 　　But, as it always happens, just when a decision had been made to chase the monster, the monster put in no further appearances.

　　事情往往就是这样，等人们决定要追赶这怪物的时候。怪物再也不出现了。
　　For two months nobody heard a word about it. Not a single ship encountered it.

　　Apparently1 the unicorn2 had gotten wise to these plots being woven around it.

　　People were constantly babbling3 about the creature, even via the Atlantic Cable!
　　因为大家说得大多了，甚至于用大西洋的海底电线来说！
　　Accordingly, the wags claimed that this slippery rascal4 had waylaid5 some passing telegram and was making the most of it.
　　所以，喜欢说笑话的人说，这个精灵的东西一定在中途偷听了电报，现在它启己有了防备。
　　So the frigate6 was equipped for a far-off voyage and armed with fearsome fishing gear, but nobody knew where to steer7 it.
　　不再随便出来。因此，这艘用作远征而且装有强大打鱼机的二级战舰,现在不知道向哪里开才好。
