- Of course the Colonel's up to date, as well as snuff, but his trip down the wonderful River of Doubt tested him as he never was tested or bested before. With much care he starts down the Doubtful Stream in a novel boat of his own construction, and gets wrecked in the rapids on a desolate island. A man-eating cannibal tries to get him out of his fortress and fails. Then a man-and-cannibal-eating lion tries to make a beach sandwich out of them both, and gives up in despair. But the poor Colonel catches the Doubting fever and is carried to the tin-can camp of the cannibals, where instead of being cooked he cooks the cook and frightens the gutta percha king into grotesque cannibal fits, gets crowned king, and then escapes. But fate never lets up on the ingenious old Colonel for long, and before he finishes his milk and honey explorations he makes a hero of himself in a number of side-splitting escapades, which serve to keep the spectator in one continual round of convulsive laughter.
