Tah!" rang out over our heads just like a mocking laugh, as a couple of jackdaws flew past, their dark shadows seeming to brush us softly as they swept by. "Now, then, Big. Don't stand gaping after those old powder-pates. Now: are you ready?" "Yes, I'm ready," cried Bigley. "And you, Sep? Come and catch hold of the bar. Now, then, altogether. Heave up, Big.

It was the unknown, objectified at last, in concrete flesh and blood, bending over him and reaching down to seize hold of him. His hair bristled involuntarily; his lips writhed back and his little fangs were bared. The hand, poised like doom above him, hesitated, and the man spoke laughing, "Wabam wabisca ip pit tah." The other Indians laughed loudly, and urged the man on to pick up the cub.

"All white men are bad," grumbled the squaw. "There is no good white man." Jacques silenced her with a gesture of impatience.
Yegorushka turned quickly forward, and trembling all over cried: "Panteley! Grandfather!" "Trrah! tah! tah!" the sky answered him. He opened his eyes to see if the waggoners were there. There were flashes of lightning in two places, which lighted up the road to the far distance, the whole string of waggons and all the waggoners.

Cautiously, as though afraid of being watched, he got on all fours, and his hands slipping on the wet bale, he turned back again. "Trrah! tah! tah!" floated over his head, rolled under the waggons and exploded "Kraa!" Again he inadvertently opened his eyes and saw a new danger: three huge giants with long pikes were following the waggon!
A sickening fear overcame her, and she shrank, shuddering, from the touch of the blood-smeared hands. A look of terror came into her face; she covered her eyes with her hands as if to shut out the horror of it all, and, turning, fled blindly she knew not where. As she ran there still sounded in her ears the words of the high, thin chant the blighting curse of Yaga Tah.
