While thus waiting, his monstrous assailant, which must have been lurking nearby in the woods, waiting for a chance to catch one of the adventurers unprepared, came silently up from behind, walking with long, noiseless steps, and seemingly still on two legs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
