"Nurse, if you please, will you tell me what this little animal is designed to represent?" said Lady Mary, pointing to the figure of the racoon worked in quills on the sheath of the hunting-knife.

He seemed to have a broad grin on his face, as though Nellie must have written something especially sweet. But here he comes out again, dancing like a wild Indian. What's he waving above his head, fellows?" said Frank. "It's his lost hunting-knife, as sure as you live!" echoed Will. "Just to think of it, boys!

A leopard-skin pouch hanging under his right arm, a hunting-knife stuck in his waist-belt, and a large meerschaum pipe through the band of his hat, completed the equipments of the trek-boor, Von Bloom. Hans and Hendrik were very similarly attired, armed, and equipped.
Up to this point, however, the savage had not summoned courage to make the attack, although, with the exception of a hunting-knife, his enemy was altogether unarmed, for he knew that in the event of missing his mark the young man's speed of foot would enable him to outstrip him, while his strength of frame would quickly terminate a single combat.
