My fellow had electric head lights, a sparking plug in his tail, that could sling you 14 feet if you touched it & he swallowed a pack horse with the pack saddle & bags on easily, excepting that he coughed slightly when one of the pack saddle hooks made a small wound about 14 feet long in his side through which the pack horse escaped unhurt. If Frank has anything better than this up his trouser leg let him list[?] it out & I will see what I can hunt up on the table land in the way of OS worms.
