Jones asked me if I had a life- preserver, advised me to tie my trunks to ash logs for buoys, if I had any thing valuable in them, and then told me doleful stories of hac- cidents by snagging that had happened in this very part of the river; and the others all did the same thing: never heard so many dread ful stories in my life. Didn't believe 'em, though; thought they wanted to quiz me, and told 'em so, and they went away, hoping I would be none the worse for my hunbelief. They left the cabin,... declaring they would be near the boats in case of haccident. " I thought they were fibbing, but was a little uneasy for awhile, and then fell sound asleep great fool for doing so; got to dream ing of the last story they had told me a most A TALE OF A SNAG. 93 hawful one; and, as 1 heard afterwards, quite true: 'twas of a steamer that was snagged up in the Earthquake Country, somewhere near where we then were; 'twas night, the mate had just gone into the forecastle to turn in, when the snag a tremendous big one struck the boat, pierced the forecastle, took the mate, just as he was fetching a wide yawn, in the mouth, and, 'orrible to relate, came out at the nape of his neck; in which condition he was borne by the snag clear through the deck, twelve feet, and left struggling in the air like a fish strung by the gills to a pole.
