The latter turned, and with an inarticulate cry, like a wild beast, rushed at the young man and seized him by the throat with his brawny hands.

When they had come alongside the canoes, two or three huge brawny fellows, in broken English, asked how they did, in a tone which Stentor might have envied; and the shaking of hands with their powerful friends was really a punishment, on account of the violent squeezes which they were compelled to suffer.
He was a big Hie'land laddie, and he wore naught but his kilt and his semmet his undershirt. He had on his steel helmet, and it shaded a face that had not been shaved or washed for days.
