Next day I, newly-arisen, came to the door of the hut just in time to see the last of a line of ten dropsical, bloated cows see- saw over the impregnable logs out of a trampled muddy waste that had been a garden. I rushed down. Too late by hours. Absolutely nothing remained, save a few mangled stalks. Oh! my cabbages ! that were to have paid the storekeeper's MORE IMPROVEMENTS— BULLOCKYS 103 bill, rent, rates, and left a few pounds in hand. Gone! all gone! With murder in my heart and profanity ...on my lips, I chased the horrible wretches, who, grunting with distension and, I fondly hope, suffering pangs of indigestion, could hardly get up a slow trot. The tangled grass tripped me up, and I could only stand swearing impotently, and throw a few futile sticks at the brutes waddling heavily across the creek, where they lined up on the opposite bank, turned round and grinned — grinned at me. Ever see a cow grin? Wait till they manage to crawl into your cultivation patch, or land a hefty kick home when you're putting the leg-rope on, and then you'll find out.
