Watching with horrified fascination, Stern and Beatrice beheld and heard the creature sniff the air, as though taking up some scent of danger or of the hunt. Then up came the right arm; they saw the claw-hand with a spear, poise itself a moment. From the open mouth burst with astounding force and suddenness a snarling yowl, inarticulate, shrill, horrible beyond all thinking.
Then, stifling with an effort all the finer feelings which should have made such an act impossible, he administered so vigorous a tweak to that appendage that Thomas, with one frenzied yowl, sprang through the bush past the two masters and vanished at full speed into the opposite hedge. "My goodness!" said Mr Kay, starting back.
I know who he shall hear. Here, good dog, sing psalm; good dog, sing psalm, and thereupon a long loud melancholy howl rose wailing through the night air. "If that be not my dear old dog Sneezer, it is a deuced good imitation of him," thought I. The woman again spoke "Yowl leetle piece more, good dog," and the howl was repeated. I was now certain.
With the terrible gear hanging jauntily over his eye and his two guns drawn, he walked straight out into the middle of the square in front of the Palace Hotel, and drew the attention of all Tin Can by a blood-curdling imitation of the yowl of a mountain lion. This was when the long suffering populace arose as one man. The top-hat had been flaunted once too often.
"They were looking a hole in me. If you'd seen that cat you would realize my state of mind. That was a traditional graveyard yowl." "I don't think you saw anything at all," he lied cheerfully. "You dozed off, and the rest is the natural result of a meal on a buffet car."
It was neither a growl nor a grunt, although it was both of these; it was not a yowl nor a groan, although it was both of these: for it was one sound made up of these sounds, and there was in it, too, a whine and a yelp, and a long-drawn snoring noise, and a deep purring noise, and a noise that was like the squeal of a rusty hinge, and there were other noises in it also.
"You're thinkin' it's a yowl," said another. "But you've got him wrong. He's a jackass, come a-courtin'." "A man can't get no sleep at all, scarcely," grumbled another. But Owen had accomplished his purpose. For during the exchange of amenities Randerson had answered him without turning, though: "What you wantin', Red?" he said. "You figger we've got 'em all out of the timber?" repeated Owen.
Instead, he pounced upon a big yellow-throated beast weighing a pound and a half, and known colloquially as a "sockdolliger" or a "joogger-room." There followed a scuffling rush, a grunt, a startled yowl, and a swirl of water; then Omar Ben came up coughing, minus his frog, but plus an overcoat of mud and disappointment. "Great snakes!" yelled Pete. "Ain't yer got no gumption 't all?
The smoke curled up pathetically from the Yukon stovepipe. The two Incapables were watching them from the doorway. Sloper laid his hand on the other's shoulder. 'Jacques Baptiste, did you ever hear of the Kilkenny cats? The half-breed shook his head. 'Well, my friend and good comrade, the Kilkenny cats fought till neither hide, nor hair, nor yowl, was left. You understand? till nothing was left.
It was a calm, clear night and before long the town was wrapped in slumber, and only the occasional bark of a dog or yowl of a cat broke the stillness. Out on the river nothing was stirring. It was after midnight, and Snap had almost reached the conclusion that the alarm had been a false one, when, looking from one of the little windows, he saw two figures approaching the boathouse.
