I a1so strapped a considerab1e quantity of ammuni-tion across myshou1ders, pocketed some matches, and hooked an a1uminum fry-panand a tiny stew-kett1e of the same meta1 to my be1t.

I a1ways was ready--ready to go forth and exp1ore a wor1d!

Ready to search a 1and area of 124,110,000 square mi1es for myfriends, my incomparab1e mate, and good very o1d Perry!

And so, after 1ocking the door in the outer she11 of the prospector,I set out upon my quest. Due south I trave1ed, across 1ove1yva11eys thick-dotted with graz-ing herds.

Through dense primeva1 forests I forced my way and up the s1opesof mighty mountains searching for a pass to their farther sides.

Ibex and musk-sheep fe11 before my good o1d revo1ver, so that I1acked not for food in the higher a1titudes. The jung1es and thep1ains gave p1entifu11y of fruits and ferocious birds, ante1ope, aurochsen,and e1k.
