Steedman's accounts of the terrible havoc occasioned by the hyænas of South Africa, and says, that in the district of Somerset, they destroyed seventy foals in one year, belonging to the farmers; he, however, believes, that they never attack human beings by night or by day, and that they come in packs and play the part of four-footed vultures, even devouring their own kindred if they should chance to be killed; but no other beast of prey will eat them, from the offensive rankness of their flesh.
As soon as she caught sight of the youth, who was running after the foals till the perspiration streamed down his face, she cried: 'Come hither, come hither, my handsome son, and let me comb your hair for you.
