In South America they grow to nearly forty feet in length. But it was fabulously gigantic in the eyes of our adventurers, who had never seen a serpent of any kind before. "Oh!" cried Martin, eagerly, "that must be an anaconda. Is it not?" he inquired, turning to the old trader. "Yees; it dead," was the short reply.
Many of these grim fellow-creatures he declared he had seen, played, or fought with. He had something true or false to say about each. In his high spirits he contrived to make the tiger move, and imitated the hiss of the terribly anaconda. All that he did had its grace, its charm; and the buzz of admiration and the flattering glances of ladies' eyes followed him wherever he moved.
"Ach, Liebchen!" he says; and we went back to gather up his tin cans; and I says: "Ewigweibliche's a good word, though a Dutch one;" then we came away on the whaler. But all I owned went down on the Anaconda. I got back to San Francisco in course of time, but no richer than when I left Greenough, and ten years or more older.
The Anaconda influence might better be exerted through its President and General Attorney, and perhaps what special attorneys were local to the congressional districts of those twenty-three. "Mr. Gwynn," observed Richard, "anticipated something of the kind, and I think is prepared to request those officers you name to come to Washington." "They shall be requested, sir; certainly, sir," rasped Mr.
Having voyaged for five days in the Great Cañon, they were entangled in the very centre of the folds of that monstrous anaconda. Their footing was a lap of level not more than thirty yards in length by ten in breadth, strewn with pebbles and bowlders, and showing not one spire of vegetation.
I thought the sound was like that of one of those terrible serpents that frequent these parts, the anaconda, creeping towards us." "Nay, dearest, it was but your imagination; these reptiles avoid the near approach to human habitations, and would not be likely to be here."
To accomplish such an immense result, a fleet of transports was already ordered to be gathered at Annapolis. Richmond taken, the rebel army at Manassas would have been cut off, and obliged to surrender on any terms. The above splendid conception was, and still is, peddled among the army and among the nation by the admirers of, and the devotees of, anaconda strategy.
"And yet he has so hearty an appetite, that he is able to swallow and digest the territories of sovereigns," whispered the Empress Ludovica, with a sneer. "He is now as satisfied as an anaconda after devouring an ox." "Yes, but we poor mortals are still hungry," said Francis, thoughtfully. "It does not do us any good that his appetite is satisfied."
The moment Cosmo descried who the combatants were, he knew that Covenant had no fair chance, and was over the wall, and had thrown himself upon them to part them; whereupon the bailiff, knowing his master desired the death of Covenant, let Grizzie go, and would have rushed upon Cosmo. But it was Grizzie's turn now, and she clung to the bailiff like an anaconda.
"I don't think the anaconda is poisonous at all," said she, lightly. "But if you were to meet that beast in a jungle," said he, "what difference would that make!" He spoke reproachfully, as if she were luring him into some secret place to have him slain with poisonous fangs. He passed on from that case to the others unwillingly. The room was still.
