　　Feeling hopeless and sick at heart, Tom turned away．For a quick moment his eyes met those of the cook, and he saw there a light of such hatred(憎恨)and fear that no words could describe．

　　The cook moved quietly closer．He whispered to Tom in a rough voice．“Don't be too clever．Mark my words．”And he went away．

　　Tom's thoughts did not delay going for long on the cook and his words．His friend was in trouble, how could he help him?He decided to slip(溜走)away as soon as possible in search of information that would clear Jay of all doubts and bring the true criminal to justice(法院)．

　　He has noticed a piece of old sailcloth(帆布)lying on the ship floor．With this and a length of string(绳子)he made a package which looked very much like the one the police had seized(逮捕)．His plan was to step to the shore and to hand it over just as the cook had ordered Jay to, hoping in this way to learn the truth about the criminals”activities．He could then persuade the police of his friend's innocence(无罪)．

　　By now it was dark．Taking the blankets out of Jay's empty bed．Tom piled them up in his own in the shape of a sleeping figure．How real it looked．With the blanket pulled up high around the figure's head he could almost believe he saw it breathing．Pleased with this, Tom moved quietly to the door．

　　He was about to open it when he felt it secretly turned to other way．Someone was outside and about to come in．Was his plan failed?Slipping quickly back behind the door as it opened．Tom waited．

　　It was the cook who was leaning(倚靠)forward now over the figure in the bed．His arm swung(挥舞)up．For an instant(立即)a long knife cut into it．

 BROOKSVILLE — It’s the time of year again, when young bears are on their own for the first time. And that means more sightings where bears usually aren’t supposed to be.

This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and firefighters chasing.

Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U. S. 19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.

" It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here, " said Niki Everitt, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.

Brooksville’s bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park. Police and firefighters tracked the bear through the park and the Brooksville Quarry golf course.

The bear then wounded down the middle of Broad Street before being surrounded near Luigi’s Pizza. An official with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission came with a tranquilizer spear(加入镇静剂的矛).planning to stick the bear by hand. "The guy saw the size of the bear and figured that wasn’t a great idea, "said Capt. Frank Phillips of the Brooksville Fire Department.

Emergency officials waited until a tranquilizer gun was brought from Land O’ Lakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.

It is not unusual for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are 2 years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.

"They’ re trying to find a land of their own, where they won ‘t get beat up, " said Lt. Rip Stalvey, a game commission spokesman.

Everitt said people should not be too concerned about the recent bear sightings, since" we have never had a bear attack in Florida."

Black bears mainly eat the tender and fresh leaves of Sabal palms, as well as acorns and berries. Recent weeks of dry weather likely have reduced their food supply.

"If we don’t get some relief soon," Everitt said," we’re probably going to see a lot more of it."
