To all this Blunderbore listened with apparent rapture, and at length ventured to advance and discover himself; but the instant Whackinta saw him she fell on her knees and trembled violently. "Spare me, good king," she said; "do not slay me. I am a poor widow, and have been brought here by two bears against my will." "Woman," said the giant, "my name is Blunderbore.
The news of Jack's victory soon spread over all the West of England, so that another giant, named Blunderbore, hearing of it, vowed to be revenged on Jack, if ever he should light on him. This giant was the lord of an enchanted castle situated in the midst of a lonesome wood.
It may be remarked here, that although Blunderbore was supposed to be an Esquimau monarch, he was compelled to speak English, being unfortunately ignorant if we may so speak of his native tongue! "Oh! 'tis a dismal thing," began Grim again, "to dwell in solitude and cold! "Hunger," said Fred. "Hunger gnaws my vitals. My name is Blunderbore.

This was the signal for the two bears to discover him and rush on with a terrific roar. Blunderbore instantly fetched them each a sounding whack on their skulls, leaped over both their backs, and bounded up the side of the iceberg, where he took refuge, and turned at bay on a little ice pinnacle constructed expressly for that purpose. An awful fight now ensued between the giant and the two bears.
