Karl, as Caspar had done the moment before, saw this with surprise. "Nest?" repeated Caspar, astonished at the shikaree's statement. "A bird's nest? Is that what you mean, Ossy?" "That just it, sahib. Nest of great biggee bird. Feringhees him call horneebill." "Well," rejoined Caspar, not greatly enlightened by Ossaroo's explanation, "that's very curious.
All night longee he cly wail." "Hear the malee. What's that?" "Biggee fowl like tulkey. Saloo heal him. Make moan likee man go die." "Och, thair was that, thrue enough. I heerd something scramin' all the night. I thought it might be a banshee, if thair is that crayther in this counthry. A bird, you say? What of that? Its squalling won't give us any iggs, nor lade to its nest nayther."
"What is it?" again asked the captain, now no longer anxious or alarmed, but only curious to know what the strange creature could be. "Buld, cappen biggee buld." "Oh, a bird, that's all; what sort of bird?" "Honbill; ole hen hornbill. She on ha ness inside, hatchee egg; she built up in dat; ole cock he shuttee up with mud."
"Now, sahibs," said Ossaroo, holding the string between his fingers that portion of it which had been applied around the footprint "twice the length of dis reachee to the top of he shoulder; that how Ossaroo know he biggee elephant."
