 70 1,3|            the sailor was the reply. Top's collar was made of a thin
 71 1,3|            with sharp points. It was Top who had famished these points,

 80 1,6|            is far from pleasant. But Top was not so particular in
 81 1,6|        astonishment. ~At this moment Top, who had been very quiet
 82 1,6|          first paid any attention to Top's behavior; but the dog'
 83 1,6|         noticed it. ~"What is there, Top?" he asked. ~The dog bounded

 87 1,6|         return to the Chimneys, when Top gave new signs of agitation.
 88 1,6|       thought of bending their bows, Top, seized by the dugong, had
 89 1,6|            his hand, wished to go to Top's help, and attack the dangerous
 90 1,6|       struggle, for in his situation Top could not possibly resist;
 91 1,6|          middle of a foaming circle, Top reappeared. Thrown in the
 92 1,7|            cannot explain either how Top was so vigorously cast up
 93 1,8|             returned to the plateau, Top accompanying them. ~On the
 94 1,8|              narrow passage. You see Top has got before us!" ~"Very
 95 1,8| communication with the sea. However, Top kept at the head of the
 96 1,8|            farther down-" ~"Where is Top?" asked Neb, interrupting
 97 1,8|        clearly to the ear. ~"That is Top barking!" cried Herbert. ~"
 98 1,8|            to the help of their dog. Top's barking became more and
 99 1,8|             feet lower they rejoined Top. ~There the passage ended
100 1,8|             and magnificent cavern. ~Top was running backwards and
101 1,8|           not a human being; and yet Top continued to bark. Neither

103 1,8|          should like very much to be Top just for a quarter of an

111 1,1|             home there, disturbed by Top, rushed forth into the open
112 1,1|            sort of barking, at which Top seemed to be very much astonished,
113 1,1|          Herbert much regretted that Top had not been able to catch
114 1,1|         Herbert called them tadorns. Top helped in the capture of

116 1,2|           the back of the storeroom, Top uttered singular growlings.
117 1,2|           but yet how to explain why Top, one of those sensible dogs
118 1,2|             to cause his uneasiness? Top's conduct puzzled Cyrus
119 1,2|           from what perhaps was only Top's fancy. ~At last the cold

130 2,5|         about seven or eight minutes Top stopped in a glade surrounded
