Soon after they came to another curious bridge over a ravine.

It had been constructed by simply felling two tall trees on the edge of it in such a manner that they fell across.

They were bound together with the supple vines that grew there in profusion.

Nature had soon covered the whole over with climbing plants and luxuriant verdure; and the bridge had become a broad and solid structure over which the whole party marched with perfect ease.

Several such bridges were crossed, and also a few of the rope kind, during the journey.
After many weeks' constant travelling, the Indians came to a beautiful valley one evening just about sunset, and began to make the usual preparations for encamping.
