But some instinct warned him that unless he wanted to break with Crawford completely he must restrain his impulse to rip loose. "All right," he mumbled. "If you told him to get 'em, 'nough said." Dave stood on the fence of one of the shipping pens at the Albuquerque stockyards and used a prod-pole to guide the bawling cattle below.
He was bawling at the top of his compass; but in the gale, he seemed to be whispering; and I only heard him from his being right to windward of me. But his hint was unnecessary; I dug my nails into the jack-stays, and swore that nothing but death should part me and them until I was able to turn round and look to windward.
They shook her into consciousness, led her to the court-room. She was conscious of a stifling heat, of a curious crowd staring at her with eyes which seemed to bore red hot holes into her flesh. As she stood before the judge, with head limp upon her bosom, she heard in her ear a rough voice bawling, "You're discharged. The judge says don't come here again." And she was pushed through an iron gate.
The ferryman told us that at ten o'clock, or thereabouts, he was going to bed having closed the ferry, when a voice on the other shore began bawling 'Over! He slipped on his boots again, rowed across, and took over a man who was certainly Captain Coffin." "He was alone?" I asked.

"You confounded idiots!" and in a rage he left the building and started for Perdue's store. The sound of the last verse followed him into the darkness, and then silence. He stopped and listened.
They had striven desperately to whack the animals to the hedge on either side, and were bawling loud warnings to those thrice accursed gunmen whom they imagined chased by police. Their efforts, their yells, were useless. Sixty miles an hour demands at least sixty yards for safety. When Voles put hand and foot to the brakes he had hardly a clear space of ten.
Suddenly, tearing a path through the frenzied mob, I saw a mob of cursing, sweating, green-coated soldiers and rangers, struggling toward us saw one of Butler's rangers seize Sergeant Parker by the collar of his hunting shirt, bawling out: "Hurrah!

A few were bawling out unheeded advice as to what should be done; in fact, a heated altercation had arisen between the two loudest a chimney-sweep and a medical man whose theories disagreed; but it was plain to everybody that it would be a risky thing to venture under the bridge into that swirling stream.
The men laid down under the shelter of a fine grove, and friend divided with friend the little supplies of raw bacon and bread picked up on the day's march.
