We waxed our bowstrings and put the finishing touches on our arrow-heads with a file. Slowly the bears mounted the foothills, heading for a large patch of snow, where Frost thought they would lie down to cool before entering the woods. It seems that their winter coat makes them very susceptible to heat, and though the sun had come out pleasantly for us, it was too hot for them.
The field stretched from the bow of the ship only, out to that last balloon we dropped. We were letting down at an angle to that line. It was like a kite and a string and the kite's tail. The string was the Dabney field, and the directions we were heading was the kite's tail." Cochrane nodded. It occurred to him that Jones was very much unlike Dabney.
If I tried to get away by myself, one of the children, or a young woman would follow me, or rather, come in the same direction, and pretend not to be following me; but all the time noting where I went, and heading me off carefully if I went too far from the caravan. Before the end of the first day I was wondering how it would all finish, and whether they meant to make a gipsy of me.
"What he needs is a good slug of hooch." "I agree," said Mike evenly. "Too bad there isn't any aboard. But do what you think is best; I'm going to be too busy to keep an eye on you. I won't be able to watch you at all, so you'll be on your own." "Yessir," said the man who had spoken. He hid his grin and took out at a run, heading for wherever it was he kept his bottle hidden.
"Perhaps you will tell me why." "Because we must make a good trek to the northward before night, Inkoosi." "Indeed! I thought that I was heading south-east." "Bangu does not live in the south or the east," he replied slowly. "Oh, I had almost forgotten about Bangu," I said, with a rather feeble attempt at evasion. "Is it so?" he answered in his haughty voice.
This gave Hendrik the advantage, who, heading his quagga diagonally, was soon upon the heels of the herd. It was Hendrik's intention to single out one of the bulls, and run him down leaving the others to gallop off wherever they wished. His intention was carried out; for shortly after, the fattest of the bulls shot to one side, as if to escape in that way, while the rest ran on.
Not only was Arthur Laing being whirled there by the Nice express, and Miss Bussey's party proceeding thither by the eleven o'clock train from Victoria Mary laughed as she thought it might have been her honeymoon she was starting on but the Bellairs and their friends were heading for the same point.
"It's black black as a tinker's pot in there. You wouldn't know what you were heading into!" "Aw, gammon!
There was an enlisted man of the engineer department at the engine, while a seaman acted as helmsman. "Straight down the bay, helmsman," Dave directed, as the launch headed out. "Aye, aye, sir," replied the man, touching his cap. After that the young people -Mrs. Meade was included under that heading -gave themselves over to enjoyment.
The moment of unmasking was to follow the ninth dance. The eighth was just about to begin. Marjorie caught sight of a huge lumbering figure in princely garments heading in her direction, and turning fled toward the dressing-room. She was quite sure of the prince's identity, which was that of a youth whom she particularly disliked.
