The first of the hunters had returned, bringing two big red howlers. Others drifted in at intervals, and not one returned empty handed; for here in the virgin jungle the game was plentiful, particularly at this early hour. Soon the air was heavy with the odor of broiling meat, and from the fire of the Brazilians the fragrance of coffee was wafted to the nostrils of the recumbent Knowlton.
Among the howlers is a negro, who is six feet three at least, not in his socks, but in the finest pair of under-shoes in the room, and whether it be in the ceremony of kissing the floor, knocking foreheads against the same, kissing the hand of the priest, or in the howling and bodily contortions, this towering son of Ham performs his part with a grace that brings him conspicuously to the fore in this respect.
The names are sufficiently suggestive hell's kitchen gang, stable gang, dead men, floaters, rock, pay, hock gang, the soup-house gang, plug uglies, back-alley men, dead beats, cop beaters, and roasters, hell benders, chain gang, sheeny skinners, street cleaners, tough kids, sluggers, wild Indians, cave and cellar men, moonlight howlers, junk club, crook gang, being some I have heard of.
'I think we must ask Aunt Jane There was a howl. 'Oh, please, mamma, don't let Aunt Jane get all the things! We do so want to choose. 'You impatient monsters! You haven't heard me out, and you don't deserve it. 'Oh, mamma, I beg your pardon! 'Oh, mamma, please! 'Oh, mamma, pray! cried the most impatient howlers, dancing round her.
At a gesture from their Cargo-master, the I-S men set down a small chest. Groft, his chin resting on a clenched fist, lost none of his lazy air. "They are received," he retorted with the formal acceptance. "And no one can have too much good fortune. The Howlers of the Black Winds know that." But he tendered no invitation to join the feast. Kallee did not appear to be disconcerted.
Dashing the tears from her eyes, and assuming an indifferent manner, Schillie said, "Madame, spare your rejoicings until we land; and you howlers," turning to the maids, "keep your noise for a fitting occasion.
One night the Chair was occupied by the Senior Officer, surrounded by his staff, in a halo of cigarette smoke. Everybody wanted to sing, and dismal howlers who, ordinarily, would die first, were driven, tempted, lured, impelled to howl for drink.
On the day of the game the midshipmen talked eagerly, and mostly of football, through dinner in the great messhall of the brigade. "Infants, eh!" called Joyce from the next table. "That shows you didn't see the visiting eleven." "Why? Are they of fair size?" asked Farley. "It took two 'buses to bring the regular eleven, besides the subs and all the howlers," retorted Joyce.
It was a howler, probably the Mycetes stramineus of Geoffroy St. Hilaire. The howlers are the only kinds of monkey which the natives have not succeeded in taming. They are often caught, but they do not survive captivity many weeks. The one of which I am speaking was not quite full grown.
They were true howlers, as they had already proved by the cries they had been uttering for the half-hour past. There are several species of howling monkeys, as we have already stated. Those that had arrived on the igaripe Guapo pronounced to be araguatoes.
