Why, I've seen our common English snake go into a stream and swim beautifully with its head reared above the water, and after swimming about for some time, come out." "Think of that now!" said Tom.

'Gaze on that vast wild empire of the Tartar, where the descendants of Jenghis 'multiply and disperse over the immense waste desert, which is as boundless as the ocean. Sail with the early Northern discoverers, and penetrate to the heart of winter, among sea-serpents and bears and tusked morses with the faces of men.

"Too much 'Frisco tanglefoot for the health of my crew!" Wolf Larsen shouted after. "This one" indicating me with his thumb "fancies sea-serpents and monkeys just now!"
