But it is good enough in itself without disemboweling it for the moral." "You can't always go by ants, neither," said Overland. Winthrop nodded. His eyes were filled with the awe of great distances and innumerable stars. "Gold!" he whispered presently, as one whispers in dreams. "Gold! Everywhere! In the sun in the starlight in the flowers in the flame. In wine, in a girl's hair.... Gold!
It struck the bison beyond all question, but did no more than irritate him; for, without any other warning than a sudden lowering of the head, he wheeled, and turned directly upon the horse, with the evident purpose of disemboweling him. But the latter had seen this sort of business before, and was prepared for it.
In fine, the impression produced upon the stranger who lands for the first time is that he has accidentally turned up in some piscatorial hell, where the tortures of skinning, drying, and disemboweling are performed by the unrelenting hands of man.
"And these outlandish signs and marks upon the blade?" asked Alden, peering down at the sword. "There, now, thou callest for another tale," replied Standish smiling good-naturedly.

They follow the bear and bring him to bay but do not try to kill him, although there are dogs of the big fighting breeds which can readily master a black bear if loosed at him three or four at a time; but the dogs of these southern bear-hound packs are not fitted for such work, and if they try to close with the bear he is certain to play havoc with them, disemboweling them with blows of his paws or seizing them in his arms and biting through their spines or legs.
