THE SIXTEENTH OFFICER’S STORY.
I went forth one day, purposing to make a journey, and fell in with a man whose wont it was to stop the way. When he came up with me, he offered to slay me and I said to him, “I have nothing with me whereby thou mayst profit.” Quoth he, “My profit shall be the taking of thy life.” “What is the cause of this?” asked I. “Hath there been feud between us aforetime?” And he answered, “No; but needs must I slay thee.” Therewithal I fled from him to the river-side; but he overtook me and casting me to the ground, sat down on my breast. So I sought help of the Sheikh El Hejjaj and said to him, “Protect me from this oppressor!” And indeed he had drawn a knife, wherewith to cut my throat, when, behold, there came a great crocodile forth of the river and snatching him up from off my breast, plunged with him into the water, with the knife still in his hand; whilst I abode extolling the perfection of God the Most High and rendering thanks for my preservation to Him who had delivered me from the hand of that oppressor.’

THE FOURTH OFFICER’S STORY.
We were sleeping one night on the roof, when a woman made her way into the house and gathering into a bundle all that was therein, took it up, that she might go away with it. Now she was great with child and near upon her term and the hour of her deliverance; so, when she made up the bundle and offered to shoulder it and make off with it, she hastened the coming of the pangs of labour and gave birth to a child in the dark. Then she sought for the flint and steel and striking a light, kindled the lamp and went round about the house with the little one, and it was weeping. [The noise awoke us,] as we lay on the roof, and we marvelled. So we arose, to see what was to do, and looking down through the opening of the saloon, saw a woman, who had kindled the lamp, and heard the little one weeping. She heard our voices and raising her eyes to us, said, “Are ye not ashamed to deal with us thus and discover our nakedness? Know ye not that the day belongeth to you and the night to us? Begone from us! By Allah, were it not that ye have been my neighbours these [many] years, I would bring down the house upon you!” We doubted not but that she was of the Jinn and drew back our heads; but, when we arose on the morrow, we found that she had ​taken all that was with us and made off with it; wherefore we knew that she was a thief and had practised [on us] a device, such as was never before practised; and we repented, whenas repentance advantaged us not.’

THE FOURTEENTH OFFICER’S STORY.
Before I entered this corporation, I had a draper’s shop and there used to come to me a man whom I knew not, save by his face, and I would give him what he sought and have patience with him, till he could pay me. One day, I foregathered with certain of my friends and we sat down to drink. So we drank and made merry and played at Tab; and we made one of us Vizier and another Sultan and a third headsman.
Presently, there came in upon us a spunger, without leave, and we went on playing, whilst he played with us. Then quoth the Sultan to the Vizier, “Bring the spunger who cometh in to the folk, without leave or bidding, that we may enquire into his case. Then will I cut off his head.” So the headsman arose and dragged the spunger before the Sultan, who bade cut off his head. Now there was with them a sword, that would ​not cut curd; so the headsman smote him therewith and his head flew from his body. When we saw this, the wine fled from our heads and we became in the sorriest of plights. Then my friends took up the body and went out with it, that they might hide it, whilst I took the head and made for the river.
Now I was drunken and my clothes were drenched with the blood; and as I passed along the road, I met a thief. When he saw me, he knew me and said to me, “Harkye, such an one!” “Well?” answered I, and he said, “What is that thou hast with thee?” So I acquainted him with the case and he took the head from me. Then we went on till we came to the river, where he washed the head and considering it straitly, said, “By Allah, this is my brother, my father’s son, and he used to spunge upon the folk.” Then he threw the head into the river. As for me, I was like a dead man [for fear]; but he said to me, “Fear not neither grieve, for thou art quit of my brother’s blood.”
Then he took my clothes and washed them and dried them, and put them on me; after which he said to me, “Get thee gone to thy house.” So I returned to my house and he accompanied me, till I came thither, when he said to me, “May God not forsake thee! I am thy friend [such an one, who used to take of thee goods on credit,] and I am beholden to thee for kindness; but henceforward thou wilt never see me more.”’

# Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror/Volume 2/Number 3/Speaking Heads

Speaking Heads
Magicians of old were very successful in turning to their purposes the then infant science of Acoustics. In the Labyrinth of Egypt, which contained twelve palaces and 1500 subterranean apartments, the gods were made to speak in a voice of thunder; and Pliny, in whose time this singular structure existed, informs us that some of the palaces were so constructed that their doors could not be opened without starting peals of thunder in the interior.
When Darius Hystaspes ascended the throne, and allowed his subjects to prostrate themselves before him as a god, the divinity of his character was impressed upon his worshippers by the burst of thunder and flashes of lightning which accompanied their devotion. It is not known for a fact how this thunder was achieved, but it is not improbable that they used the same sort of instrument that is now often used in our theaters for the same purpose—a thin sheet of iron, three or four feet long. Held by one corner between the finger and thumb, and shaken horizontally in a direction at right angles to the surface of the sheet, a great variety of sounds can be produced, sounds varying from the deep growl of distant thunder to the loud and explosive bursts which rattle in quick succession from clouds that are hanging low and directly overhead.
Among the most spectacular of the ancient priests' acoustic devices were the speaking heads, which were constructed for the purpose of representing the gods and uttering oracular responses. Of these, probably the speaking head of Orpheus, which uttered its responses at Lesbos, was the most famous. It was celebrated not only throughout Greece but even in Persia, and it had the credit of predicting, in the equivocal language of the heathen oracles, the bloody death which terminated the expedition of Cyrus the Great into Cythia.
Odin, the mighty magician of the North, who imported into Scandinavia the magical arts of the East, possessed a speaking head said to have been that of the sage Minos, which he had encased m gold, and which uttered responses that had all the authority of a divine revelation. The celebrated mechanic Gerbert, who filled the papal chair A.D. 1000, under the name of Sylvester II, constructed a speaking head of brass. Albertus Magnus is said to have executed a head in the Thirteenth Century which not only spoke but moved. It was made of earthenware; and Thomas Aquinas is said to have been so terrified when he saw it that he broke it in pieces, upon which the mechanist exclaimed, "There goes the labor of thirty years!"
It is known that usually in these speaking heads the sound was conveyed into the mouth by concealed pipes within the head and leading back to someone secreted in another room. Lucian expressly states that the imposter Alexander made his figure of Aesculapius speak by transmitting his voice through the gullet of a crane to the mouth of the statue.
