_"A few minutes later, a passing eaglenoticed it there.
The eagle, having never before beenpresented with this classic opportunitycarried it off.
The Eagle found keeping hold of it moredifficult than he had expected.
He attempted to get a further grip on itwith his break.
There was a wet sort of explosion,audible for several miles.
And that, thank heavens! was the endof the Beastly Baby."_
