And over trailless desert." "All of that. But we're not going across country. We're going by water." "By water? Ban, you are out of your mind. Where is there any waterway?" "Dry Bed Arroyo. It's running bank-full. My boat is waiting there." "But it will be dangerous. Terribly dangerous. Io, you mustn't." "I'll go," said the girl quietly, "if Ban says so." "There's no other way out.

He was bank-full and sweeping on, taking to himself on this side and on that the tributes of his children, from which the waters poured so fast that they came in almost clear, and the mingled waters in the river were scarcely clouded in their flow.

But soon he was out again, and apparently more perplexed than ever. Presently he ventured to remark, with deference 'Pretty good stage of the river now, ain't it, sir? 'Well, I should say so! Bank-full IS a pretty liberal stage. 'Seems to be a good deal of current here. 'Good deal don't describe it! It's worse than a mill-race.

The eastern side of the Basin being higher ground, the settlers in the South Central District and east of Republic, with the two towns built by Jefferson Worth, were in no immediate danger, but the old Dry River channel became a roaring torrent, bank-full; and it was only a question of time, if the river were not controlled, when every foot of the new country with its wealth of improvements and its vast possibilities would be buried deep beneath the surface of an inland sea.

The stream was bank-full, gurgling and eddying out among the bushes, and rushing over the shoal where the fish used to lie, in a brown torrent ten feet deep.

Ba'tiste broke in excitedly. "By to-morrow morning, ever' snowshed, he will be bank-full of snow. The track, he will be four inches in ice. Six week this country, he can not stand it! Tell him so on the telegraph! Tell him the cattle, he will starve! Peuff! No longer do I think of our machinery! Eef it is los' we are los'. But let eet go. Say to heem nothing of that.

Along the bank of the river he wandered, through the rain above and the wet grass below, to the high road, stood for a moment on the bridge gazing at the muddy Glamour, which came down bank-full, Annie saw him from Tibbie's window as he stood, and then turned and followed its course below the bridge through a wild, and now dismal country, to where the waters met.

One long sentence, like the roll of an Atlantic wave, or a long-drawn shout of triumph, masses together the stages of the march; the breaking up of the encampment; the solemn advance of the ark, watched by the motionless crowd; its approach to the foaming stream, running bank-full, as is its wont in the early harvest months; the decisive moment when the naked feet of the priests were dipped in the water.
