1 The ridge our cavern was in was full of them.
2 We put all the other things handy at the back of the cavern.
3 I went to the cavern to get some, and found a rattlesnake in there.
4 I landed, and slopped through the timber and up the ridge and into the cavern.
5 The cavern was as big as two or three rooms bunched together, and Jim could stand up straight in it.
6 We put out the camp fire at the cavern the first thing, and didn't show a candle outside after that.
7 So we went back and got the canoe, and paddled up abreast the cavern, and lugged all the traps up there.
8 We tramped and clumb around all over it, and by and by found a good big cavern in the rock, most up to the top on the side towards Illinois.
9 The door of the cavern was big enough to roll a hogshead in, and on one side of the door the floor stuck out a little bit, and was flat and a good place to build a fire on.
10 Jim said if we had the canoe hid in a good place, and had all the traps in the cavern, we could rush there if anybody was to come to the island, and they would never find us without dogs.
