The eldest unfastened the letter from the pigeon's neck, and read what his sister had written: 'I am in a great strait, my brothers. If you do not rescue me to-night, to-morrow I shall be no longer living, for the man-eater has broken open six doors, and only the iron door is left. So haste, haste, post haste. 'Quick, quick! my brothers, cried he. 'What is the matter? asked they.
'If you have a big lump you must give me a strip of your skin from your ear to your thumb, and if you have a little lump, you must give me a strip from your ear to your little finger. Udea, who thought that one sounded as bad as the other, said she would take the big lump, and when the man-eater had cut the skin, she went home again.
Ghyrkins put his head out of his tent and wanted to know "what the deuce all this tamäsha was about." "Oh, nothing especial," I called out. "Isaacs has killed an eleven foot man-eater in the night. That is all." "Well I'm damned," said Mr. Ghyrkins briefly, and to the point, as he stared from his tent at the great carcass, which lay stretched out for all to see, the elephant having departed.
"The last time I went to jail," she related, "I had chained myself to the gallery in the House of Commons, and, when they tried to release me, I bit a policeman hard!" "Oh, you man-eater!" It was Cicily who uttered the exclamation, half-reproachfully, half-banteringly. "I fail to see why, if one should prefer even Chicago roast beef to an Irish policeman, that should be held against one."
Just as it was about to snap up the poor fisherman, the man-eater saw its new adversary, repositioned itself on its belly, and headed swiftly toward him. I can see Captain Nemo's bearing to this day.
The man-eater took a knife and walked up to Kut-o-yis´ and cut his throat and put him into a great stone pot to cook. When the meat was cooked he pulled the kettle from the fire and ate the body, limb by limb, until it was all eaten. After that the little girl who was watching came into the lodge and said, "Pity me, man-eater, my mother is hungry and asks you for those bones."
We swallow it hurriedly, wrap a sarong about us, and take a dip in the sea, the while keeping our eyes open for sharks. Often, after a bath, while stretched out in a long chair, we see the black fins of a man-eater cruising just outside the reef. I do not know that I ever hit one, but I have used a good deal of lead firing at them.
Although the tiger as a "man-eater" is a terrible scourge, and frequently inflicts incredible loss upon the population of a district, there are tigers in existence which would never attack a human being, although they exist upon the cattle of the villages, and have every opportunity of seizing women and children in their immediate neighbourhood.
He was a lion who roamed at large over a great variety of hunting grounds, some of which it would be snobbish to mention; for many reasons he preferred Quicksands: a man-eater, a woman-eater, and extraordinarily popular, nevertheless.
At last they came to the king and said to him, 'O king! your palace is beautiful indeed, but to be worthy of you it lacks one thing the sword of the Man-eater. 'How can I get it? asked the king. 'Oh, Ciccu can get it for you; ask him. So the king sent for Ciccu and said to him, 'Ciccu, you must at any price manage to get the sword of the Man-eater.
