Those who, from their own experience, had some knowledge of the country, related strange and wonderful stories of the dangers attendant upon this expedition that they would have to fight not only the inhabitants of Guinea, a hellish people, whose arrows were poisoned, and who never gave their prisoners better quarter than to devour them, but that they must likewise endure heats that were insupportable, and rains that were intolerable, every drop of which was changed into a serpent: that, if they penetrated farther into the country, they would be assaulted by monsters a thousand times more hideous and destructive than all the beasts mentioned in the Revelations.
"Jim, pull her away!... Girl, don't do that in front of me... I've just gambled away " "Her life, Kells, only that, I swear," cried Cleve. "Kells, listen," began Joan, pleadingly. "You will not let that that CANNIBAL have me?" "No, by God!" replied Kells, thickly. "I was drunk crazy.... Forgive me, girl! You see how did I know what was coming?... Oh, the whole thing is hellish!"
I never heard a presumptuous man, in my life, say that he was afraid that he presumed; but I have heard many an honest humble soul say, that they have been afraid that their faith has been presumption. Why should Satan molest those whose ways he knows will bring them to him? And who can think that he should be quiet, when men take the right course to escape his hellish snares?
Then comes parcels post, and parties that had had to pay him four bits or a dollar for a large package, or two bits for a small one, can have 'em brought in by mail for nothing. Of course most of us eased up on him after we understood the hellish injustice of it.

I fight with myself I must get that hellish thing out of my head! I went to a publisher's to-day I didn't have the heart to go in, but I gave it to the clerk. It will take two or three weeks.
The moisture, which dripped constantly from its groined roof of stone, had formed stalactites of dingy spar, whence the large gouts plashed heavily on the damp pavement; the walls were covered with green slimy mould; the atmosphere was close and fœtid, and so heavy that the huge waxen torches, four of which stood in rusty iron candelabra, on a large slab of granite, burned dim and blue, casting a faint and ghastly light on lineaments so grim and truculent, or so unnaturally excited by the dominion of all hellish passions, that they had little need of anything extraneous to render them most hideous and appalling.
"You have no more need of your chaperon," she laughed, a tear glinting in her eye.... So now I was left utterly alone.... And a hellish winter descended upon the coast ... bitter, blowing, frosty winds that ate into the very bone and made a fellow curse God as he leaned obliquely against them. I learned how little a summer cottage was worth in winter. Mrs.
I pointed at the drawing of the dead white dog. "Somebody saved you from that hellish sacrifice. I tell you it is plain enough to read. The rite is practiced only by the red sorcerers of the Senecas.... Look! It was because your 'neck' was 'white'! Look again! Here is the symbol of the Cat-People the Eries the acolytes of Amochol here! This spread lynx-pad with every separate claw extended!
They carefully measure the ranges for their rifle fire, and then they open a truly hellish fire on the unsuspecting cavalry. This was the reason that we had such heavy losses." "The English are very brave and fight to the last.... One of our companies has lost 130 men out of 240." "We are fighting with the English Guards, Highlanders and Zouaves. The losses on both sides have been enormous.
The very first word gives the Pope the title of 'the most hellish Father. Luther is not surprised that to him and his Curia the words 'free Christian German Council' are sheer poison, death, and hell.
