If he succeed in demoralising the line of elephants, roaring and dashing furiously about, he will then try in the confusion to double through, unless he is too badly wounded to be able to travel fast, in which case he will fight to the end.
It was in vain to fire up chimneys, let torches down the well, charge furiously into suspected rooms and recesses. We changed servants, and it was no better. The new set ran away, and a third set came, and it was no better.
Several of Captain Erskine's men were wounded by this discharge; when, again, and furiously the cannon opened from the fort. It was then that the superiority of the artillery was made manifest. Both right and left of the retreating files the ponderous shot flew heavily past, carrying death and terror to the Indians; while not a man of those who intervened was scathed or touched in its progress.
Mills withdrew, a little dazed. Philippa, whose fingers were clenched together, found her tongue at last. "Henry!" she exclaimed furiously. "What is it, my dear?" "Do you mean to tell me that after your promise," she continued, "after what you have just said, you are starting out to-night for another fishing expedition?" "Whiting, my dear," Sir Henry explained. "One can't possibly miss whiting.
"Your master shall answer for your impertinence!" he cried, drawing his sword and making for Blaise. In an instant my own sword was out, and I was barring his way. "Let us argue the matter, monsieur!" said I. "Peste!" he hissed. "I fight not lackeys!" "You will fight me," I said, "or leave the presence of this lady at once!" Impelled by uncontrollable wrath, he thrust at me furiously.
He glared around the room furiously and wondered who would be base enough to dare to go and kiss that angel. Miss Nermal was proceeding with her part of the game and Belton began to feel that she did not mind it even if she did have to kiss some one else. After all, he thought, his test would not hold good as she was, he felt sure, about to kiss another.
A few moments after Gretry had gone Jadwin heard the ticker on the other side of the room begin to chatter furiously; and at the same time he could fancy that the distant thunder of the Pit grew suddenly more violent, taking on a sharper, shriller note. He looked at the tape. The one-cent rise had been effected. "You will hold out, will you, you brute?" muttered Jadwin.
In the meanwhile I had scrawled on piece of paper, which I had quietly placed near the pistol: "The man in the box is a burglar. Be ready for an attack." "Oh that's the game!" he said aloud, and instantly strode across the room, as Cato sprang up and barked furiously at the box.
In another moment, as they came nearer the hut, voices could be heard speaking inside, and a dog began to bark furiously. "Be quiet, 'Gem' down down who's there?" The boys, waiting a few feet away, replied, "Harry and Donald Meredith; we were just exploring and thought we'd come up and see if anyone was occupying the cabin, but your dog sounds mean."
The bark was pitching furiously to her anchors, and as we drifted rapidly down upon her we could hear the hoarse roar of the gale through her rigging, and see a pale gleam of foam as the sea broke in sheets of spray against her bluff bows. "Shall I try to round to abreast of her?" cried Heck to me, "or shall I go bang down on her?" "Don't take any chances," I shouted.
