Watch the tumbling streets that have no meanings. No meanings? Yet there's a torment in them that can hoist you up by your placid little heels and swing you round ... round, and send you flying. A witch's flight with the scream of stars whistling through it. Flight that has no ending and no direction ... no face of Rachel at its ending. Burning eyes, devouring eyes ... face like a mirror of stars.
Meeson did hold on pretty tight till, after rowing about fifty yards, the two men halted, and proceeded, not without some risk and trouble for there was a considerable sea running to hoist Mr. Meeson's large form over the gunwale of the boat. Meanwhile, the horrors on board the doomed ship were redoubling, as she slowly settled to her watery grave.
There was no trail; the hills were steep; in places they were forced to unload the sled and hoist their outfit by means of ropes, and as they mounted higher the snow deepened. It lay like loose sand, only lighter; it shoved ahead of the sled in a feathery mass; the dogs wallowed in it and were unable to pull, hence the greater part of the work devolved upon the men.
A third man was in the act of putting down his welding torch he'd carefully turned it off first to try to interfere. Another man gaped. Still another was climbing up by a ladder from the scaffold level below. Joe put Sally's hand on the hoist upright, instinctively freeing himself for action. The lanky man lashed out a terrific roundhouse blow. It landed, but the stocky man bored in.
"What is troubling you? What are you afraid of?" "I can't put a name to my feeling, but I jolly well wish they didn't know. Seamen are a rough lot and they get queer ideas." "You don't imagine for an instant that they'll maroon us and hoist the Jolly Roger, do you?" I asked with a laugh. He did not echo my laugh. "No, but I don't like it.
"And if he does," replied Gascoigne, "he can swear that it was by having been blown up which spoilt his beauty but here comes the Harpy. I have been looking for an English ensign to hoist over the French, but cannot find one; so I hoist a wheft over it, that will do." The Harpy was soon hove to close to the brig, and Jack went on board in the cutter to report what had taken place.
The Danish poet Holst was then in Rome; he had received this year a travelling pension. Hoist had written an elegy on King Frederick VI., which went from mouth to mouth, and awoke an enthusiasm, like that of Becker's contemporaneous Rhine song in Germany.
For some time she stood on as before, apparently not discovering them. With the wind as it had been, she had no chance of escaping, except by running on shore, and Rhymer ordered his men to lay on their oars to await her coming, while the sail was got ready to hoist in a moment, and the gun loaded to send a shot at her should she refuse to strike.
We pulled alongside of the Loriotte, put her skipper on board, and found her making preparations for slipping, and then pulled aboard our own ship. Here Mr. Brown, always "on hand," had got everything ready, so that we had only to hook on the gig and hoist it up, when the order was given to loose the sails.
I boarded her; unshipped my mast, and moored the boat to the ship; fed the poor dog; rummaged in the hold, and contrived to hoist up a small cask of salted beef, and a keg of rum, and some cases of grain and seeds. I managed to slide these on to the reef by means of the mast and oar lashed together.
