"We had on board a lot o' wild animals fer a circus man, an' amongst 'em, was an orang outang, big an' fierce, I can tell you.

Well, this orang outang got out o' his cage one night, an' in the mornin' he couldn't be found.

We hunted an' hunted, an' the next night nobody wanted to go to sleep fer fear he'd wake up dead.

The cap'n had his family aboard and the wife she was 'most scart stiff an' wouldn't hardly leave her room." "And did you find the orang outang ?" asked Songbird, with interest.
"We did an' we didn't.

The fifth night after he was missing we heard a fearful noise right in a cage wot had a lion in it.
