream; yet there stood the chair in
which the unknown had seated himself;
there was the table on which he had
leaned;therc was the peg on which he
door, locked precisely as he himself had
looked it, with the chair placed against
it. He hastened down stairs and exam-
ined the doors and windows; all were ex-
actly in the same state in which he had
left them, and there was no apparent
way by which any being could have on-
tered and left the house without leaving ‘
some trace behind. “Pooh!” said Dolph ‘
to himself, “it; was all a dream ;”——-but it;
would not do; the more he endeavored
to shake the scene off from his mind, tho
more it haunted him.
Though he persisted in a strict silence
as to all that Inc had seen or heard, yet
his looks betrayed the uncomfortable
night he had passed. It was evident
that there was something wonderful hid-
den under this mysterious reserve. The
doctor took him into his study, locked
the door and sought; to have a full and
confidential communication; but he
could get nothing out of him. Frau
Ilsy took him aside into the pantry, but
to as little purpose, and Peter do Groodt
held him by the button for a full hour in
the churchyard, the very place to get at
the bottom of a ghost story, but came off
not a whit wiser than the rest. It is al-
ways the. case, however, that one truth
concealed makes a, dozen current lies.
It is liken guinea. locked up in a bank,
that hand dozen paper representatives.
Before the day was over, the neighbor
hood was full of reports. Some said
that Dolph Heyligcr watched in the
haunted house with pistols loaded with
silver bullets; others that he had a long
talk with the specter without a head;
sexton had been hunted down the Bow-
ery lane and quite into town by a legion
of ghosts of their customers. Some
shame that the doctor should put Dolph
to pass the night alone in that dismal
house, where he might be spirited
away; no one knew whither; while
other-sobserved, with a shrug, that if the
devil did can 011‘ the youngster, it
would be but ' his own.
These rumors at len 11 reached the
ears of the good Dame eyliger, and, as
may be supposed, threw her into a terri’
hie alarm. For her son to have opposed
himself to danger from living foes would
have been nothing so dreadful in her
eyes as to dare alone the terrors of the
haunted house. She hastened to the doc-
tor’s, and passed a great art; of the day
in often: ting to dissuade olph from re-
peating 's vigil; she told him a. score of
tales, which he): gossiping friends had
'ust related to her, of persons who had
een carried off when watching alone in
old ruinous houses. It was all to no
effect. Dol h’s pride, as well as curiosity,
was piquec . he endeavored to calm the
apprehensions of his mother, and to as-
sure her that there was no truth in all
the rumors she had heard; she looked at
him dubiously and shook her head, but
finding his determination was not to be
shaken, she brou ht him a little thick
Dutch Bible, wit brass Clasps, to take
with him, as a sword wherewitb to fight
the powers of darkness; and, lest that
might not be sufficient, the housekeeper
gave him the Heidelberg catechism by
way of a. dag er.
The next ght, therefore, Dolph took
up his quarters for the third time in the
o d mansion. Whether dream. or not the
same thing was repeated. Towards mid-
night, when evgg‘thing was still, the
same sound ech through the empty
halls—tramp—tramp—tramp! The stairs
were again ascended; the door a air:
swung open; the old man entered, w ked
round the room, hung in his hat and
seated himself by the tab c. The same
fear and trembling came over poor
Dolph, though not in so violent a. degree.
He lay in the same way, motionless anti
fascinated, staring at the figure, which
regarded him as before, with a dead,
fixed, chilling gaze. In this way they
remained for a long time, till, by do.
grees, Dolph‘s courage began gradually
torevive. Whether alive or dead this
being had certainly some object in his
ytgtion; 3ndh he re llieigtcdnggavo

making two or three attéfififsibefbré he
could get his parched tohgue in motion,
he addressed the unknown in the most
solemn form of adjuratio'n that he could
recollect, and demanded. to ' knew what
was the motive of his visit.‘ ' ,_ I C,
No sooner had he finish, ‘ ,thanjthe 61:1,,
man rose, took down liis‘,hht,.,the door
opened and he went: out, locking back.
upon Dolph just as he crossed the thres-
hold, as ' expecting him to follow. The
oungster did not hesitate. an instant. .
9 took the candle in his hand and the
invitation. The candle emitted a feeble,
uncertain ray; but still he could see the
figure before him, slowly descend the
stairs. He followed, trembling. VVhen'
it had reached the bottom of the stairs it
turned through the hall toward the back
door of the mansion. Dolph held the
light over the balustrrades, but in his
eagerness to catch a sight of the un-
known hc flared his feeble taper so sud-
denly that it; went out. Still there was
sufficient light from the pale moon-
beams that fell through a. narrow win-
dow to give him an indistinct view of
the figure near the door. He followed,
therefore, down stairs and turned towards
the' place, but when he‘got there the un-
mnined fast barred and bolted; there was
no other mode of exit; yet the bein ,
whatever he might be, was gone. I e
unfastened the door and looked out into
the fields. It was a hazy, moonlight
night, so that the eye could distinguish
objects at some distance. He thought he
saw the unknown in a. footpath that led
from the door. He was not mistaken;
but how bad he got out of the house? He
did not pause to think, but followed on.
The old man proceeded at a measured
pace, without looking about him, his
ootsteps Sounding on the hard ground.
He passed through the orchard of apple
trees that stood near the house, always
keeping the footpath. It led to a well,
situated in a. little hollow, which had
so plied the farm with water. Just at
this well Dolph lost- sight of him. He
rubbed his eyes and looked again; but;
nothing was to be seen of the unknown.
He reached the well, but nobody was
there. All the surrounding ground was
men and clear; there was no bush nor
luding place. He looked down the well
and saw, at a great depth, the reflection
of the sky in the still water. After re-
maining hero for some time, without. see-
ing or hearin anything more of his
mysterious conductor, he returned to the
house full of awe and wonder. He .
bolted the door, grop'ed his we, ,back to
bed, and it was long.before no could
com schimself tosleep.1_* _, . . .
His dreams were strange and troubled.
He thought he waSIoIlowing the old man

the commander "of thovessel, a. short,
swarthy man, with crisped black hair, ',
blind of one eye and lame of one leg; but ‘
the rest of his dream was very confused.
Sometimes he was sailing; sometimes on
shore; now amidst storms and tempests, l
minnow no “n a 'etlvhmuiknmm i

strangoly fining ed up with the incidents
of the dream, and the whole distinctly
wound in by his finding himself on
board of 1; 1c vessel again, returning home
with a. great; bag of money!
Ithu ho woke the ay, cool light of
dawn was streaking t to horizon, and the
cocks passing tho reveil from farm to
farm throughout the country. He rose
more harassed and perplexed than over.
He was singularly confounded by all that
ho had seen and dreamt, and began to
(l0)..)t whether his mind was not: affected
aid whether all that was passing in his
thoughts might not bemere feverish fan-
tasy. In his present state of mind he
did not feel disposed to return immedi-
ately to the doctor’s and, undergo the
cross questioning of the household. He
made a scant-y. breakfast, therefore, on
the remains of the last night’s provisions,
and then wandered out into the fields to
meditate on all that had befalled him.
Lost in thought, he rambled about, grade
ually approncliinglthe town, until the
morning was for advanced, when he was
roused by a hurry and bustle around .
him. He found himself near the water’s
edge in a throng of people, hurrying to a
pier, where there was a vessel ready to
make sail. He was unconsciously car-
ried along by the impulse of the crowd,
and found that it was a. sloop, on the
clot of sailing up the Hudson to Al.
bony. There was much leave taking and
kissiu g of old women and children, and
rent activity in carrying on board bus:
'cts of bread and cakes and provisions of
all kinds, 110twithstanding,thc mighty
joints of meat that dangled over the
stern. for a voyage to Albany was an ex-
pedition of great moment in those days.
The commander of the sloop was hurry-
ing about and giving a. world of orders,
which were not very strictly attended to,
one man bein busy in lighting his pipe
and another in sharpening his snicker-
succ.
The appearance of the commander sud-
denly caught Dolph's attention. He was
short and swart-hy, with crispcd black
hair; blind of one eye and lame of one
leg-tho very commander that ho had
seen in his dream! Surprised and aroused,
he considered the scene more attentively
and recollect still further traces of his
dream; the appearance of the vessel, of
the river, and of a. variety of other ob-
jects accorded with the imperfect images
vaguely rising to recollection.
As he stood musing on these circum-
stances the captain suddenly called out
to him in Dutch, "Stop on board, young
man, or you’ll be left behind!” He won
startled by the summons; he saw that;
tho sloop was cast loose and was actually
moving from nine pier; it seemed as if he
was actuated by some irresistible im~
pulse; he sprain": upon the deck, and the
next moment the sloop was hurried Cif
by the wind and tide. Dolph's thoughts
and feeling: were all in tumult and con-
fusion. Ho 12.111 been strongly worked
upon by the events that had recently he.-
fnllcn him, and could not but think that
there was some connection between his
)rcscnt; situation and his last night‘s
'eam. He felt as if he was under 571-
pcrnutural influence, and he tried to as-
sure himself with an old and favorite
maxim of his, that “One way or other,
all would turn out; for the best.” For a
moment the indignation of the doctor at:
his departure without leave passed across
his mind, but that was matter of little
moment. Then he thought of the dis-
tress of his mother at his strange disa -
peril-mice, and the idea. gave him a su
den pang: he would have entrcatcd to be
put on shore, but he knew with such
wind and tide the entreuty would have
been in vain. Then the inspiring love of
novelty and adventure came rushingin
full tide through his bosom; he felt him-
self Iatmchcd strangely and suddenly on
the world, and under full way to explore
the regions of wonder that. lay up this
mighty river, and beyond those blue
mountains that had bounded his horizon
since childhood. While he was lost in
this whirl of thought the sails strained to
the breeze; the shores seemed to hurry
away behind him, and before he per-
fectly recovered his self possession the
sloop was plowing her way past Spiking
Devil and Yonkers, and the tallest chim-
ney of the Manhattoes had faded from
his sight.
I have said that; a voyage up the End:
son in those days was an undertaking of
some moment; indeed, it was as much
thought of as a. voyage to Europe is at
present. The sloops were often many
days on the way, the cautious navigators
taking in sail when it blew fresh, and
coming to anchor at night, and stopping
to send the boat ashore for milk for tea,
without which it was impossible for the
worthy old lady passengers to subsist.
And there were the much talked of erils
of the Tappaan Zoo and the highlan s. In
short, a prudent Dutch burger would
talk of such a voyage for months, and
even years, beforehand; and never un-
dertook it without; putting his affairs in
order, making his will, and having ray-
ers said for him in the Low tch
churches. - ‘
In the course of such a voyage, there-
fore, Dolph was satisfied he would have
time enough to reflect, and to make up
his mind as to what he should do when
he arrived at Albany. The captain, with
his blind eye and lame leg, would, it is
true, bring his strange dream to mind,
and perplcx him sadly for a. few mo-
;ments; but, of late, his life had been
made up so much of dreams and realities,
his nights and days had been so jumbled
together, that; he seemed to be moving
continually in a. delusion. There is al-
ways, howevcr, a kind of yagabond con-
solation in a man’s having nothing in this
world to lose; with this Dolph comforted
his heart, and determined to make the
most of the present enjoyment.
In the second day of the voyage they
came to the highlands. It; was the latter
part of a cahn, sultry: day, that they
floated gently with the tide between these
stern mountains. There was-that perfect
quiet which-prevails over. nature in- the
lauguor of summer heat; the turning of
a. plank or the accidental falling, of an
oar on deck, was echoed from the mourn-
tain side and reverberated along the
shores; and if by chance the captain gave-
a.’ shout of command, there were air
tongues that mocked it from over Chg
Dolph gazed about him in mute elight
'and wonder at these scenes of nature’s
magnificence. To the left the Dunder-
berg rcared its woody precipiccs, height
over height, forest over forest, away into
the deep summer sky. To the right strut-
ted forth the bold promontory of An-
thony’s Nose, with a solitary eagle wheel-
ing about it; while beyond, mountain
succeeded to motmtain, until they seemed
to look their arms together, and confine
this mighty river in their embraces.
There was a feeling of quiet luxury in
gazing at the broad, green bo‘soms here
and there scooped out; among the preci.
piccs; or at woodlands high in air, nod-
ding over the edge of some beetling bluff,
and their foliage all transparent in the
yellow sunshine.
In the midst of his admiration Dolph
remarked a pile of bright, snowy clouds
peering above the western heights. It
was succeeded by another, and another,
each seemingly pushing onwards its re-
dccessor, and towering, with dazz ' g
brilliancy, in the deep blue atmosphere;
and now muttering perils of thunder were
faintly hoard rolling behind the moun-
tains. The river, hitherto still and glassy,
reflecting pictures of the sky and land,
now showed a. dark ripple at a distance,
as the breeze came creeping up it. The
fish hawks wheeled and screamed, and
sought their nests on the high dry trees;
the crows flow clamorously to the crev-
ices of the rocks, and all nature seemed
conscious of the approaching thunder
gust.
The clouds now rolled in volumes over
the mormtain tops; their summits still
bright and snowy, but the lower parts of
an inky blackness. The rain began to
putter down in broad and scattered dro s;
the wind freshcned and curled up t Q
waves; at length it seemed as if the bel-
lyiug clouds were torn open by the moun-
tain tops, and complete torrents of rain
came rattling down. The lightning
leaped from cloud to cloud, and streame
quivering against the rocks, splitting and
tending the stoutcst forest trees. The
thunder burst in tremendous explosions;
the pools were echoed from mountain to
mountain; they crashed upon Dunder-
berg, and rolled up the long defile of the
highlands, each headland making a. new
echo, until old Bull hill seemed to bellow
back the storm.
For a time the scudding rack and mist,
and the sheeted rain, almost hid the
landscape from the sight. There was a
fearful gloom, illumined still more fear-
fully by the streams of lightning which
littered amon the rain drops. Never
ad Dolph behe (i such an absolute ware
ring of the elements; it seemed as if the
storm was tearing and tending its way
through this mountain defile, and had
brought all the artillery of heaven into
action.
The vessel was hurried on by the in-
creasing wind, until she came to where
the river makes a. sudden bend, the only
one in the whole course of its majestic
career. .~I;ne2m.lhcxill.m0dlhn1,919,153

a mountain gully, bending the forest be-
fore it, and, in a moment, lashing up the
river into white froth and foam. The
captain saw the danger and cried out to
lower the sail. Before the order could be
' obeyed, the flaw struck the sloop, and
threw her on her beam ends. Everything
was now fright and confusion; the flap-
iug of the soils, the whistling and rush-
tain and crew, the shrieking of the pas-
sengers, all mingled with the rolling and
bellowing of the thunder. In the midst
of tho uproar. the sloop rightcd; at;
othc same time the main sail shifted. the
and Dolph, who was gazing unguardcdly
at the clouds, found himself, in a mo-
ment, floundering in the river.
For once in his life, one of his idle ac-
complishments was of use to him. Tho
many truant hours which he had dc-
votod to {sporting in the Hudson, had
made him an export swimmer; yot,with
all his strength and skill, he found great.
difficulty in reaching the shore. His
disappearance from the deck had not
been noticed by the crew, who were. all
occupied by their own danger. The
sloop was driven along with inconceiva-
ble rapidity. She had hard work to
weather a long iromontory on the cast-
ern shore, rounc which the river turned,
and which completely shut her from
Dolph's view.
' It was on a point of the western shore
that he landed, and, scrambling up the
rocks, he threw himself, faint and ex-
hausted, at the foot of a tree. By de-
grees the thunder gust passed over. The
clouds rolled away to the cast, where.
they lay piled in feathery masses, tinted
with the last rosy rays of the sun. The
distant play of the lightning might be
seen about; the dark bases, and now and
then might be heard the faint muttering
of the thunder. Dolph rose, and sought
about; to see if any path led from the
shore; but all was savage and tracklcss.
The rocks were piled upon each other;
great trunks of trees lay shattered about,
as they had been blown down by the
strong winds which draw through these
mountains, or had fallen through ago.
The rocks, too, were overhung with
wild vines and bricrs, which completely
matted themselves together, and opposed
a barrier to all ingress; every movement
that he made shook down a shower from
the dripping foliage. Ho attempted to
scale one of those almost perpendicular
heights; but, though strong and agile,
he found it an Herculean undertaking.
Often ho was supported merely by
crumbling projections of the rock, and
sometimes to clung to roots and branches
of trees, and hung almost snispcudcd in
the air. The wood pigeon came cleav-
ing his whistling flight, by him, and the
eagle screamed from the brow of the im—
pcnding cliff. Ashe was thus clnmbcr-
ing, he was on the point of seizing hold
of a. shrub to aid his ascent, when some-
thing rustlcd among the leaves, and he
saw a snake quivering along like light-
ning, almost from under his hand. It-
coiled itself up immediately, in an atti-
tude of defiance, with flattened head,
distended jaws. and quickly vibrating
tongue, that played like a little flame
about its mouth. Dolph‘s heart turned
faint within him, and he had well nigh
let go his hold, and tumbled down the
precipice. The serpent stood on the dc-
fensive but for an instant; it was an Ill<
stinctivc movement of defense; and find-
ing there was no attack, it glided away
into a. cleft of the rock. Dolph‘s cyo fol—
lowed with fearful intensity; and he saw
at a. glance that he was in the vicinity
of a nest of adders. that lay knotted, and
writhing, and hissing in the chasm. Ho
hastened with all speed to escape from
so frightful a neighborhood. His imag-
ination was full of this new horror; he
saw an adder in every curling vine, and
heard the tail of a. rattlesnake in every
dry leaf that rustled.
At length he succeeded in scrambling
to the summit; of a precipice; but it was
covered by a. dense forest. I‘t7hc-revc1'
he could gain a lookout between the
trees, he saw that the coast rose in
heights and cliffs, 0110 rising beyond an-
other, until huge mountains overtopped
the whole. There were no signs of cu1<
tivation, nor any smoke curling amongst
the trees, to indicate a human residence.
Everything was wild and solitary. As
he was standing on the edge of a. preci-
icc that overlooked a. deep ravine
fringed with trees, his feet detached a
great fragment of rock; it fell. crashing
its way through the tree tops, down into
the chasm. A loud whoop, or rather
yell, issued from the bottom of the glen;
the moment after, there was the report
of a gun; and a ball came whistling over
his head, cutting the twigs and leaves,
and burying itself (loop in the bark of a.
chestnut tree.
Dolph (lid not wait for a second shot,
but made a precipitate retreat; fearing
every moment to hear the enemy in pur—
suit. He succeeded, however, in return-
ing unmolcsted to the shore, and deter-
mined to penetrate no farther into ~ :1
country so beset with savage perils.
He sat himself down, drippmg, discon-
solately, on a. wet stone. \Vhat was to
ho done? IVherc was he to shelter him-
self? The hour of repose was approach-
ing; the birds were seeking their nests;
the bat began to flit about in the twi-
light, und the night-hawk soaring high
in heaven, seemed to bc calling out the
stars. Night gradually closed in and
wrapped everything in gloom; and
' though it was the latter part of summer,
yet the breeze, stealing along the river,
and among these dripping forests, was
" chilly and penetrating, especially to a
half drowned man.
As he sat drooping and dcspondcnt in
this comfortlcss condition, be perceived
to light gleaming through the trees near
the shore, where the winding of the river
made a deep bay. It cheered him with
the hopes that here might be some human
habitation,wherc he might get something
to appease the clamorous cravings of his
stomach, and, what: was equally neces-
sary in his shipwrecked condition, a
comfortable shelter for the night. It was
with extreme difficulty that he made his
way toward-3 the light, along ledges of
rocks down which he was in danger of
sliding into the river, and over great
trunks of fallen trees, some of which had
been blown down in the late storm, and
lay so thickly together that he had to
struggle through their branches. At
length he came to the brow of clock that
overhung a small dell, from whence the
light proceeded. It was from a fire at
the foot of a. great tree that stood in the
midst of a, grassy interval or plat among
the rocks. The the cast u a red glare
among tho gray Cl‘ilgS an impending
trees, leaving chasm-i of deep gloom that
resembled entrances to caverns. A small
brook rippled close by, betrayed by the
quivering reflection of the flame. There
were two figures moving about tho 1er
and others squatted before it. As they
were between him and the light they
wore in complete shadow; but. one of
them happening to move round to the
opposite side, Dolph was startled at per-
ceiving, by the fund glare falling on
painted features and glittering on silver
ornaments, that he was an Indian. He
now looked more narrowly, and saw
guns leaning against a tree and a. dead
body lying on the ground.
Dolph began to doubt whether he was
not in a worse condition than before;
here was the ver foe that had fired at
him from the g on. He endeavored to
retreat quietly, not caring to intrust
himself to these half human beings in so
savage and lonely in place. It wastoo
late. {the Indian, with that eagle quick.-
ncss of eye so remarkable in his race,
orccived something stirring among the
ashes on the rock. Ho seized one of
the guns that leaned against the tree; one
moment more, and Dolph might have
had his passion for adventure cured by a
bullet. He hallooed loudly with the n-
dian' salutation of friendship; the whole
party sprang upon their feet; the saluta-
tion was returned, and the straggler was
invited to join them at the fire. _
. 0n approaching he found, to his con-
solation, that the party was composed of
white men as well as Indians. One, who
was evidently the principal personage or
commander, was seated on the trunk of
a tree before the fire. He was a large,
stout man, somewhat advanced in life,
but halo and hearty. His face was
bronzcd almost to the color of an In-
mania; he ..lin£lst_r_0_1_12 but ..ra.tl.ierJ0_...fia1
mg of the wind, the bowling of the cap- t
boom came sweeping the quarter deck, ,
Rand—cs. Eon z'ujiii‘ilno’nfi and n. ’L‘nout‘li
shaped like a mastifi‘s. His face was
half thrown in shad , g..broad hat
with abuck’s—tail in it, __s gray hair
hung short in his neck? He wore a.
hunting frock, with Indian leggings,
and moccasins, and a tomahawk in the
broad wampuui belt round his waist.
As Dolph caught a distinct view of his
person and features, he was struck with
something that reminded him of the old
man of the haunted house. The man
before him, however, was different in
‘ his dress arrange; he was more cheery,
too, in his aspect, and iiawas hard to de-
fine where the vague G‘semblanco lay—-
buts. resemblance there certainly was.
Dolph felt some degree of awe in up-
proaching him; but was assured by the
frank, hearty welcome «with which he
was received. As be cast his‘eycs about,
too, he was still further encouraged by
perceiving that the deatlfbody, which
had caused him some alaflngwas that of
:1. door; and his satisfaction was complete
in discerning, by the savory stems
which issued from a kettle suspended by
a hooked stick over the fire, that-Etherc
war; a part cooking for it? evening’s re-
pa. ,_
He now found that he ,Itadfgllen in
with scrambling hunting party, such as
often took place in those days among the
settlers along the river. sThez-lmnteris
always hospitable; and nbthing'makes
men, more social and uncer‘gmonious than
meeting in the wilderness. The com-
mander of the party poured him out a
drum of cheering liquor, which he gave
him with a merry leer, to warm his
heart; and ordered one of his followers
to fetch some garments‘n’rom a pinnace,
which was moored in a cove close by,
while those in which our hero was drip-
ping might be dried before the fire.
Dolph found, as he had suspected, that
the shot from the glen, which had come
so near giving him his quictus when on
the precipice, was from the party before
him. He had nearly crushed one of
them by the fragment of rock which he
had detached; and tho jovial old hunter,
in the broad hat and bucktail, had fired
at the place where he saw the bushes
move, supposing it to be some Wild ani-
mal. He laughed heartily at the blun-
der; it bcin what; is considered an ex-
ceeding goo joke among hunters; “ but,
faith, my lad,” said be, “if fluid but
caught a glimpse of you to take sight at,
you would have followed the rock. An-
tony Vander Heydcn is seldom known to
miss his aim.” These last words were at
once a. clew to Dolph’s curiosity; and
a few questions led him completely
into the character of the man be;
fore him, and of his band of woodland
rangers. The commander in the broad
but and hunting frock was no less a per‘
sonage than the Hcer Antony Vander
Hoydcn, of Albany, of whom Dolph had
many a time board. He was, in fact,
the hero of many a story, being a man of
singularhumors and whimsical habits,
that; were matters of wonder to his quiet
Dutch neighbors. As he was a. man of
property, having had a father before
rim, from whom he inherited large
tracts of wild land, and whole barrels
full of wampum, he could indulge his
humors without control. Instead of
staying quietly at home, eating and
drinking at regular meal times, amusing
himself by smoking his pipe on the
bench before the door, and then turning
into a comfortable bed at night, he dc-
lig'hted in all kinds of rough, wild ex-
peditious. He was never so happy as
when on a. hunting party in the wilder-
ness, sleeping under trees or bark sheds,
or cruising down the river, or on some
woodland lake, fishing and fowling, and
living the Lord knows how.
He was a great friend to Indians, and
to an Indian mode of life; which be con-
sidered true natural liberty and man]
enjoyment. \Vhen at home hchada -
ways several Indian hangers on, who
loitercd about his house, sleeping like
hounds in the sunshine, or preparing
hunting and fishing tackle for some new
expedition, or shooting at marks with
bows and arrows.
Over these vagrant beings Heer An-
tony had as perfect command us a hunts-
mau over his pack; though they were
great nuisances to the regular people of
his neighborhood. As he was a rich
man no one ventured, to thwart his
hounors; indeed, he had a. hearty, joyous
mmmer about him that made him uni-
vorsally popular. He would troll a
Dutch song, as he trumped along the
street; hail'evcry one a. mile off; and
when he entered a. house he would slap
the good man familiarly on the back,
shake him by1the hand till he roared and
kiss his wife and daughters before his
face—in short, there was no pride nor
ill luunor about; Hecr Antony.
Besides his Indian hangers on he had
three or four humble friends among the
white men, who looked up to him as a
patron, and had the run of his kitchen,
and the favor of being taken with him
occasionally on his expeditions. It was
with a medley of such retainers that he
was at‘present on a cruise along the
shores of the Hudson, in a pinnace which
he kept for his own recreation. There
were two white men with him, dressed
partly in the Iudian style, with moccasins
and hunting shirts; the rest of his crew
consisted of four favorite Indians. They
had been prowling about the river, with-
out; any definite object, until they found
themselves in the highlands; where they
had passed two or three days, hunting
the. (.esr which still lingered among these
mountains.
“It is a lucky circumstance, young
man,” said Antony Vander Heydcn,
“that you happened to be knocked over-
board today, as to-morrow morning we
start early on our return homewards, and
you might then have looked in vain for
a meal among the mountains—but come,
lads, stir about! stir about! Let’s see what
)I‘Og we have for supper; the kettle has
Joiletl long enouwh; my stomach cries
cupboardmnd l’lI warrant our guest is
it; no mood to dally with his trencher.”
There was a beesile now in the little
encampment. One took ofi“ the kettle,
and turned a part (if the contents into a
huge wooden bowl; another pre ared a
flat rock forntable; whilea third taught;
various utensils from the pinnace, which
was moored close by; and Heer Antony
himself brought aflask or two of precious
liquor from his own private locker—know-
ing his boon companionstoo well to trust
any of them' with the key.
A rude but hearty rcpast was soon
spread; consisting of venison smok-
ing from the kettle, with cold
bacon, boiled Indian corn, and
mighty loaves of good brown house-
hold brcad. Never had Dolph made
a more delicious rcpast; and when he had
washed it down with two or three
droughts from the Beer Antony’s flask,
and felt the {plly liquor sending its
warmth throng his veins, and glowing
round his very heart, he would not have
changed his situation, no, with the gov-
ernor of the province.
The Hecr Antony, too, grew chirping
and joyous: told half a dozen fat stories,
at which his white followers laughed im-
modcratcly, though the Indians, as usual,
maintained an invincible gravity.
“This is your (true life, my boy!”
“This is your true life, my boy,”
said he, slapping Dolph on the shoulder;
“a man is never a man till he can defy
wind and weather, range woods and
wilds, sleep under utrcc, and live on bass
wood loaves!” '
1-1111 then would he sing a. stave. or two
of a Dutch drinkin song, swayinga short
equal) Dutch bott e in his lian , while
his; inyrmidons would join in chorus, un-
til the woods echoed again—as the good
old song has it:
They all with a shout. made the elements ring.
80 soon as the office wnso‘er; '
To feasting they went with true men'iment,
And tipplcd strong liquor gillore.
In the midst of his jovialty, however,
Hecr Antony did not lose sight of dis-
cretion. Though he pushed the bottle
without reserve to D01 h, yet he :11sz
took care to help his ollowcrs himse ,
knowing the beings he had to deal with;
and he was particular in granting but a.
moderate allowance to the Indians. The
ropast being ended, the Indians haying
drunk 1112i; .liqmrxnndjmmied. their
pipes, now mapped themselverm'mm
lankets, stretched themselves "0 the
ground with their feet to the fire, and
soon fell asleep, like so many tired
hounds. The rest of the ‘ remained
chatting before the fire, w 'ch_the loom
of the forest and the dampness of t e air
from the late storm rendered extremely
grateful and comforting. The conversa~
tron gradually moderated from the hilar~
ity of, suppertime, and turned upon
hunting adventures and exploits and
penis in the wilderness, many of which
were so strange and im robable that I
will not venture to re ca. them, lest the
veracity of Antony ' under Heyden and
his comrades 'should be brought into
question. There were many legendary
tales told also about the river and the
settlements on its borders; in which val-
uable kind of lore the Heer Antony
seemed deeply versed. As the sturdy
bush beater satin the twisted root of a
tree that served him for a kind of arm
chair, dealing forth these wild stories,
with the fire gleaming on his strongly
marked visage, Dolph was again re eat.
eddy pe lexed by something the. 5 re-
minded rim of the phantom of,tho
haunted house; some vague resemblance
that could not; be fixed upon any precise
feature or lincament, but which pervaded '
the general air of his countenance and
figure.
The moon had just: raised her silver
horns above the round back of old ‘ Bull
hill, and lit tap the gray rocks and shagged
forests, an glittered on the waving
bosom of the river. The night dew‘was
falling, and the late gloomy mountains
began to soften and put on a gra a ' l
tint in the dewy h ht. Thejuggb
stirred the fire, and t ew on fresh fuel
to qualify the dam of the night. air.
They then preparer a bed of branches
and dry leaves under a. ledge of rocks
for Dolph; while Antony Vandcr Hey-
den. wrap ing himself 11 in a huge coat
made of 9 ’ins. stretche himself before
the fire. It was some time, however,
before Dolph could close his eyes. He
lay contemplating the strange scene be-
fore him: the wild woods and rocks
around—1:110 fire, throwing fitful gleams
on the faces of the sleeping savages——
and the Hecr Antony, too. who so
singularly, yet vaguely, reminded him
of the nightly visitant to the haunted
house. Now and then he heard the cry
of some animal from the forest, or the
booting of the owl, or the notes of the
whip-poor-will, which seemed to abound
among these solitudcs, or the splash of a.
sturgeon, leaping out of the river, and
falling back full length on its placid sur-
face. He contrasted all this with his
accustomed nest in the garret room of
the doctor‘s mansion, where the only
sounds he heard at night were the church
clock tellin the hour, the drowsy voice
of the \vatc iman, drawling out all was
well; the deep snoring of the doctor‘s
clubbed nosc from below stairs, or the
cautious labors of some carpenter rat
gnawing in the wainscot. His thoughts
then wandered to his poor old mother;
what would she think of his mysterious
disappearance? what anxiety and distress
won (1 she not suiifcr? This was the
thought that would continually intrude
itself, to mar his present enjoyment. It
brought with it a feeling of pain and
compunction, and he fell asleep with the
tears yet standing in his eyes.
\Vcro this a. more tale of fancy, here
would be a. fine opportunity for weaving
in strange adventures among these wild
mountains and roving hunters; and,
after involving my hero in a variety of
perils and difficulties. rescuing him from
them all by some miraculous contriv-
ance; but as this is absolutely a true
story, I must content myself with facts
and keep to robabilitics.
At an ear y hour the next day. there-
fore, after a. hearty morning’s meal, the
encampment broke up and our adven-
turers embarked in the ninnace of An-
tony Vander- Heyden. There being no
wind for the sails, the Indians rowed her
gently along, keeping time to a kind of
chant of one of the white men. The day
was serene and beautiful; the river with-
out a. wave; and as the vessel cleft the
glassy water it; left a. long, undulatin
track ' behind. The crows, who hat
scented the hunters’ banquet, were al-
ready gatherinrr and hovering in the air,
just where a. co umn of thin, blue smoke,
rising from among the trees, showed the
place of their last night’s quarters. As
they coasted along the bases of the moun-
tains, the Beer Antony pointed out to
Dolph a. bald eagle, the sovereign of these
regions, who sat; perched on a. dry tree
that projected over the river; and, with
eye turned upwards, seemed to be drink-
ing in the splendor of the morning sun.
Their approach disturbed the monarch’s
meditations. He first spread one wing
and then the other, balanced himself for
a. moment, and then, quitting his perch
with dignified composure, wheeled
slowly over their heads. Dolph snatched
u a. gun and sent a. whistling ball after
hun, that cut some of the feathers from
his wing; the repprt of the gun leaped
sharply from me ' to rock and awakened
athousand echoes; but the monarch of
the air sailed calmly on, ascending higher
and higher, and wheeling widely as he
ascended, soaring up the green bosom of
the woody mountain, until he disap-
peared over the brow of a. beetling reci-
pice. Dolph felt in a. manner re uked
ythis proud tron uillity, and almost re-
roached himself or havin so wantonly
insulted this majestic bir . Heer An-
tony told him, laughin , to remember
that he was not; yet out o the territories
of the lord of the Dunderber , and an
old Indian shook his head . observed
that there was bad luck in killing an
eagle-the hunter, on the contrary,
shoiigd always leave him a portion of his
spo .
Nothing, however, occurred to molest
them on their voyage. They passed
pleasantly through magnificent and
onely scenes, until they came to where
Pollopol’s Island lay, like a. floating
bower, at the extremity of the highlands.
Here they landed, until the heat of the
day should abate or a. breeze spring up
that might supersede the labor of the
our. Some prepared the midday meal,
while others reposed undenthe shade of
the trees in luxurious summer indole'nce.
looking drowsily forth upon the beauty
of the scene. On the one side were the
highlands, vast and craggcd, feathered
to the to with forests and throwing
their sha ows on the glassy water that
dimpled at their feet. 0n the other side
was a wide expanse of the river, like a.
broad lake, with long, sunny reaches
and green headlands, and the distant line
of Shawn, ng'unk mountains waving 81017;:
a clear horizon or checkered by a. fleecy
cloud.
But I forbeur to dwell on tho particu-
lars of their cruise along the river; this
vagrant, amphibious life, carcering across
silver sheets of water; coasting wild
woodland shores; banqueting on shady
promontories, with the spreading tree
overhead, the river curling its light foam
to one’s feet, and distant mountain, and
rock, and tree, and snowy cloud, and
deep blue sky, n11 mingling in summer
beauty before one; all this, though never
cloying in the enjoyment, would be but
techousmmrration. I
