Golly! see de saw move!" cried the delighted colored man. He seized a stick of wood, and in a trice it was sawed through. "Whoop!" yelled Eradicate. "I'm sabed now! Bless yo', Mistah Swift, yo' suttinly am a wondah!" "Now I'll show you how it works," went on Tom. "When you want to stop Boomerang, you just pull this handle.
The town of Skibbereen consists chiefly of one long main street, divided into several, by different names. This street is like a horse-shoe, or rather a boomerang, in shape.
It then commenced to descend, still revolving in the same direction, but the curve followed was reversed, the boomerang travelling from left to right, and, the speed rapidly increasing, it flew far to the rear. At high speed a sharp whistling noise could be heard.
"But this is impossible," Jack said, glancing apprehensively at the growing mob of angry Bruckians outside the stockades. "What could have happened? What have we done?" "I don't know," Tiger said. "But whatever we've done has turned into a boomerang. We knew that the antibody might not work, and the disease might just go right ahead, but we didn't anticipate anything like this."
"One time you told me what you thought of the future of American women, the all-round good fellows of the world do you remember? I wish you had not told me. It's just another thing to irritate. I'm driven mad by trifles I'm starved for a big tragedy; that's the way this craving for a fortune and a good time is playing boomerang.

The kris as a weapon of offence and defence is now almost a thing of the past. It is rapidly going the way of the tomahawk and the boomerang into the collector's cabinet.
He is trustworthy and obliging, and ready to impart all the lore he possesses, an expert boomerang thrower, a dead shot with a nulla-nulla, and an eater of everything that comes in his way except "pigee-pigee."
Occasionally his hand met something solid which he took to be Allen, but this was seldom, and, whenever it happened, it only seemed to bring him back again like a boomerang. Just at the most exciting point, 'Time' was called. The pessimist shook his head gloomily as he sponged Tony's face. 'You must lead if you want to 'it 'im, said the garrulous man. 'You're too slow.
"We're off for the West and Phantom Mountain!" called Tom to his companions. As the airship soared upward, Eradicate Sampson ran forward from where he had been standing near his mule Boomerang. He waved his hands, and shouted something. "Bless my hatband! What does he want?" asked Mr. Damon, watching him curiously. "It sounds as if he were calling to us to come back," spoke Mr. Parker.
Who is he?" "I don't know his name, Massa Tom, but he's a Sauerkrauter, all right. Dat's whut he eats for lunch, an' dat's why I calls him dat. I's cotched him, an' he's locked up in de stable wif mah mule Boomerang. An' ef he tries t' git out Boomerang'll jest natchully kick him into little pieces dat's whut Boomerang will do, by golly!"
