Excerpt from Jess

Just then his cogitations were interrupted, for on the farther side Of a gentle slope there suddenly appeared an extraordinary sight. Over the crest Of the rise of land, now some four or five hundred yards away, a pony with a lady on its back came wildly galloping, and after it, with wings spread and outstretched neck, a huge cock ostrich was Speeding along, covering twelve or fifteen feet at every stride Of its long legs. The pony was still twen ty yards ahead of the bird, and coming towards John rapidly, but strive as it would it could not distance the swiftest thing on all the earth. Five seconds passed - the great bird was close alongside now Ah! And John Niel turned Sick and Shut his eyes as he rode, for he saw the ostrich's thick leg fly high into the air and then sweep down like a leaded bludgeon.'
