C9iintless armies of musquitocs, snakes, frogs and alligators ; the In dians say that in the terrestrial paradise on this Island, there dwells ajace

wif mortals of super-human dimcn

siors &, incomparahle beauty. This island, though sometimes seen, is represented as inaccessible from the attribute which it possesses of locom

otion ; thus eluding approach or

from the ever varying labarynths of

fens anu bogs by which it is cntrcn ched and in which the bold invader

is confounded who ventures too near

this enchanted spot. Thus, lost in inextricable sloughs, a few intrepid

hunters were once saved trom pensw

r. by a company of women from

tliis island, of surprising form and

beautv whom they denominated

the Daughters of the Sun, or children

of the Great Spirit. Having kindly
