New sights were in store.
Suddenly Barney, who was in the bow, raised his head and cried:
“Did any of yez iver see the loikes av that?”
“What”? asked Harmon.
“On me worrud, it’s the biggest man I iver see in me loife!”
Harmon and the others now saw the cause of Barney’s surprise.
Upon a point of land jutting into the river stood a man.
But he was not of the ordinary type.
He seemed more than seven feet tall, with limbs and body of Herculean proportion.
He was dressed in a barbarous and wild fashion.
