"Wish it had made a dint in his skull," said Bostock. "Beasts! how I do hate 'em! Dessay there's lots more, so we shall have to take care." "How big was it, Bob?" said Carey, triumphantly. "Oh, I wouldn't like to say, sir. I've seen a lot of 'em in my time Africa, Indy, and in Chinee waters, as well as off the east coast yonder; but I should think this must be all you said.
