In the struggle the baby's head came off, upon which the Little Bear put the head into its mouth and swallowed it.
The Big Bear immediately did the same with the body; but its mouth was too small, and the body stuck fast and could not be finally disposed of until the Little Bear came to the rescue and pushed it forcibly down its throat.

Having finished this delicate little morsel the two bears rose on their hind legs and danced a hornpipe together--Tom Singleton playing the tune for them on a flute behind the scenes.

When this was done they danced off the stage, and immediately, as if in the distance, was heard the voice of a man singing.

It came gradually nearer, and at last Buzzby, in the character of Ben Bolt, swaggered up to the foot-lights with his hands in his breeches pockets.
"I'm a jolly, jolly tar, Wot has comed from afar, An' it's all for to seek my fortin"-- sang Buzzby.

"But I've not found it yit," he continued, breaking into prose, "and there don't seem much prospect o' findin' it here anyhow.
Wot an 'orrible cold place it is, ugh!" Buzzby was received with enthusiastic cheers, for he was dressed in the old familiar blue jacket, white ducks, pumps, and straw hat set jauntily on one side of his head--a costume which had not been seen for so many months by the crew of the _Dolphin_, that their hearts warmed to it as if it were an old friend.
Buzzby acted with great spirit, and was evidently a prime favourite.
