It was, therefore, irritating to have Pink thrust forward his red face and look him over sneeringly. "Aw, gwan," he cried, "lessee what you-all c'n do." The bunch of horsemen fell to one side, and Bob started Gray Eagle from well back in the field near the deserted wagons. He passed the mounted men and thundered through the lines of standing howlers.
As for the Indians, it seems with them to be "all fish," etcetera; and they devour all kinds indifferently, whether they be "howlers," or "ateles," or "capuchins," or "ouistitis," or "sajous," or "sakis," or whatever sort. In fact, among many Indian tribes, monkey stands in the same place that mutton does in England; and they consider it their staple article of flesh-meat.
Miller, when we presented the monkeys to him, told us that the females both of these monkeys and of the howlers themselves took care of the young, the males not assisting them, and moreover that when the young one was a male he had always found the mother keeping by herself, away from the old males.
Mixed flocks of scores of cormorants and darters covered certain trees, both at sunset and after sunrise. Although there was no deep forest, merely belts or fringes of trees along the river, or in patches back of it, we frequently saw monkeys in this riverine tree-fringe active common monkeys and black howlers of more leisurely gait.
They are as follow: The Sapajous, whose tails are not only prehensile, but naked underneath, and tubercled near the tips; the Sajoas, who possess the prehensile power, but have hairy tails; and the Sajouins, whose tails are not prehensile. For want of a better, this classification may be adopted. The Sapajous are subdivided into three genera, of which the Howlers form one.
Thank God, people are no longer ready to cast ridicule upon what some used to consider the foolish presumption of women to know as much as the men, and this is doubtless due to the fact that the disastrous results predicted by the calamity howlers, the terrible prophets of failure, have not materialized.
I could scarcely suppose that animals of such a size could make so much noise. "You have there some of my friends who serenaded you last night," observed the recluse, when, after a few minutes, the monkeys ceased howling. "These are the mycetes, or ursine howlers. The creature is called in this country araguato, and sometimes by naturalists the alouatte.
He walked back to the waiting row, smiling quizzically. "Well, you calamity howlers, what do you think of it?" Nobody answered, but everybody looked expectant. "Think he'd shoot?" inquired Orde of Tom North. "I know he would," replied North earnestly. "That crazy-headed kind are just the fellers to rip loose." "I think myself he probably would," agreed Orde.
George had become King William was natural enough; but what is to be said of changing the Turkish Knight into the Turkey Snipe? That was one of the "howlers" this youth perpetrated, amongst many others less striking, perhaps, but not less instructive. The whole thing showed plainly where the difficulty lay at the night-school.
It was not so; but the funerals of most people in decent circumstances at Cairo are attended by singers and howlers, and the performances of these people woke me in the early morning, and prevented me from remaining in ignorance of what was going on in the street below. These funerals were very simply conducted. The bier was a shallow wooden tray, carried upon a light and weak wooden frame.
