The Basking Cyclone

The Basking Cyclone

A Negro in a boat, gathering driftwood, saw a sleeping Alligator, and, thinking it was a log, fell to estimating the number of shingles it would make for his new cabin.  Having satisfied his mind on that point, he stuck his boat-hook into the beast’s back to harvest his good fortune.  Thereupon the saurian emerged from his dream and took to the water, greatly to the surprise of the man-and-brother. “I never befo’ seen such a cyclone as dat,” he exclaimed as soon as he had recovered his breath.  “It done carry away de ruf of my house!”
