The unleashed metals bayed like hounds. The workmen shrunk. Through their fright, fatal harm to the bell was dreaded.
The men on the other ships bayed to us like packs of wolves, in part to give encouragement but principally jealous. We began to expect to see France now at any minute I, who can draw a map of the world and set the chief cities in the proper place, being as foolish as the rest. There lay work as well as distance between us and France.

All would hurry to the spot, and off they would go baying as they went. "Then Mr. Fox would try a new trick. He would climb a leaning tree, and then jump to the ground.
