His hair was frizzed out to an enormous extent, so that it resembled a large turban.

It was of a light-yellow hue, which surprised me much, for the man's body was as black as coal, and I felt convinced that the hair must have been dyed.

He was tattooed from head to foot; and his face, besides being tattooed, was besmeared with red paint, and streaked with white.

Altogether, with his yellow turban-like hair, his Herculean black frame, his glittering eyes and white teeth, he seemed the most terrible monster I ever beheld.

He was very active in the fight, and had already killed four men.
Suddenly the yellow-haired chief was attacked by a man quite as strong and large as himself.
