I hesitated one moment on account of the sharks, then plunged into the river, and with rapid and strong strokes swam towards the boat. I was soon alongside, seized the gunwale, and, expecting every moment that a shark would seize me by the leg, by a convulsive movement threw myself into the boat. As I sculled back towards the place from which the boat had drifted Captain Page came down to the water side. He had witnessed the scene from a balcony, and ad- ministered a severe rebuke for my foolha...rdiness in swim- ming off into the river, particularly during the young flood, which brought the voracious monsters in from the sea. On our passage to Maranham, and during a portion of our stay in that port, the utmost harmony prevailed on board. The men, although kept constantly at work, were nevertheless satisfied with their treatment. The officers and the crew were on pleasant terms with each other ; and grumbling without cause, which is often indulged in on shipboard, was seldom known in the forecastle of the Clarissa.
