I write from the edge of the restless waters of Fundy, but any rock-strewn shore will duplicate the marvels. At high tide the surface of the Bay is unbroken by rock or shoal, and stretches glittering in the sunlight from the beach at one's feet to where the New Brunswick shore is just visible, appearing like a low bluish cloud on the horizon.

And I explained how he and Harry, on the chance the basement might contain some clue as to the localisation of the Blind Spot, had dug without result in the bluish clay. Sir Henry picked up the spade, which had never been moved from where Jerome had dropped it.

Occasionally it thundered with a very sharp intense crack accompanied by a jagged bolt of bluish lightning that zigzagged down from the low-hanging cloud. Then came the rain in earnest, a solid, heavy torrent, that bent down the wind and smoothed the surface of the lake. The rain fell almost vertically, as though it were a tremendous curtain of silver strings.

Beneath and behind them in their flight trailed a thin streak of pale bluish fog the wake of the Flying Ring. They were now searing the atmosphere at a height of nearly two miles, and the car was flying on a firm and even keel. There was no sound save the dull roar of the tractor and a slight humming from the vibration of the light steel cables. Bennie no longer felt any disagreeable sensation.

There was a sudden crackling of revolver fire. Spurts of bluish smoke blossomed out from the high grass half a score of them! Bill Robbins staggered on his feet, reeled on a few steps, and then fell. His body had been riddled. Kid Wolf's touch was tender as he took the orphaned youth's hand in his own.

The light grew brighter, assuming the form of a bluish flame burning in a little flambeau. Nicol Brinn watched it fascinatedly. Absolutely no sound was discernible, until a voice began to speak, a musical voice of curiously arresting quality. "You are welcome," said the voice. "You are of the Bombay Lodge, although a citizen of the United States.

Well up from the valley, at the confluence of cañons, are delectable summer meadows. Fireweed flames about them against the gray boulders; streams are open, go smoothly about the glacier slips and make deep bluish pools for trout.

Like the story my mum tells about the time when I was only a few months old, sleeping one afternoon in my cradle at our home in Valpoi. She had heard a soft thud and to her utter horror she saw a thin bluish green snake which had obviously dropped from the roof making loops all over and around the cradle. Snakes are not unusual in the countryside and RUSTIC Farm was no exception.

In men of Mortimer's fibre, dissipation produced coarser symptoms distended veins, and sagging flesh where in Siward it seemed to bruise and harden, driving the colour of blood out of him and leaving the pallor of marble, and the bluish shadows of it staining the hollows. Only the eyes had begun to change radically; something in them had been quenched.

We can recognise the horns and frontlets of the elk, the cimmaron, and the grim bison. Here and there are idol figures, of grotesque and monster forms, carved from wood and the red claystone of the desert. A lamp is flickering with a feeble glare; and on a brazero, near the centre of the room, burns a small bluish flame.
