In the neighbourhood of this headland I was induced to enter a hut at a sheep-station, by seeing stuck round a fence a number of the heads of an animal called by the colonists a hyena, from the resemblance it bears in shape and colour, though not in ferocity, to that beast.
"Say, it's after eleven!" exclaimed Tom. "We'd better hurry!" Suddenly, as if a rocket cruiser were blasting off in the corridors, a roar, deafening and powerful, filled their ears. And beneath its ferocity there were four unmistakable words: "Polaris unit staaaaaaaannnnnndddddd toooooo!" Every muscle, every bone in their three bodies snapped to rigid attention simultaneously.
