Source-grounded excerpt

eth, for fear of the giant with the shock of red hair. CHAPTER II Whether the dream or the hand of fate gave him his course I know not, but Bill rode a straight line, up hill and down dale. When he came to a fence or a log he made his horse jump it. There was no going round or turning back, till he found himself descending a steep, rugged spot, known as the Devil's Punch Bowl. "This is the place I saw in my dream," he said aloud; "but where is the dead man?" A little stream wound in and out among the rocks. The hum of bees and the smell of honey filled the air. Wattles waved their yellow tassels, and reflected splashes of gold on.
