Alcatraz

CHAPTER IX
14/19

These gangling creatures, all legs and foolishness, are not of our kind, O my master.

Let us be gone!" But Alcatraz heeded her not.
He shook the gate back and forth.
There are three kinds of fastenings for corral gates.

One of them squeaks and strains when it is pulled against.

It is made of wire that leaves a bitter taste of iron and rust in the mouth when it is touched.
Wire is often very difficult but with teeth and prehensile upper lip it may usually be worked up high, and finally it will fall over the top of one of the posts with a rattle, and then the gate is open.

Another kind of fastening rattles very much when the gate is shaken.
