Of all unmannerly craft did you ever see the like?" Well might he exclaim, for there, tied up to the dock, lay the strangest-looking launch I had ever seen. Not that it could be called a launch, either, but it seemed to resemble a launch more than any other kind of boat. It was seventy feet long, but so narrow was it, and so bare of superstructure, that it appeared much smaller than it really was.
However, the sand was soft, so I dropped down and managed to escape. Cecil Rhodes had a rusty black pony named "Bandersnatch" which I occasionally rode when shooting, game being more or less plentiful within a few miles of the mine. He also owned one of the strangest-looking dogs I have ever seen.
Why had he chosen so insecure a foothold and made such a furious plunge at the fish? Over-eagerness, no doubt And then the next moment he noticed that her rod was still curved! "We'll get him yet, Mr. Moore!" she called to him, in the most good-humored fashion. "Come out on to the rock, and you'll see the strangest-looking salmon you ever saw in your life."

They seemed highly pleased at the capture, and signified that, in spite of its strange appearance, it was excellent for food. "Why, after all, it is only a tortoise!" exclaimed Arthur, who had been examining it. A tortoise it was, though the strangest-looking of its tribe, but not at all uncommon. It is found plentifully in Demerara, where its flesh is much esteemed.
"I want to hear about your old woman," said Gerty. "I was standing at the shop-door, about eleven o'clock, looking out, when I saw the strangest-looking figure coming down the street.
At no great distance from the Minnesota lay the strangest-looking craft I ever saw. It was a platform of iron, so nearly on a level with the water that the swash of the waves broke over it, under the impulse of a very moderate breeze; and on this platform was raised a circular structure, likewise of iron, and rather broad and capacious, but of no great height.
