Since then I have deciphered some more of Adam’s hieroglyphics, and +think he has now become sufficiently important as a public character to justify +this publication.—M. T.] +</p> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Monday</h2> + +<p> +This new creature with the long hair is a good deal in the way. It is always +hanging around and following me about. I don’t like this; I am not used +to company. I wish it would stay with the other animals. Cloudy to-day, wind in +the east; think we shall have rain…. Where did I get that word?… I remember +now—the new creature uses it. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Tuesday</h2> + +<p> +Been examining the great waterfall. It is the finest thing on the estate, I +think. The new creature calls it Niagara Falls—why, I am sure I do not +know. Says it looks like Niagara Falls. That is not a reason; it is mere +waywardness and imbecility. I get no chance to name anything myself. The new +creature names everything that comes along, before I can get in a protest. And +always that same pretext is offered—it looks like the thing. There is the +dodo, for instance. Says the moment one looks at it one sees at a glance that +it “looks like a dodo.” It will have to keep that name, no doubt. +It wearies me to fret about it, and it does no good, anyway. Dodo! It looks no +more like a dodo than I do. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Wednesday</h2> + +<p> +Built me a shelter against the rain, but could not have it to myself in peace. +The new creature intruded. When I tried to put it out it shed water out of the +holes it looks with, and wiped it away with the back of its paws, and made a +noise such as some of the other animals make when they are in distress. I wish +it would not talk; it is always talking. That sounds like a cheap fling at the +poor creature, a slur; but I do not mean it so. I have never heard the human +voice before, and any new and strange sound intruding itself here upon the +solemn hush of these dreaming solitudes offends my ear and seems a false note. +And this new sound is so close to me; it is right at my shoulder, right at my +ear, first on one side and then on the other, and I am used only to sounds that +are more or less distant from me. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Friday</h2> + +<p> +The naming goes recklessly on, in spite of anything I can do. I had a very good +name for the estate, and it was musical and pretty —GARDEN-OF-EDEN. +Privately, I continue to call it that, but not any longer publicly. The new +creature says it is all woods and rocks and scenery, and therefore has no +resemblance to a garden. Says it looks like a park, and does not look like +anything but a park. Consequently, without consulting me, it has been new-named +—NIAGARA FALLS PARK. This is sufficiently high-handed, it seems to me. +And already there is a sign up: +</p> + +<h5>KEEP OFF THE GRASS</h5> + +<p> +My life is not as happy as it was. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Saturday</h2> + +<p> +The new creature eats too much fruit. We are going to run short, most likely. +“We” again—that is its word; mine too, now, from hearing it +so much. Good deal of fog this morning. I do not go out in the fog myself. The +new creature does. It goes out in all weathers, and stumps right in with its +muddy feet. And talks. It used to be so pleasant and quiet here. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Sunday</h2> + +<p> +Pulled through. This day is getting to be more and more trying. It was selected +and set apart last November as a day of rest. I already had six of them per +week, before. This morning found the new creature trying to clod apples out of +that forbidden tree. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Monday</h2> + +<p> +The new creature says its name is Eve. That is all right, I have no objections. +Says it is to call it by when I want it to come. I said it was superfluous, +then. The word evidently raised me in its respect; and indeed it is a large, +good word, and will bear repetition. It says it is not an It, it is a She. This +is probably doubtful; yet it is all one to me; what she is were nothing to me +if she would but go by herself and not talk. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Tuesday</h2> + +<p> +She has littered the whole estate with execrable names and offensive signs: +</p> + +<h5>THIS WAY TO THE WHIRLPOOL.</h5> + +<h5>THIS WAY TO GOAT ISLAND.</h5> + +<h5>CAVE OF THE WINDS THIS WAY.</h5> + +<p> +She says this park would make a tidy summer resort, if there was any custom for +it. Summer resort—another invention of hers—just words, without any +meaning. What is a summer resort? But it is best not to ask her, she has such a +rage for explaining. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Friday</h2> + +<p> +She has taken to beseeching me to stop going over the Falls. What harm does it +do? Says it makes her shudder. I wonder why. I have always done it—always +liked the plunge, and the excitement, and the coolness. I supposed it was what +the Falls were for. They have no other use that I can see, and they must have +been made for something. She says they were only made for scenery—like +the rhinoceros and the mastodon. +</p> + +<p> +I went over the Falls in a barrel—not satisfactory to her. Went over in a +tub—still not satisfactory. Swam the Whirlpool and the Rapids in a +fig-leaf suit. It got much damaged. Hence, tedious complaints about my +extravagance. I am too much hampered here. What I need is change of scene. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Saturday</h2> + +<p> +I escaped last Tuesday night, and travelled two days, and built me another +shelter, in a secluded place, and obliterated my tracks as well as I could, but +she hunted me out by means of a beast which she has tamed and calls a wolf, and +came making that pitiful noise again, and shedding that water out of the places +she looks with. I was obliged to return with her, but will presently emigrate +again, when occasion offers. She engages herself in many foolish things: among +others, trying to study out why the animals called lions and tigers live on +grass and flowers, when, as she says, the sort of teeth they wear would +indicate that they were intended to eat each other. This is foolish, because to +do that would be to kill each other, and that would introduce what, as I +understand it, is called “death;” and death, as I have been told, +has not yet entered the Park. Which is a pity, on some accounts. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Sunday</h2> + +<p> +Pulled through. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Monday</h2> + +<p> +I believe I see what the week is for: it is to give time to rest up from the +weariness of Sunday. It seems a good idea…. She has been climbing that tree +again. Clodded her out of it. She said nobody was looking. Seems to consider +that a sufficient justification for chancing any dangerous thing. Told her +that. The word justification moved her admiration—and envy too, I +thought. It is a good word. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Thursday</h2> + +<p> +She told me she was made out of a rib taken from my body. This is at least +doubtful, if not more than that. I have not missed any rib…. She is in much +trouble about the buzzard; says grass does not agree with it; is afraid she +can’t raise it; thinks it was intended to live on decayed flesh. The +buzzard must get along the best it can with what is provided. We cannot +overturn the whole scheme to accommodate the buzzard. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Saturday</h2> + +<p> +She fell in the pond yesterday, when she was looking at herself in it, which +she is always doing. She nearly strangled, and said it was most uncomfortable. +This made her sorry for the creatures which live in there, which she calls +fish, for she continues to fasten names on to things that don’t need them +and don’t come when they are called by them, which is a matter of no +consequence to her, as she is such a numskull anyway; so she got a lot of them +out and brought them in last night and put them in my bed to keep warm, but I +have noticed them now and then all day, and I don’t see that they are any +happier there than they were before, only quieter. When night comes I shall +throw them out-doors. I will not sleep with them again, for I find them clammy +and unpleasant to lie among when a person hasn’t anything on. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Sunday</h2> + +<p> +Pulled through. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Tuesday</h2> + +<p> +She has taken up with a snake now. The other animals are glad, for she was +always experimenting with them and bothering them; and I am glad, because the +snake talks, and this enables me to get a rest. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Friday</h2> + +<p> +She says the snake advises her to try the fruit of that tree, and says the +result will be a great and fine and noble education. I told her there would be +another result, too—it would introduce death into the world. That was a +mistake—it had been better to keep the remark to myself; it only gave her +an idea—she could save the sick buzzard, and furnish fresh meat to the +despondent lions and tigers. I advised her to keep away from the tree. She said +she wouldn’t. I foresee trouble. Will emigrate. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Wednesday</h2> + +<p> +I have had a variegated time. I escaped that night, and rode a horse all night +as fast as he could go, hoping to get clear out of the Park and hide in some +other country before the trouble should begin; but it was not to be. About an +hour after sunup, as I was riding through a flowery plain where thousands of +animals were grazing, slumbering, or playing with each other, according to +their wont, all of a sudden they broke into a tempest of frightful noises, and +in one moment the plain was in a frantic commotion and every beast was +destroying its neighbor. I knew what it meant—Eve had eaten that fruit, +and death was come into the world…. The tigers ate my horse, paying no +attention when I ordered them to desist, and they would even have eaten me if I +had stayed—which I didn’t, but went away in much haste…. I found +this place, outside the Park, and was fairly comfortable for a few days, but +she has found me out. Found me out, and has named the place +Tonawanda—says it looks like that. In fact, I was not sorry she came, for +there are but meagre pickings here, and she brought some of those apples. I was +obliged to eat them, I was so hungry. It was against my principles, but I find +that principles have no real force except when one is well fed…. She came +curtained in boughs and bunches of leaves, and when I asked her what she meant +by such nonsense, and snatched them away and threw them down, she tittered and +blushed. I had never seen a person titter and blush before, and to me it seemed +unbecoming and idiotic. She said I would soon know how it was myself. This was +correct. Hungry as I was, I laid down the apple half eaten—certainly the +best one I ever saw, considering the lateness of the season—and arrayed +myself in the discarded boughs and branches, and then spoke to her with some +severity and ordered her to go and get some more and not make such a spectacle +of herself. She did it, and after this we crept down to where the wild-beast +battle had been, and collected some skins, and I made her patch together a +couple of suits proper for public occasions. They are uncomfortable, it is +true, but stylish, and that is the main point about clothes. … I find she is a +good deal of a companion. I see I should be lonesome and depressed without her, +now that I have lost my property. Another thing, she says it is ordered that we +work for our living hereafter. She will be useful. I will superintend. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Ten Days Later</h2> + +<p> +She accuses me of being the cause of our disaster! She says, with apparent +sincerity and truth, that the Serpent assured her that the forbidden fruit was +not apples, it was chestnuts. I said I was innocent, then, for I had not eaten +any chestnuts. She said the Serpent informed her that “chestnut” +was a figurative term meaning an aged and mouldy joke. I turned pale at that, +for I have made many jokes to pass the weary time, and some of them could have +been of that sort, though I had honestly supposed that they were new when I +made them. She asked me if I had made one just at the time of the catastrophe. +I was obliged to admit that I had made one to myself, though not aloud. It was +this. I was thinking about the Falls, and I said to myself, “How +wonderful it is to see that vast body of water tumble down there!” Then +in an instant a bright thought flashed into my head, and I let it fly, saying, +“It would be a deal more wonderful to see it tumble up +there!”—and I was just about to kill myself with laughing at it +when all nature broke loose in war and death, and I had to flee for my life. +“There,” she said, with triumph, “that is just it; the +Serpent mentioned that very jest, and called it the First Chestnut, and said it +was coeval with the creation.” Alas, I am indeed to blame. Would that I +were not witty; oh, would that I had never had that radiant thought! +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Next Year</h2> + +<p> +We have named it Cain. She caught it while I was up country trapping on the +North Shore of the Erie; caught it in the timber a couple of miles from our +dug-out—or it might have been four, she isn’t certain which. It +resembles us in some ways, and may be a relation. That is what she thinks, but +this is an error, in my judgment. The difference in size warrants the +conclusion that it is a different and new kind of animal—a fish, perhaps, +though when I put it in the water to see, it sank, and she plunged in and +snatched it out before there was opportunity for the experiment to determine +the matter. I still think it is a fish, but she is indifferent about what it +is, and will not let me have it to try. I do not understand this. The coming of +the creature seems to have changed her whole nature and made her unreasonable +about experiments. She thinks more of it than she does of any of the other +animals, but is not able to explain why. Her mind is +disordered—everything shows it. Sometimes she carries the fish in her +arms half the night when it complains and wants to get to the water. At such +times the water comes out of the places in her face that she looks out of, and +she pats the fish on the back and makes soft sounds with her mouth to soothe +it, and betrays sorrow and solicitude in a hundred ways. I have never seen her +do like this with any other fish, and it troubles me greatly. She used to carry +the young tigers around so, and play with them, before we lost our property; +but it was only play; she never took on about them like this when their dinner +disagreed with them. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Sunday</h2> + +<p> +She doesn’t work Sundays, but lies around all tired out, and likes to +have the fish wallow over her; and she makes fool noises to amuse it, and +pretends to chew its paws, and that makes it laugh. I have not seen a fish +before that could laugh. This makes me doubt…. I have come to like Sunday +myself. Superintending all the week tires a body so. There ought to be more +Sundays. In the old days they were tough, but now they come handy. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Wednesday</h2> + +<p> +It isn’t a fish. I cannot quite make out what it is. It makes curious, +devilish noises when not satisfied, and says “goo-goo” when it is. +It is not one of us, for it doesn’t walk; it is not a bird, for it +doesn’t fly; it is not a frog, for it doesn’t hop; it is not a +snake, for it doesn’t crawl; I feel sure it is not a fish, though I +cannot get a chance to find out whether it can swim or not. It merely lies +around, and mostly on its back, with its feet up. I have not seen any other +animal do that before. I said I believed it was an enigma, but she only admired +the word without understanding it. In my judgment it is either an enigma or +some kind of a bug. If it dies, I will take it apart and see what its +arrangements are. I never had a thing perplex me so. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Three Months Later</h2> + +<p> +The perplexity augments instead of diminishing. I sleep but little. It has +ceased from lying around, and goes about on its four legs now. Yet it differs +from the other four-legged animals in that its front legs are unusually short, +consequently this causes the main part of its person to stick up uncomfortably +high in the air, and this is not attractive. It is built much as we are, but +its method of travelling shows that it is not of our breed. The short front +legs and long hind ones indicate that it is of the kangaroo family, but it is a +marked variation of the species, since the true kangaroo hops, whereas this one +never does. Still, it is a curious and interesting variety, and has not been +catalogued before. As I discovered it, I have felt justified in securing the +credit of the discovery by attaching my name to it, and hence have called it +Kangaroorum Adamiensis…. It must have been a young one when it came, for it has +grown exceedingly since. It must be five times as big, now, as it was then, and +when discontented is able to make from twenty-two to thirty-eight times the +noise it made at first. Coercion does not modify this, but has the contrary +effect. For this reason I discontinued the system. She reconciles it by +persuasion, and by giving it things which she had previously told it she +wouldn’t give it. As already observed, I was not at home when it first +came, and she told me she found it in the woods. It seems odd that it should be +the only one, yet it must be so, for I have worn myself out these many weeks +trying to find another one to add to my collection, and for this one to play +with; for surely then it would be quieter, and we could tame it more easily. +But I find none, nor any vestige of any; and strangest of all, no tracks. It +has to live on the ground, it cannot help itself; therefore, how does it get +about without leaving a track? I have set a dozen traps, but they do no good. I +catch all small animals except that one; animals that merely go into the trap +out of curiosity, I think, to see what the milk is there for. They never drink +it. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Three Months Later</h2> + +<p> +The kangaroo still continues to grow, which is very strange and perplexing. I +never knew one to be so long getting its growth. It has fur on its head now; +not like kangaroo fur, but exactly like our hair, except that it is much finer +and softer, and instead of being black is red. I am like to lose my mind over +the capricious and harassing developments of this unclassifiable zoological +freak. If I could catch another one—but that is hopeless; it is a new +variety, and the only sample; this is plain. But I caught a true kangaroo and +brought it in, thinking that this one, being lonesome, would rather have that +for company than have no kin at all, or any animal it could feel a nearness to +or get sympathy from in its forlorn condition here among strangers who do not +know its ways or habits, or what to do to make it feel that it is among +friends; but it was a mistake—it went into such fits at the sight of the +kangaroo that I was convinced it had never seen one before. I pity the poor +noisy little animal, but there is nothing I can do to make it happy. If I could +tame it—but that is out of the question; the more I try, the worse I seem +to make it. It grieves me to the heart to see it in its little storms of sorrow +and passion. I wanted to let it go, but she wouldn’t hear of it. That +seemed cruel and not like her; and yet she may be right. It might be lonelier +than ever; for since I cannot find another one, how could it? +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Five Months Later</h2> + +<p> +It is not a kangaroo. No, for it supports itself by holding to her finger, and +thus goes a few steps on its hind legs, and then falls down. It is probably +some kind of a bear; and yet it has no tail—as yet—and no fur, +except on its head. It still keeps on growing—that is a curious +circumstance, for bears get their growth earlier than this. Bears are +dangerous—since our catastrophe—and I shall not be satisfied to +have this one prowling about the place much longer without a muzzle on. I have +offered to get her a kangaroo if she would let this one go, but it did no +good—she is determined to run us into all sorts of foolish risks, I +think. She was not like this before she lost her mind. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>A Fortnight Later</h2> + +<p> +I examined its mouth. There is no danger yet; it has only one tooth. It has no +tail yet. It makes more noise now than it ever did before—and mainly at +night. I have moved out. But I shall go over, mornings, to breakfast, and to +see if it has more teeth. If it gets a mouthful of teeth, it will be time for +it to go, tail or no tail, for a bear does not need a tail in order to be +dangerous. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Four Months Later</h2> + +<p> +I have been off hunting and fishing a month, up in the region that she calls +Buffalo; I don’t know why, unless it is because there are not any +buffaloes there. Meantime the bear has learned to paddle around all by itself +on its hind legs, and says “poppa” and “momma.” It is +certainly a new species. This resemblance to words may be purely accidental, of +course, and may have no purpose or meaning; but even in that case it is still +extraordinary, and is a thing which no other bear can do. This imitation of +speech, taken together with general absence of fur and entire absence of tail, +sufficiently indicates that this is a new kind of bear. The further study of it +will be exceedingly interesting. Meantime I will go off on a far expedition +among the forests of the North and make an exhaustive search. There must +certainly be another one somewhere, and this one will be less dangerous when it +has company of its own species. I will go straightway; but I will muzzle this +one first. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Three Months Later</h2> + +<p> +It has been a weary, weary hunt, yet I have had no success. In the mean time, +without stirring from the home estate, she has caught another one! I never saw +such luck. I might have hunted these woods a hundred years, I never should have +run across that thing. +</p> + +</div><!--end chapter--> + +<div class="chapter"> + +<h2>Next Day</h2> + +<p> +I have been comparing the new one with the old one, and it is perfectly plain +that they are the same breed. I was going to stuff one of them for my +collection, but she is prejudiced against it for some reason or other; so I +have relinquished the idea, though I think it is a mistake. It would be an +irreparable loss to science if they should get away. The old one is tamer than +it was, and can laugh and talk like the parrot, having learned this, no doubt, +from being with the parrot so much, and having the imitative faculty in a +highly developed degree.
