Our little corps rush in to carry off our men as they are shot down, killed and wounded.
But we don't want to see him " Selma shuddered and covered her eyes with her hands " lying dead in some alley, shot or stabbed by some unknown thug!" Selma made it so vivid that Jane saw the whole tragedy before her very eyes.
But treacherous and murderous Thug of the Sea as he is, the octopus has one dreaded foe before whom he flees in terror, and compresses his body into the narrowest and most inaccessible cleft or endeavours to bury himself in the loose, soft sand and that foe is the orange-coloured or sage-green rock eel.

I don't like the look of the leader of this party. He may be a respectable trader, he may be a Dacoit or a Thug. I want you to keep a sharp lookout, without seeming to do so.

To them, punishment is no example; they have no sympathy for a brother Thug who is hung at his own door by the British Government, nor have they any dread of his fate.
