"Shut your throats, colts," Towy rebuked the people. "Say after me: 'Go round my backhead, Satan." "Go round my backhead, Satan," the people obeyed. "Catch him and skin him," Towy screamed. "Teach him we will to snook about here." Fear arming his courage, Satan shouted: "He who hurts me him shall I pitch head-long to the flames."
Once Rick saw a snook that would have been worth taking, but the fish sped off into the watery gloom. Again, Scotty called his attention to a deadly scorpion fish. This small, rather weird-looking little creature had a dangerous defense mechanism in the spines of his back. His poison bore a strong resemblance to cobra venom. The boys gave him a wide berth.
Save an Eskimo settlement of half a dozen huts near Fort Pelican and the families of Lem Horn and Jerry Snook, the country lying between The Jug and Fort Pelican was uninhabited. It was unlikely that evening would find the travellers in the vicinity of either Horn's or Snook's cabins, and therefore it was to be a camping trip, which was quite to the liking of the boys.
Thus it may be seen that the ancient tithingman was pre-eminently a general snook, to use an old and expressive word, an informer, both in and out of meeting, a very necessary, but somewhat odious, and certainly at times very absurd officer.
