The sentence was five years' penal servitude. We now sailed for Halifax, arriving the next day. We disembarked from the Tamer, and took up our quarters in Wellington barracks, the time being near June.
But they thought it safer outside, and the rush for the exit continued. The lion kept on throwing himself against the door, as though trying to break out. "We must put the canvas back!" cried the tamer. "I'll help," offered Joe. But, even as he spoke, the lion with one last, desperate leap gave a bound against the side of the cage that almost overturned it.
"He got me some medicine once, when I had a terrible toothache, and I'll never forget it." "And will he not ever be able to appear in public again?" asked Señor Bogardi, the lion tamer.
