And as Dick spoke, he bared his wrist to look for the marks she had left on it: two small white scars, where the two small sharp upper teeth had struck when she flashed at him with her eyes sparkling as bright as those glittering stones sewed up in the belt he wore. "That's a filly worth noosing!" said Dick to himself, as he looked in admiration at the sign of her spirit and passion.
The brave man and the coward, the erect spirit fighting to the last, and the poor creature that despairs from the first, all are confounded in one undistinguishing end by sudden strangulation. This was the original defect of the plan. The sudden surprise, and the scientific noosing as with a Chilian lasso, constituted in fact a main feature of Thuggee.
Birds are killed on the wing, with bwirris, or whilst resting on the ground, or in the water, or upon branches of trees. They are also taken by spearing, by snaring, by noosing, and by netting. They resort to the lagoons or river flats, when flooded, and either wading or in canoes, chase and spear the wild fowl.
Mussey, the spoils of the captain's safe in his hands. Then one saw Monk, alarmed by the sudden failure of the lights, hurrying out to return to the bridge, the pantherish spring upon the victim's back, the swift, dextrous noosing of the handkerchief about his windpipe, the merciless tightening of it all abruptly illuminated by the white glare of Phinuit's electric torch.
"Have you much power in your arms?" "Yes," said Melton, "but not enough to go up that rope." "That's all right. I don't want you to go up the rope," returned Guy. "Here, put your feet together and stand straight." Hastily noosing the rope, he drew the knot tightly about Melton's legs just above the knee. "You take a good grip with your hands," he added.

One of the most intelligent was a female elephant about fifty years old, which we called Bulbul. She showed herself to be a keen sportswoman. A large quantity of rope is required for noosing the elephants. This is made from the fresh hides of the buffalo and deer.
I determined to catch as many as I could before securing some of the latter. Carefully climbing on, I set to work, and succeeded in noosing four of each species.
From these, strings are suspended with slip nooses, and when a sufficient number are set, the natives go away, to let the ducks come up to feed. This they soon do; and whilst poking their heads about in every direction a great many push them through the snares and get hung. Noosing waterfowl is another general and very successful mode of taking them.
