A little later her shrill squeals announced the fact that Noel was carrying out his threat after a fashion which she found highly enjoyable, and Noel subsequently emerged in a somewhat heated and tumbled condition and bade Daisy a hasty farewell. "I've chastised the imp, but she's quite unregenerate. Glad I'm not her mother. I've sworn a solemn oath to take her out on the Chimpanzee to-morrow.
In your mind's eye turn him round, so as to put his backbone in a position inclined obliquely upwards and forwards, just as in the next three diagrams, which represent the skeletons of an Orang, a Chimpanzee, a Gorilla, and you find you have no trouble in identifying the bones throughout; and lastly turn to the end of the series, the diagram representing a man's skeleton, and still you find no great structural feature essentially altered.
The best information we possess is that, based almost wholly on direct European testimony respecting the Gibbons; the next best evidence relates to the Orangs; while our knowledge of the habits of the Chimpanzee and the Gorilla stands much in need of support and enlargement by additional testimony from instructed European eye-witnesses.
Does that sound reasonable?" He scratched his head, his eyes wandering from her face to mine. "Yes, sir, it does. I've heard o' such things afore. A chimpanzee is better'n a big dog on such a job; thar ain't no sailor who would tackle the beast." "That was my way of looking at it. So while we are lying here, and the lads are in good humor hear that laugh I am going to find out what's in the chest.
They were the men the Boy had seen at the Kachime, with one exception a vicious-looking old fellow, thin, wiry, with a face like a smoked chimpanzee and eyes of unearthly brightness. He was given the best place by the fire, and held his brown claws over the red coals while the others were finding their places.
Add to his virtues as a domestic, that he is not much addicted to chattering about the family affairs, has no followers, and is very accommodating in the matter of wages. It was neither more nor less than a chimpanzee that Fritz had caught in the dark at Falcon's Nest. "Now then, old fellow," said he, "you will help us to clear up this mysterious affair."
"Let's look in there," he said. "See, there is a vest on the ground in front of it!" "Be careful -the chimpanzee may be dangerous!" warned Snap. They hurried forward, with eyes and ears on the alert. Giant looked into the opening. "No monkey here," he announced. "But he has been here. Look!" And much to Snap's delight he held up the missing camera.
The same excellent observer, from whom I have borrowed the preceding account of the habits of the adult Chimpanzee, published fifteen years ago, an account of the GORILLA, which has, in its most essential points, been confirmed by subsequent observers, and to which so very little has really been added, that in justice to Dr. Savage I give it almost in full.
A man born dumb, notwithstanding his great cerebral mass and his inheritance of strong intellectual instincts, would be capable of few higher intellectual manifestations than an Orang or a Chimpanzee, if he were confined to the society of dumb associates. And yet there might not be the slightest discernible difference between his brain and that of a highly intelligent and cultivated person.
"If all his brothers and sisters are as talkative as himself," remarked Jack, "they must be a very amusing sort of people." "He can walk at all events," said Fritz giving him a smart push. The chimpanzee fell flat on the floor. "It appears, sir, that you are determined to have your own way, we must therefore wait till daylight."
