Fascination of snakes told in traveler notes
In a reminiscence from a survey engagement a man recalls a large snake coiled before him its head moving. He becomes motionless with horror and dizziness until a nudge of timber breaks his trance and the creature slides away. A companion later witnesses another man bound by fear as a rattlesnake nears, causing faintness and illness before the danger subsides.
