  Our boat floated on between walls of forest.It was too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains.Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us form going ashore.In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way.So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.

  As for water, there was a choice.We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst.We drank the water.Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water.In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.

  One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us.We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.

  What would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first sensible lesson is that you shouldn't bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay put until dawn.Because then you won't trip over things? No, mainly because you'll have an idea of direction.The sun rises in the east.But you will be amazed at how many people forget they know that.Apparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter-they are thick, and evergreen.The next thing to do-or rather not to do-is panic, for the obvious reason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, it will get you nowhere.Just try to think of nice, happy things.

  There is always a oint in films then a erson who is lost in the desert or the snow, dehydrated(脱水的)and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footrints and realizes they have just walked in huge, round circle.It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths of your legs.Experiments prove that, without the sun or the moon(or landmarks)as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add u over time so the brain can't correctly identify the “straight ahead” direction.To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it.

  There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by far the best is to establish north using the stars.Most people can identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major, It looks a lot like a saucepan.The Plough rotates thraugh the sky, but let's imagine the saucepan lying horizontally(水平地), with its handle on the left.You neet to trace a line from the star at the right-hand base of the pan, through the star at the right-hand rim(边沿), and follow it upwards; the north star is roughly five thmes the distance between those two “pointer” stars.Then drop a vertical line from the North Star to the horizon and that's north.

  “Tonight is very cloudy and I can't see the Plough.” Maybe luckily, it is quite windy.Keep in mind that almost all of our weather comes from a south-westerly direction.(This only works if you are in the British Isles).To find the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there are clouds and patches of clear sky, see which way they blow across the stars.You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants.If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east.If they are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, there's a good chance that is south(they will be reaching towards the sun).The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go.

Because one of the legs is longer and stronger than the other.
