He wanted solid ground under him, he didn't care whose or where. And as his boots thumped onto the red-ochre sand, it occurred to him that it had been a very long time since he had had solid ground underfoot. A very long time indeed His insides knotted up again, and this time it was not seasickness but fear, and he was cold all through again in spite of the hot new sun.
"You've et only six, an' a man o' your build an' hunger ought to eat at least twelve. We've got plenty of it, you won't exhaust the supply, never fear. An' take another cup o' coffee; it will warm your insides right down to your toes. I'm mighty glad to see you, an' young William's mighty glad to see you."
"The boilers!" yelled Riggs. "She's blowing off, and there is a steam-pipe gone, or somebody below has opened her whole insides up." The Kut Sang was a white volcano amidships, and I saw Thirkle yelling frantically, and Buckrow and Long Jim appeared in the passage below and yelled to Thirkle, waving their arms, and then dashed up the ladder to the bridge.
The walls are built of colored wall stones known as "insides," and half-timbered brickwork covered with the Portland cement stucco, finished Panan, and painted a cream-color. All the interior woodwork is of selected pitch pine, the hall being boarded throughout.

"I had a pickle and Peter had a cream puff she forgot to eat last night. I was awful 'fraid it might give him the tummy ache because cream puffs are mighty poor breakfast eatin's, 'specially when they are left-overs, but Peter has powerful tough insides. I believe he can eat almost anything." "And how about you? Doesn't a pickle for breakfast make you feel kind of queer?"
Others, horrible though it is to say, drank their own urine, while others dug a hole and placed themselves in the hole they had dug, covering their parched breasts with the recently dug up earth, in the belief that they might relieve their burning insides with a bit of moisture.
"Different from the usual. There's a mob considering paying us a visit." "The new press!" exclaimed Hal. "Just what I was thinking. A rock or a bullet in its pretty little insides would cost money." "We'd better notify Police Headquarters." "I have. They gave me the laugh. Told me it was a pipe-dream. They're sore on us because of our attack on the department for dodging saloon law enforcement."
If I've got hell a-comin' in the next life, I'm not goin' to torment my insides in this one. Damned peppers!" He smiled, expelled his breath forcibly to cool his burning mouth, drank some coffee, and went on eating the steak.
