| When the man was dead an examination disclosed the unmistakable marks of an animal's fangs deeply sunken into the jugular vein. Kantos Kan perceived my coup and stepping quickly to my side he placed his foot upon my neck and withdrawing his sword from my body gave me the final death blow through the neck which is supposed to sever the jugular vein, but in this instance the cold blade slipped harmlessly into the sand of the arena. The neck was broken and the jugular severed as by the fangs of a wild beast. |
