At this time there was a "pod" of seven killers running side by side with the whale and endeavouring to fasten to his lips whenever he came to the surface; and, just as the officer had succeeded in getting within firing distance and discharging the bomb, poor Gladiator came in the way, and was killed by the shot, much to the regret of the boat's crew.
I always deprecate bitter or despondent views, or exaggerating the importance of our feeble race for, after all, the whole time during which man has existed on earth is but as a brief swallow-flight compared with the abysmal stretches of eternity; but I confess that, when I see the flower of our race trained to become killers of men and awaiting the opportunity to exercise their murderous arts I feel a little sick at heart.
These are the men who are willing to hand out checks, or to leave their mirth and their employment and go to the firing line at their state capitols, to lock horns with the bull-headed killers of wild life who recognize no check or limit save the law. These are the men who are making and stocking game preserves, public and private, great and small.
As quickly as possible the men began hauling up to the stricken fish so that Allen might give it the lance, when to their astonishment the killers seized it and literally tore it to pieces in a few minutes. "If ever I felt mad enough to put an iron into a 'killer' it was then," he said, "but I couldn't do it.
She had seen them kill the strikers as mercilessly as the strikers had killed the scabs. And, unlike the strikers, the police were professional killers. They were not fighting for jobs. They did it as a business. They could have taken prisoners that day, in the angle of her front steps and the house. But they had not.
From July to November two 'schools' of killers may be seen every day, either cruising to and fro across the entrance of the bay, or engaged in a Titanic combat with a whale a 'right' whale, a 'humpback, or the long, swift 'fin-back. Never have they been known to tackle the great sperm-whale, except when one of those mighty creatures has been wounded by his human enemies.
On the eastern seaboard of Australia, however, the killers can be watched at work, even from the shore, particularly from any bluff or headland from which a clear view can be obtained of the sea beneath, and should there be a westerly wind blowing, their slightest movements may be observed; particularly when they are "cruising," i.e., watching for the approach of a "pod" of either humpback or fin-back whales.
"She would be a beautiful model. This is no common face." "Yes, but I still have to feel it, or want to feel it." "You must draw her. You could stay with us while you do it." "Let me think about it. I've got to go to the bathroom now, adjust my sling, take some pain killers." "Sure," said the Laotian.
Shipwrecked mariners drifting in the Antarctic seas would be things not dreamed of in the killers' philosophy, and might appear on closer examination to be tasty substitutes for seal and penguin. We certainly regarded the killers with misgivings. Early in the morning of April 12 the weather improved and the wind dropped. Dawn came with a clear sky, cold and fearless.
Not till they droppit frae the skies frae Zeppelins and German Gothas ha' armed men stood on British soil in centuries and they, the baby killers frae the skies, were no alarming when they came doon to earth. Now, wull we be changing all the things all our centuries ha' taught us to be good and useful? Maybe we wull.
