"Holy Saint Pat!" gasped Tim, throwing his rifle to port and bracing his feet. "Now look what I went and done! Is that the echo, or a couple dozen jaggers all fightin' to oncet?" "Guariba, Senhor Ree-ann," snickered Joao. "Not jaguars no. Only one little guariba monkey. The howler." "G'wan! Ye're kiddin'!" "But no, amigo. It is as I tell you. One monkey. It is sunset, and the jungle awakes."
The efficient McGuffey promptly kicked her wide open, and the Fates decreed that, having done so, Mr. McGuffey should forthwith climb the ladder and thrust his head out on deck for a breath of fresh air. Instantly a chorus of shrieks up on the fo'castle head attracted his attention to such a degree that he failed to hear the engine room howler as Mr. Gibney blew frantically into it.
"Howling northeast gale" Tanrade read aloud "Duck and geese come midnight train, bring two hundred fours, one hundred double zeros for ten bore." "Vive le curé!" I shouted, "the good old boy to let us know. A northeast gale at last a howler," he says. "He is charming the curé," breathed Alice, her breast heaving "Charming!" she repeated in a voice full of suppressed emotion.
We shall come out again as easily, never fear. The whitewashed room was pure white as of old, the methodical book-keeping was in peaceful progress as of old, and some distant howler was banging against a cell door as of old. The sanctuary was not a permanent abiding-place, but a kind of criminal Pickford's.
Panther and Mr. Coyote and Mr. Fox, and when he met them, he lifted his tail a little more proudly than ever. Sometimes he would howl out of pure mischief just to spoil the hunting of the others. So, little by little, he began to be spoken of as Howler the Wolf, and after a while everybody called him Howler.
But once in a long while there'll be a howler, and that's what the barometer is trying to tell us now. As we have only harf a crew on each yacht I think we'd better make a bee-line in. 'Twill take us twenty miles north of where we were, and those fellows carn't see us."
Carter was construing, and had made a most preposterous howler, it does not matter what. He had learnt the translation in the notes by heart, and quite failed to connect it verbatim with the Greek. "There now, you see how utterly absurd you are," said the Chief. "You have not taken the trouble to look the words up in a dictionary.
"Don't be a calamity howler!" exclaimed Ned. "Frank will come back to us. The chums can't be separated." "I hope that's true," put in Bart, from where he was sitting under a tree, smoothing one of the canoe paddles. "All our fun will be spoiled if we have to break up the quartette. "Hark! What's that?" asked Fenn, sitting up suddenly. They all listened.
At dawn and at sunset the howler monkeys screamed together and the parrakeets broke into shrill chatter, but during the hot hours of the day only the full drone of insects, like the beat of a distant surf, filled the ear, while nothing moved amid the solemn vistas of stupendous trunks, fading away into the darkness which held us in.
Examples are the chameleon among lizards, our own little harvest mouse, and, pre-eminent above all, the American monkeys. To a howler, or spider-monkey, its long tail is a swing and a trapeze in its forest gymnasium. I should like to see that too. It is worth noting, by the way, that no old-world monkey has attained to this application of its tail.
