This fading light fell upon shores\u003cbr\u003efringed with groves of oak and magnolia, whose evergreen leaves became\u003cbr\u003egradually darkened by the purple twilight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA profound silence, broken by the occasional notes of a tree-frog, or\u003cbr\u003ethe flapping of the night-hawk's wings, was but the prelude to that\u003cbr\u003ewonderful concert of animated nature heard only in the tropical forest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few moments, and the golden lines of trembling light had disappeared,\u003cbr\u003ewhile darkness almost palpable overshadowed the scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen broke forth in full chorus the nocturnal voices of the forest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mocking-bird, the whip-poor-will, the bittern, the bell-frog,\u003cbr\u003egrasshoppers, wolves, and alligators, all joined in the harmony incident\u003cbr\u003eto the hour of night, causing a din startling to the ear of a stranger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow and then would occur an interval of silence, which rendered the\u003cbr\u003erenewal of the voices all the more observable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring one of these pauses a cry might have been heard differing from\u003cbr\u003eall the other sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was the voice of a human being, and there was one who heard it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaking his way through the woods was a young man, dressed in half-hunter\u003cbr\u003ecostume, and carrying a rifle in his hand.  The cry had caused him to\u003cbr\u003estop suddenly in his tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter glancing cautiously around, as if endeavouring to pierce the thick\u003cbr\u003edarkness, he again advanced, again came to a stop, and remained\u003cbr\u003elistening.  Once more came that cry, in which accents of anger were\u003cbr\u003estrangely commingled with tones appealing for help.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167608553712,"sku":"2940013446991","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013446991_p0.jpg?v=1763592519","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013446991","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
