Ken Ward in the Jungle (1998)
“" George, let's take a walk over there where you saw the turkeys. It's early yet." Then Pepe told George if they wanted to see game at that hour the thing to do was to sit still in camp and watch the game come down to the river to drink. And he pointed down-stream to a herd of small deer quietly walking out on the bar.
"After all the noise we made!" exclaimed Ken. " Well, this beats me. George, we'll stay right here and not shoot again to-night. I've an idea we'll see something worth while." It... was Pepe's idea, but Ken instantly saw its possibilities. There were no tributaries to the river or springs in that dry jungle, and, as manifestly the whole country abounded in game, it must troop down to the river in the cool of the evening to allay the hot day's thirst. The boys were perfectly situated for watching the dark bank on the channel side of the island as well as the open bars on the other. The huge cypresses cast shadows that even in daylight effectually concealed them. They put out the camp-fire and, taking comfortable seats in the folds of the great gnarled roots, began to watch and listen.MoreLess
