The former will attack not only large quadrupeds, but man himself, will enter houses by night, even villages, and carry off domestic animals and children. Incredible as these statements may appear, about their truth there can be no doubt; such occurrences are by no means rare. This hyena has the reputation of entering graveyards, and disinterring the dead bodies to feed upon them.
His whole weight was upon me, and he had me in such a position that all struggling seemed vain; but with the thought strong upon me that the temptation of the gold had been too much for him, and that as some victim had evidently been sacrificed at its burial I was to fall at its disinterring, I bowed myself up, and the next moment should have endeavoured to throw him off, had not his lips been applied to my ear and a few words been whispered which sent the blood flowing, frightened, back to my heart, as the full extent of their meaning came home.
There is but one Wizard to disclose that secret, as all others, the old Grave- digger, whose Churchyard is the Earth, whose trade is to find burial- places for Passions that seemed immortal, disinterring the ashes of some long-crumbling Memory to hollow out the dark bed of some new-perished Hope: He who determines all things, and prophesies none, for his oracles are uncomprehended till the doom is sealed He who in the bloom of the fairest affection detects the hectic that consumes it, and while the hymn rings at the altar, marks with his joyless eye the grave for the bridal vow.

Filled with despair, and still inflamed by the memory of a profound attachment, the lover journeys from the capital to the remote province in which the village lies, with the romantic purpose of disinterring the corpse, and possessing himself of its luxuriant tresses. He reaches the grave.
'That's the witness-box, my dear sir, replied Perker, disinterring a quantity of papers from the blue bag, which Lowten had just deposited at his feet.

I interred the body of our ill-fated companion in the afternoon, and read the funeral service of the English Church over him. A large fire was afterwards made over the grave, to prevent the natives from detecting and disinterring the body. Our cattle and horses fortunately had not been molested.
We lean our backs against the walls, resting the packs on the projections which bristle from them. But we examine these things coming out of the earth, and we smell that they are knees, elbows and heads. They were interred there one day and the following days are disinterring them.
Turning to the lower division of the cupboard, I found more costly curiosities in the shape of ivory carvings from Japan and specimens of rare silk from China.
