There was diats and great excitement. There were two guards at our door. One ran away at once. After a moment the other called to a boy of 14, and left him in nis place. The boy was excited and anxious and gave us no attention. As soon as I saw this I went to the far corner of the hut and kicked out enough of the poles to permit me to crawl through. My companion stood at the door to watch tlie boy, and when 1 was ready I called to him.

No hunt was made for us until after the feast. I crossed the island, found another fresh water creek, and then looked about for a hiding place. I went to the top of a very thick tree, and for the next thiee days and nights I did not set foot on earth. A vigorous and persistent search was kept, up by the natives for that time, and then they seemed to aigue that I had flung myself into the sea.

But did you at any time linvenny trouble, or pain, arising directly from treatment of the hand or foot after amputation? No, and nobody ever did: that is purely imagination, arising from tlie t k n same feeding that I experience now. For instance, if I strike my leg thus, (gently striking the stump of his leg) I fi'cl a tingling sensation in my foot, nnd do not feel anything here where I strike it. Again my big toe v, ill itch just as it did in life, then I will ' gently stroke the nerve 1 hat leads to 'that toe and it will have precisely the same effect as if my leg had not been amputated.

Now this i.s not imagination, this is real, caused by the muscles and the nerves working jointly, I work the muscle in my leg that would move my big toe, that inusle acts on the nerve and I feel the toe move. How about these people who claim that they feel something bothering the limb after it bus been interred? Now that is imagination, reused as I have said, by the nerves, middle trouble is at that part of the body where amputation took place, anil not in tlie part that is buried, often though it is very deceiving, and leads people to tliinlc otherwise.
