37 325 Most species of urts are small, weighing less than a pound.
Details
10
37 374 But at that moment we heard, from down the passage, in the darkness, a hideous, but unmistakable human cry, which was followed, almost instantly, by a violent squealing of urts.
Details
10
37 375 "Urts!" cried a man.
Details
10
37 382 Ours, perhaps fearing to be separated in this place, we helpless, urts about, hurried behind.
Details
10
37 384 Also, in a moment, I could see a mound of twisting, squealing urts, clambering over and about something, biting at it.
Details
10
37 392 The lieutenant, the six men, two with lamps, stood back from the pile of frenzied urts.
Details
10
37 408 The fellow who had been pulling the urts aside now stood back.
Details
10
37 409 His hands and forearms were covered with blood, but much of it, I am sure, was from the fur and jaws of the urts.
Details
10
37 412 The urts now dragged the body of the dead urt, now half eaten, its bones about, to the wall, where they continued their feeding.
Details
10
37 417 Urts seldom attack their own kind unless their fellow behaves in an erratic fashion, as it might if injured or ill.
Details
10
37 433 Urts still squealed and stirred to the side.
Details
10
37 459 Too, the urts were quieter now.
Details
10
37 472 He had then cried out, as though under attack, and, doubtless at the same time, during that seemingly agonized, hideous cry, fired into the urts at point-blank range, thereby killing or wounding one of them, and initiating the feeding frenzy.
Details
10
37 477 He had killed two men in this fashion and, had the urts behaved differently, might have accomplished the destruction of one or two others.
Details
10
37 511 The first was he who had been given the unenviable task of separating the feeding urts.
Details
10
37 516 The urts had been much at him.
Details
10
37 518 He had been left where he was, that the urts would be less dangerous, from a heavy feeding.
Details
10
37 520 In this fashion, if the urts pressed on us again, there would be meat to interpose between us and their reawakened appetites.
Details
10
37 538 * * * * "Where are the urts?" asked the lieutenant.
Details
10
37 613 I heard urts in the pool below.
Details
10
37 618 There were several urts in the pool area, I knew, and, save for their fellow, and what they had had of the man by the gate, they had not eaten for two days.
Details
10
37 723 Urts began to knife instantly toward the vicinity of the pool over which the Lady Ilene was suspended.
Details
10
37 752 It was he who had been the first of the two men who had refrained from attacking the sleen, and had later been bloodied, separating the urts.
Details
10
37 758 Only a few feet below me urts were tearing at the bodies of Herminius and Titus.
Details
10
37 761 But she seemed of no interest now to the urts.
Details
10
37 765 I did not know, but I thought that the urts would not be able to reach her.
Details
10
37 769 Now she had another role to play, I suspected, one which had doubtless been projected for her earlier, one independent of the entry of the determined, tenacious black-tunicked men onto the walkway, the role of a dangling lure, one which might serve, for some purpose, as a distraction to urts.
Details
10
37 773 To be sure, she now seemed, as things had turned out, of little current interest to the urts.
Details
10
37 776 It was, presumably, a fortunate one for the Lady Ilene, particularly if the peasant had underestimated the capacity of the urts to leap from the water.
Details
10
37 795 Below me the urts were still feeding.
Details
10
37 803 The urts continued to feed.
Details
10
37 811 "Urts have taken him, under the water," called Abnik.
Details
10
37 813 "Of course," said the pit master, "that through which the urts enter it, through their nest".
Details
10
37 819 I did think it possible, as doubtless so, too, did the lieutenant, that the peasant might now, at this time, the urts otherwise occupied, successfully reach the nest, which would be above water, on the other side of the wall.
Details
10
37 826 He had lost blood from the bites of urts, when he had separated them, near the closed gate, earlier.
Details
10
37 828 The urts did seem to be feeding now.
Details
10
37 836 In dealing with urts there are certain things to be kept in mind.
Details
10
37 843 "The urts feed.
Details
10
37 845 "Urts took him!" said Abnik.
Details
10
37 849 Too, I supposed, in a short while, the urts about, it might be difficult to obtain remains sufficient to constitute convincing evidence to a fee giver that the task which had been agreed upon had been successfully accomplished.
Details
10
37 850 Tensius first, who had refrained from attacking the sleen in the passage, but who had later separated the urts, removed his helmet and set aside his bow.
Details
10
37 863 One of the urts, an arm in its jaws, was swimming back toward the nest.
Details
10
37 906 The urts continued to feed, turning the two bodies about in the water.
Details
10
37 927 "They are in the nest," said the lieutenant, "waiting for the way to clear of urts".
Details
10
37 954 "Urts," said the lieutenant.
Details
10
37 957 But if he had been killed in the nest, why had the urts not fed on him there? When I looked away from the water I saw that the lieutenant's attention was returned, intently, to the pool.
Details
10
37 968 The latter hypothesis was an interesting one, as water urts sometimes secure prey under the water, saving it for later, rather as certain predatory beasts will bury a kill, or place it in a tree, to be finished later.
Details
10
37 974 "If he had been killed by urts his body would have made that clear.
Details
10
37 976 The condition of the body, on the other hand, shows that it was not attacked by urts until either it was dead or unable to defend itself.
Details
10
37 1012 "Urts have him!" said the officer of Treve.
Details
10
37 1045 I could see the urts below us, at the bodies near the wall, beneath where we stood.
Details
10
37 1068 Abnik was now rolling lifeless in the water, lost in the midst of the urts and bodies.
Details
10
37 1080 "Could he live in such passages?" "Perhaps, on urts," said the pit master.
