Those that our travellers saw were the "guaribas," nearly black in colour, but with their hands covered with yellow hair, whence their name among the naturalists of "yellow-handed howler."
He is one of the most feared of all the people of the Green Forest. In summer when food is plentiful, Howler and Mrs. Wolf devote themselves to the bringing up of their family and are careful not to be overbold. But when winter comes, Howler and his friends get together and hunt in packs. With their wonderful noses they can follow Lightfoot the Deer and run him down.
"You you are getting on my nerves!" "I don't want to be a calamity howler," went on the foreman; "but we've got to face this thing. We'd better get ready to vamoose if Tom Swift doesn't reach here in time to fire that shot and he doesn't seem to be in sight." Once more Ned swept the sky with his glasses. The roar of the water below them could be plainly heard now.
Howler soon found out that there was something wrong with pieces of meat left about, and now it is seldom that any of his family come to harm in that way. He is equally cunning in discovering traps, even traps buried in one of his trails. Sometimes he will dig them up and spring them without being caught.

Her lack of familiarity with social customs and all that, I know I can remedy. Oh, I expect a busy time with her, and I know I shall have to be tactful and kind, but don't you think I can be?"
But nothing came to me, and the drowned secret of Shelley's death those waves which were his grave revealed not. "Howler and scooper of storms! capricious and dainty sea!" Meanwhile the incantation swelled in shrillness, the electric shudders deepened.
He was thinking back along his life to where false alarms of Indian outbreaks had played a very large part in the Tomahawk's affairs, and how little of the ranch work would ever have been done had they listened to every calamity howler that came along. Honey was talking, and he was answering partly at random, when she suddenly laughed and got up. "You must be in love, Bud Birnie.
It delights him to find me out in a howler makes him, in fact, quite good-tempered for twenty minutes. 'As to the rest of the family, there is a charming boy and girl twins of nineteen, the boy just off to an artillery camp after his cadet training; the girl extremely pretty and distinguished, and so far inclined to think me an intruder and a nuisance.
