He dove for the rail, caught it, steadied himself, took a fresh start, swooped to the row of chairs by the deck house, carromed from them, and, in company with a barrel or two of flying brine, came head first into my lap. I expected profanity and temper. I did get a little of the former. "This damned French boat!" he observed, rising with difficulty. "She absolutely WON'T be still."

Davis's speech at Palmetto, of September 26th, I was more positive in my conviction, but was in doubt as to the time and manner. When General Hood first struck our railroad above Marietta, we were not ready, and I was forced to watch his movements further, till he had "carromed" off to the west of Decatur. Then I was perfectly convinced, and had no longer a shadow of doubt.

He fell some thirty feet to the deck, and his head carromed against an iron cleat with a resounding crack. "Here's luck," observed Hardenberg, twelve hours later, when Slick Dick, sitting on the edge of his bunk, looked stolidly and with fishy eyes from face to face. "We wa'n't quite short-handed enough, it seems." "Dotty for fair. Dotty for fair," exclaimed Ally Bazan; "clean off 'is nut.

The last section of the front half, missing the part behind, began swinging back and forth across the street in an attempt to find the lost tail. It carromed into corner number two, smashing one perfectly good hand organ, freeing an excited monkey, and drawing forth a volley of lurid words from the Italian. Jocko ran across the street, and began climbing the tall man who was selling lead pencils.

On the other hand, he told himself, if he retained his freedom, he would be able to help Jack later perhaps. Suddenly he carromed into a man running toward the house. Both rebounded from the contact.

"Now you mention it, I do have a faint recollection of that marvelous accident. You were trying to dodge the ball, weren't you, Sile? You just shut your blinkers and ducked, and Pitkins' inshoot carromed off the bat over into right field and got lost in the grass. If we all hadn't yelled for you to run, you'd be standing there now, wondering what had happened."

Pretty soon several logs, held together by natural cohesion, floated to the bend, hesitated, swung slowly and stopped. Other logs, following, carromed gently against them and also came to rest.

At length Tom Blake, looking at the fresh, clean beauty of the girl on the other seat, forgot himself, and voiced, in the moment of his temporary aberration, that which was in the two adolescent male minds. "Doggone, but you've grown pretty, Kate!" and then blushed. She blushed, too, and looked at Jack Schuyler. At which he blushed and almost carromed the trap against a telegraph pole.

Let's call him." They called repeatedly without getting any answer, then proceeded cautiously. All at once the men in advance stopped so suddenly that those following carromed against them. There was an outburst of exclamation. "Here he is!" "Good Lord! Sure, that's him." "Poor fellow, poor fellow."
