The intima tion, however, was sufficient to awaken the characteristic spirit of adventuro in Mr. Catching. He resolved nt once to learn more of that terra incognita, and with an other white man, an Indian guide, the march to the sea was inaugurat ed. For a number of days they scored thur way through the patcli- less forests and rugged mountains.

Returning to the camp of the company he offered to sell them his first location, but iu his words, “They had smelt a rat.” Knowing his ready discerment they were, no doubt, inclined to heleive that he had discovered ‘a yet more favorable place for the fonudiugof a center of trade. Mr. Catching, without any money considerations, abaudoned his first election of a home nnd transferred his habitation to im later object of attachment.
