Quick splashes of light where the bombs exploded, great columns of gray smoke mushrooming up to the sky, then feeble licks of flame growing in intensity of brightness where the incendiary bombs, taking hold of stores and hutments, advertised the success of the raid. The squadron swung for home. Tam with one eye for his leader and one for the possible dangers on his flank, was a mere automaton.
Bert was humming: "We're living now in a funny time, When money is made to burn." Mary was too angry with her husband, because of the impending strike and his incendiary utterances, to hold conversation with Saxon, and the latter, bepuzzled, listened to the conflicting opinions of the men. "Where are we at?" she asked them, with a merriness that concealed her anxiety at heart.
On the next day a second fire broke out; and on February 24th the agency house took fire both from the inside and the outside in such a manner that it was evident that an incendiary had been at work. But such events were of unusual occurrence. A letter written at Fort Snelling on February 11, 1842, pictures the usual winter life.
Lucrine oysters, formerly a wedding dish, are now everyday fare; for which, accordingly, the bankrupt glutton silently prepares the incendiary torch. While formerly the father disposed of his boy, now the disposal is transferred to the latter: he disposes, forsooth, of his father by poison. The Comitium had become an exchange, the criminal trial a mine of gold for the jurymen.
"No, I went to look at the fire, and they arrested me there, and tried me as an incendiary." "Where there's law there's injustice," put in the little man. "And have you been here long?"

Again on September 8, 1916, three British machines bombed El Mazaar and the Turkish camp near by. Early in the morning of September 13, 1916, a group of Austrian seaplanes attacked Venice once more. Incendiary and explosive bombs struck the church of San Giovanni Paola, the Home for the Aged, and a number of other buildings, inflicting some damage, although no casualties were reported.
There would be Gabriel the good priest, as they say! the apostle of the primitive gospel, the representative of the democracy of the church, of the poor country curate as opposed to the rich bishop, the tiller of the vine as opposed to him who sits in the shade of it; the propagator of all the ideas of fraternity, emancipation, progress to use their own jargon and that, not in the name of revolutionary and incendiary politics, but in the name of a religion of charity, love, and peace to speak as they speak.
"Married!" said Jackeymo, more dispassionately "that's very bad, certainly; but more than a hundred and fifty thousand lire, and perhaps a pretty young lady, and " "Pretty young lady!" growled Riccabocca, jumping into bed and drawing the clothes fiercely over him. "Put out the candle, and get along with you, do, you villanous old incendiary!"
He had seen houses flaring, set afire by incendiary bombs, and once at a corner he had been knocked off his bicycle by the pouff of a bursting shell.... Not only were these things in the same world with us, they were sitting at our table.
In most respects they showed equal proficiency with the children of Parham; and in reading the Testament, their accuracy was even greater. In looking over the writing, several "incendiary" copies caught our eyes. One was, "Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal." Another, "If I neglect the cause of my servant, what shall I do when I appear before my Master!"
