There broke upon our ears, of a sudden, as we neared the wooded crest of the gulf, a weird and piercing scream an unnatural and repellent yell, like a hyena's horrid hooting! It rose with terrible distinctness from the thicket close before us. As its echoes returned, we heard confused sounds of other voices, excited and vibrant.
Another of the voices of the night is the whine the shell makes in coming; it is not unlike the cry the hyena utters as soon as it's dark in Africa: ``How nice traveller would taste, the hyena seems to say, and ``I want dead White Man. It is the rising note of the shell as it comes nearer, and its dying away when it has gone over, that make it reminiscent of the hyena's method of diction.
