How quiet he was and how eagerly he looked first this way, then that!
Suddenly he crouched down in the bottom of the canoe. His eyes were just on a level with the top edge of the side. His arms were extended to shoot.
He was very quiet, for the flock of wild geese which he saw in the distance would scatter if he made the least noise.
MEWANEE TOOK CAREFUL AIM
How gracefully they glided over the surface of the water! Soon they would be very near Mewanee.
He awaited their coming. He did not stir for he did not wish to disturb them.
Now up he sprang, rested on one knee, and took careful aim.
First one arrow, then another and another skimmed through the air.
Each arrow had been carefully aimed, and Mewanee had three fine geese to take home.
