At such a time I found find out for certain that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard ; and that Philip Pirrip , late of this parish , and also Georgiana wife of the above , were dead and buried ; and that Alexander , Bartholomew , Abraham , Tobias , and Roger , infant children of the aforesaid , were also dead and buried ; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard , intersected with dikes and mounds and gates , with scattered cattle feeding feed on it , was the marshes ; and that the low leaden line beyond was the river ; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind wind was rushing was the sea ; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid afraid of it all and beginning to cry cry , was Pip .

I and the other colts were feeding feed at the lower part of the field when we heard hear , quite in the distance , what sounded like the cry of dogs .
