In my last yam 1 told
you about th* adventure
with th’ wild man on th’
island of Borneo. Knowin’
that he wan a white man,
Tops’l Barney and I flti­
gered that he had gone
crazy in th’ jungle, BO we
net out to capture him.
We'd junt gotten well In­
to th' deep woods when we
had a clone call from bein'
captured by aavage natives.
Bight after that, a.*> we were
alippin’ along, watchin* for
Migna of th* crazy man, a
whoppin’ big serpent, with
iimuth open and hinnin* like
an engine Mowin' off steam,
reared up in front of us. I
could have shot him. but
that would have brought th*
savages back on our trail,
so we got out of there in
a hurry.
It was just after this that
\v e heard th* crazy yell we
knew so well. Tyin’ a sllp-
nooae In one end of a rope
that he had brought with
him, Barney covered it with

dirt In th’ trail. Then we
hid in th’ grass and waited.
When th’ wild man hove in
sight and stepped into th'
loop, Barney Jerked on th’
rope and down he went.
When we got out to th’
trail we found that th’ poor
feller’s head had struck a
rock, and we thought for
sure that he was dead. But
in a minute or two he sat
up, and he wasn’t crazy any
more. Th' bump on his
head had cured him. Then
he told us that he was a
French sailor; that he had
swum ashore after his ship
had been wrecked, and that
th* loneliness and danger in
th* Jungle had driven him
crazy.
Well s’r, when he found
that we had saved him, he
was so tickled he grabbed
hold of Barney and kissed
him on both cheeks. I tell
you it was worth all th ’
risks we had taken to see
th’ expression on Barney’s
face.
