The latter, however, attracted our attention more than did the wonderful wings, for as we stood aghast and amazed we discerned that the vast body of the colossus did not represent that of a bat, but the gigantic jaws were those of a crocodile.

"As thy companion he shall accompany thee to the grave," Samory cried fiercely, his eyes swimming in malice. "So be it," answered Omar, with a smile of contempt. "May Zomara curse thy work." "Speak, infidel!" Samory said, fixing his fiery glance upon me. "Whence comest thou?" "From England," I answered briefly, in fear.

The Naya hath disappeared as completely as if Zomara had crushed her between his jaws." "Her disappearance is amazing," Omar observed.
