(Bold words marked with **)
The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand
excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). had been fording streams more and more *difficult* to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more
extensive and more *difficult* to *force* one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac
and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very *crooked* course by compass, *struggling* through *tangled* drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of
*fallen* trees, I began to *fear* that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, *faint* and *hungry*, to plan a
nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or
Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.
