y noise. It seemed as if the world were about to burst in two!

I got upon a hill as the train appeared. "O!" I said to myself, "that is
the fire-boat-walkson-mountains that I have heard about!" Then I drove
back the ponies.

My father was accustomed every morning to read from his Bible, and
sing a stanza of a hymn. I was about very early with my gun for several
mornings; but at last he stopped me as I was preparing to go out, and
bade me wait.

I listened with much astonishment. The hymn contained the word Jesus.
I did not comprehend what this meant; and my father then told me that
Jesus was the Son of God who came on earth to save sinners, and that it
was because of him that he had sought me. This conversation made a deep
impression upon my mind.

Late in the fall we reached the citizen settlement at Flandreau, South
Dakota, where my father and some others dwelt among the whites. Here my
wild life came to an end, and my school days began.
