Many of the eggs, too, are destroyed, before they are hatched, by vultures and other birds, as well as by serpents. Men also gather them by hundreds, boil them and dry them in the sun to preserve them for use or sale." "The miserable young things seem to have a poor chance of life then," said Mark, sleepily. "Das so, massa. I'd rader be a nigger dan a crokindile."
