Here we see a bald-headed Pigmy hero riding triumphantly on a mighty crocodile, regardless of the open-mouthed, bellowing hippopotamus behind him.

Years later Mr. James Harrison brought several of the Pigmy men and women to England, and they performed at the Hippodrome.

Here, Mr Pigmy, conduct Mr Stutters to his cabin, and show him where the gunroom—ah!

Some writers trace a resemblance between this Mohammedan legend and the story of the "Pigmies and the Cranes."
