They have a tradition that Hercules also had been in their country, and him above all other heroes they extol in their songs when they advance to battle. For, according to the different din of the battle, they urge furiously, or shrink timorously. Nor does what they utter, so much seem to be singing as the voice and exertion of valour.
Gudrun tries at first to reconcile the combatants, but, failing, arms herself and fights on the side of her brothers. The battle rages furiously with great loss on both sides, until nearly all of the Nibelungs are killed, when Gunnar and Hogni are forced to yield to the power of numbers and are captured and bound. Gunnar is asked, if he will purchase his life with the treasure.
"This is no place for us!" cried Donald. "Don't be afraid to use the spur. It is our only chance." And now as they rode furiously forward, came the sound of firing on their left and some distance ahead. "What does it mean?" called out Adrian as they rode neck and neck through the darkness. "Search me, Ad; but our only chance is in our horses," and Donald again plied the spur.
Presently the two armies met, the battle raged furiously, and Mânasâra, eagerly seeking out his former conqueror, at last encountered his chariot. Wielding the magic club, with one blow he slew the charioteer and caused the king to fall down senseless.
Rodd, will you be so good as to tell me what you mean by flourishing a revolver, presumably loaded, in the faces of a lady and an unarmed man?" "What the devil is that to you," he asked furiously, "and what do you mean by firing at me?" "A great deal," I answered, "seeing that a young woman and my friend are concerned. As for firing at you, had I done so you would not be asking questions now.
You are in my power, Briggs you can't get away, nor can your son." Potts rushed, with an oath, to the door. Half a dozen servants were standing there. As he came furiously toward them they held out their clenched fists. He rushed upon them. They beat him back. He fell, foaming at the lips.
It was impossible to tell whether the earth there had recently been disturbed. Deever seized a spade and began to dig. He was a man of enormous strength, and he worked furiously. The two men who had brought the tools joined in the work, but they did less than half as much as Deever alone. In an incredibly short time the hole was four feet deep.
The Italian military authorities were requisitioning all bread, and issued some to us. The Major ordered it to be kept in reserve. I went round the town and into the Railway Station looking for our guns. But there was no sign of them. I came back and slept for an hour amid some rubble under the archway inside one of the town gates. The town was burning furiously.
He did not believe me, he knew me for a spy, and he was determined to do me in. We were beyond finesse now, and back at the old barbaric game. It was his life or mine. The hammer beat furiously in my head as we closed, and a fierce satisfaction rose in my heart.
"Will you keep quiet?" he whispered fiercely, snatching the sheet from the pad and crumpling it into his palm. Sister and brother faced each other; in his eyes leaped a flame infernal which seemed to hold her paralyzed for a moment; then, with a gesture, she swept him aside, and covering her eyes with her hands, sank into a chair. "What a fool you are!" he said furiously, bending down beside her.
