"The day before yesterday he destroyed a man from the village. He has eaten five men in the last moon. I have seen him enter his lair, and he will surely return before the dawn; and the sahib shall strike him by his lightning; and the sahib will not refuse me the ears of the man-eater, that I may make a jädu, a charm against sudden death?"
My Indian boatmen claimed this fish was a man-eater and that he and his crew had once fought one all day and then it broke away. The fish I saw was huge enough to swallow a man, that was certain. I think this species must have been the great June-fish of the Gulf. I hooked one once at the mouth of the Panuco River in Mexico and it nearly swamped the boat.
And when the man-eater came, and called as usual, 'Udea, what did you see your grandfather doing? she answered, 'I saw him pull off the ass' skin and devour the ass, and he fell in the fire, and the fire burned him up. Then the man-eater was filled with rage, and he flung himself upon the iron door and burst it in.
She took them out and threw them to the dogs, crying, "Kut-o-yis´, the dogs are eating you," and again Kut-o-yis´ arose from the bones. When the man-eater had cooked him four times Kut-o-yis´ again went into the lodge, and seizing the man-eater, he threw him into the boiling kettle, and his wives and all his children, and boiled them to death.
On the other side stood Udea's seven brothers, who said, 'Come, rest yourself a little on this mat. And the man-eater sat down, and he fell right into the burning pit which was under the mat, and they heaped on more wood, till nothing was left of him, not even a bone.
The legend of the man-eater may even have been told by those who killed the last of the pterodactyls. Michel De Coucy, of Prairie de Rocher, Illinois, sat before his door humming thoughtfully, and trying to pull comfort out of a black pipe.. He was in debt, and he did not like the sensation.
She wished he would not take the trouble to be gracious to her, but he was always gracious to European ladies and there was no escape. The British polish over the Oriental suavity seemed to her a decidedly incongruous mixture. She infinitely preferred the purely Oriental. "My shikari has told me of a man-eater at Khantali," he said presently. "You have not seen a tiger-hunt yet?
And when the king saw that he really had brought back the Man-eater, he commanded a huge iron chest to be brought, and locked the coffin up inside. Just about this time the queen died, and soon after the king thought he should like to marry again. He sought everywhere, but he could not hear of any princess that took his fancy.
I have shot a 'man-eater' from the back of an elephant, and I found that the skin was not worth taking." "The Namaquas," replied Swinton, "told me that a lion, once enamored of human flesh, would, in order to obtain it so far overcome his caution, that he would leap through a fire to seize a man.
Then the queen was permitted to answer, but she remained hard, and said, "No, I did not open the forbidden door;" and the Virgin Mary took the new-born child from her arms, and vanished with it. Next morning when the child was not to be found, it was whispered among the people that the Queen was a man-eater, and had killed her own child.
