He said that after the loads were removed Bowers had been holding the three ponies, who appeared to be quiet; suddenly one had tossed his head and all three had stampeded Snatcher making for home, Nobby for the Western Mountains, Victor, with Bowers still hanging to him, in an indefinite direction.
Wilson and P.O. Evans at once started after their ponies, and the former by means of a biscuit as a bait managed to catch Nobby west of Tent Island, but Snatcher arrived, with a single trace and dangling sledge, by himself at Cape Evans. Half an hour after Wilson had returned Bowers brought in Victor, who had a gash in his nose, and was very much distressed.
Then when it seemed as if the limit had been reached P.O. Evans saved the situation by putting the last pair of snow-shoes upon Snatcher, who at once began to go on without much pressure, and was followed by the other ponies. No halt was made for lunch, but after three or four laborious miles they found themselves engulfed in pressures which added to the difficulties of their march.
Crumb Snatcher at first was pleased to feel himself moving through the water. But as the dark waves began to rise his mighty heart began to quail. He longed to be back upon the land. He groaned aloud. "How quickly we get on," cried Puff Jaw; "soon we shall be at my land palace." Heartened by this speech, Crumb Snatcher put his tail into the water and worked it as a steering oar.

Half a mile out of Little Langbourne, Ellice put on the brake and alighted. "How is Snatcher?" she asked. Rundle touched his hat. A big and fearsome-looking man was Rundle.
The snatcher, here below, is ubiquitous and eternal as ubiquitous, as eternal, as the force of gravitation. He is likewise protean. Banish him he takes half a minute to change his visible form, and returns au galop.
James's Street Clubs nay, senators English and Irish; and even members of the House of Peers. The bass singer had made an immense hit with his song of 'The Body Snatcher, and the town rushed to listen to it. The curtain drew aside, and Mr. Hodgen appeared in the character of the Snatcher, sitting on a coffin, with a flask of gin before him, with a spade, and a candle stuck in a skull.
For the father of the gods, looking down, saw a warrior mouse coming on in the most dreadful onslaught of the whole battle. Slice Snatcher was the name of this warrior. He had come late into the field. He waited to split a chestnut in two and to put the halves upon his paws.
