Text Appearing Before Image:
ver the animal does succeed in up-setting or breaking the boat, the men haverecourse to a curious expedient. They diveto the bottom of the river, and grasp astone, a root, or an3thing that will keepthem below the surface, and hold on as longas their lungs will allow them. The reasonfor this manoeuvre is, that when the animalhas sent the crew into the river, it raises itshead, as seen on page 000, and looks abouton the surface for its enemies. It has noidea of foes beneath the surface, and if itdoes not see anything that looks like a man,it makes off, jind so^ allows the hunters toemerge, half drowned, into the air. Inorder to keep ofl* the animal, spears arefreely used; some being thrust at him byhand, and others flung like javelins.

The head is one huge mass ofsolid bone, so thick and hard that even fire-
