Along the centre of the side-board, arranged with suspicious neatness, as though seldom disturbed, stood a line of solemn books, Holden's Osteology, Quain's Anatomy, Kirkes' Physiology, and Huxley's Invertebrata, together with a disarticulated human skull.

There wasn't a rag of cloud left in the sky when the dawn came, and all along the beach there were bits of plank scattered which was the disarticulated skeleton, so to speak, of my canoe. However, that gave me something to do, for, taking advantage of two of the trees being together, I rigged up a kind of storm-shelter with these vestiges. And that day the egg hatched.

Try this armchair and have a cigarette." The doctor's eye fell upon the medical works and the disarticulated skull, and his ill-humour departed. "You have your tools close at hand, I see," he remarked. "Yes, dad, all ready." "Those bones bring back old memories to me. I am rusty in my anatomy, but I dare say I could stump you yet.

Such violence occurs at times, when this joint is disarticulated, that the joint capsule is also completely ruptured and the articular portion of the bones is exposed to view. Treatment.

It would only be necessary to reshape the craft a little, and this was the easier because the aero was put together in such a manner with screw-bolts and nuts that it could be articulated or disarticulated as readily as a watch. He had entire confidence in his engineering skill, and in the ability of the three experienced men of the crew to aid him.
