The lioness was 9 feet 1 inch in length, and, when skinned, the body was dragged to a considerable distance and left for the hyenas.
We went as far as the spot where the first attack on us was made, finding only a few rifles as we went, noticing on our way sixteen dead horses ghastly-looking objects, for near every one numerous loathsome birds rose heavily, flying to a short distance; and footprints all around in the soft earth showed that hyenas had been at the miserable banquet.
For a moment I was taken all aback; but being loathe to give up my little companion a prey to imaginary jackalls, tiger-cats, and hyenas, I rallied again, resolved upon one more desperate effort for his deliverance. "Well," said I, "the fact is, we don't know exactly where the Swiss Family Robinson's island really was it is altogether uncertain.
Pringle pitched the rifle over. A moment later he staggered out between the rocks, bearing Foy's heavy weight in his arms. The head hung helpless, blood-spattered; the body was limp and slack; the legs dragged sprawling; the dreaded hands were bound. Pringle laid his burden on the grass. "Here he is, you hyenas! His hands are tied are you still afraid of him? Damn you!
Beth bent her gaze on the drama, far below a play in which she knew but one of the characters, and nothing of the meaning of the scene. "I see yes something like a lot of tiny ants or something. What are they? not robbers? not men?" "Part men, part hyenas," he told her quietly. "It's a lot of State convicts, escaped from their prison, two days free and desperate." She was suddenly very pale.
This space, then overgrown with dense underwood, and with grass double the height of a man, contains a motley assemblage of wild beasts lions, panthers, hyenas, elephants, and serpents of extraordinary form and bulk.
Take each of you a rifle and proceed with caution; above all, do not go far apart from each other; do not fire without taking good aim, and only in case of self-defence or absolute necessity; for this time it does not appear to be a question of bears and hyenas, but, as far as we are able to judge, one of our own species."
I would take them to the cage, and tell them to just talk soothing to the hyenas through the bars, and when the hyenas began to get tame and act as though it would give them pleasure to be curried off, and laid down and rolled over, and purred like a cat that wanted to be scratched, and acted as though they would eat out of one's hand, the boys might call me, and I would have the cage opened and they could go in and curry them off.
The hyenas and panthers and leopards have slaughtered a host of my sheep and goats, and the lions and tigers have banqueted on some of my most promising colts and on many of my cattle. "Can you duplicate your feat with the panther loose on the highway?" "I can repeat it as often as I can get anywhere near any of those beasts by daylight," I said. "Let us start at once.
The man who had opened the pot dropped out. "Enough's a-plenty. Me, I got no business trailing along with you hyenas," he explained. "Different here," commented the boy. "My cards look good enough for another hike." Culvera examined his hand carefully, met the raise, and picked up the deck. The Mexican with the scar interposed. "But one moment, señor. Let us make it a good pot."
