When they have passed, comes the last figure of all, a gigantic crocodile. We shall see for whom she is looking presently. WHEN THEY HAVE PASSED COME THE LAST FIGURE OF ALL A GIGANTIC CROCODILE WE SHALL SEE FOR WHOM SHE IS LOOKING PRESENTLY
atest danger, comes Tiger Lily, proudly erect, a princess in her own right. She is the most beautiful of dusky Dianas and the belle of the Piccaninnies, coquettish, cold and amorous by turns; there is not a brave who would not have the wayward thing to wife, but she staves off the altar with a hatchet. Observe how they pass over fallen twigs without making the slightest noise. The only sound to be heard is their somewhat heavy breathing. The fact is that they are all a little fat just now after the heavy gorging, but in time they will work this off. For the moment, however, it constitutes their chief danger. The redskins disappear as they have come like shadows, and soon their place is taken by the beasts, a great and motley procession: lions, tigers, bears, and the innumerable smaller savage things that flee from them, for every kind of beast, and, more particularly; all the man-eaters, live cheek by jowl on the favoured island. Their tongues are hanging out, they are hungry to-night. INGING UP THE REAR THE PLACE OF GREATEST DANGER COMES TIGER LILY PROUDLY ERECT A PRINCESS IN HER OWN RIGHT SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF DUSKY DIANAS AND THE BELLE OF THE PICCANINNIES COQUETTISH COLD AND AMOROUS BY TURNS THERE IS NOT A BRAVE WHO WOULD NOT HAVE THE WAYWARD THING TO WIFE BUT SHE STAVES OFF THE ALTAR WITH A HATCHET OBSERVE HOW THEY PASS OVER FALLEN TWIGS WITHOUT MAKING THE SLIGHTEST NOISE THE ONLY SOUND TO BE HEARD IS THEIR SOMEWHAT HEAVY BREATHING THE FACT IS THAT THEY ARE ALL A LITTLE FATTIOUS NOW AFTER THE HEAVY GORGING BUT IN TIME THEY WILL WORK THIS OFF FOR THE MOMENT HOWEVER IT CONSTITUTES THEIR CHIEF DANGER THE REDSKINS DISAPPEAR AS THEY HAVE COME LIKE SHADOWS AND SOON THEIR PLACE IS TAKEN BY THE BEASTS A GREAT AND MOTLEY PROCESSION LIONS TIGERS BEARS THE INNUMERABLE SMALLER SAVAGE THINGS THAT FLEE FROM THEM FOR EVERY KIND OF BEAST AND MORE PARTICULARLY ALL THE MAN EATERS LIVE CHEEK BY JOWL ON THE FAVORED ISLAND THEIR TONGUES ARE HANGING OUT THEY ARE HUNGRY TO NIGHT
