But, in the midst of these yells and howls, a strange, unexpected--nay what seemed an impossible--cry had been heard!
Their fearful stone-tipped spears thrust in and out, to the accompaniment of their savage howls and the screams of the dying.
Suddenly he heard fierce howls, and a dog as tall as a donkey, with eyes like billiard balls, came towards him, showing his teeth, which were like the prongs of a fork.
Then three or four bugles played a little air, which it was impossible to hear because of the horrible howling and crying of dogs--such howls of misery you never heard--they made me shiver.
The former danced about the deck like a madman, uttering the most extravagant rhodomontades, intermingled with howls and imprecations, while the latter burst into tears, and continued for many minutes weeping like a child.
