At the start of the passage, the author describes the setting of the day.The “sun being very low” refers that daylight has already started to submerge as well as the light and warmth in the ambience is being engulf by darkness. The author uses the word ‘very’ as the sun is not casually slowly setting but is already entering into murkiness.

The “suspicious ripple” personifies a feeling of a “thing” or two are lurking and gives the sense of dubiousness in the unforeseen horizon. The author uses the term ‘suspicious' the further intrigued the readers to read on and explore the upper end of the reach.

With a hyperbolic sense, “caution” is undeviating towards vigilance of roaming around that precinct especially in dusk. ‘Caution’ gives a sense of relation on how the author has to be as careful as possible especially while carrying wood as the river was rather tapered and straight.

The contrast of ‘high sides like a railway cutting’ are between high sides and railway cutting. ‘Railway cutting’ shows various trees lined up on both left and the right side. With the term ‘high sides’, the author gives an imagery of the trees on both side ‘traveling’ up a hill. The ‘river' is the passage resembles the hill.

‘Changes into stone’ gives a perception of the stillness of the trees at the area. The author hyperboles the scene as there were not even a single gush of wind.

The expression, ‘as though a gun had been fired’ at merely three in the morning, leaves the readers with the impression of demented alarm clock. The author compares the sound to a gun which hyperbolizes the situation as gun shots are able to damage someone’s hearing with just a mere pull on the trigger.

‘White fog’ gives an imagery of pure mist gushing out from the sides as though the sun had just released it from a night of ‘suspension’. The word, ‘warm and clammy’ adds on to the point and the sun lets out a rather warm temperature in the early morning while being in the forest near the river gives a feeling of being humid.

The phrase, ‘towering multitude of trees, of the immense matted jungle’, signifies the author and friends had began their journey once the fog had lifted up. As they were, ‘struck blind’ on the night before, they now have a clear view of the jungle which is coated with trees. ‘The greased grooves’ personifies another uplift to clear away the fog, with some ‘waves of pattern’ providing a new batch of fresh-air inlet.

Last but not least, ‘as of invite desolation’ juxtaposes on the scene as they were once walking in an ‘immense matted jungle’. Also it differs of the setting from being in total isolation and to a scene with very much ear-piercing cries. The author left the readers with big question marks flooding their brains and a tinge of horror as why would an isolated jungle has sounds of wailing in the midst of a solitude. At th
