The settlers, though one of their number had been carried off two months before, still continued their usual occupations. But they were very watchful and always kept a sharp look-out, driving the stock inside the yard at night.
Is that a sail, in the offing, or is it the wing of a sea-fowl, glittering in the sun?" "It may be either," observed the audacious mariner, turning his eye leisurely towards the open ocean, "for we have a wide look-out from this windy bluff. Here are gulls sporting above the waves, that turn their feathers towards the light." "Look more seaward.
Ching thinkee muchee so. Now go sleepee. Velly much tire." He curled himself up, drawing his tail round out of the way, and seemed to go off directly; while I rejoined the officer of the watch, who happened to be Mr Brooke, and we walked right forward to the bows, and saw that the men were keeping a bright look-out. "Well, Herrick," he said, "got your dirk sharp?" "No," I said.
Harry feared that he should be compelled to heave to should the wind increase. He had been at the helm during the middle and morning watch. Willy was on the look-out forward. "Land! land!" he shouted. Daylight had just broke. "There are cliffs ahead, with high lands rising beyond them," he added. Paul Lizard was awake in a moment, looking out with him. "You are right, Mr Dicey."
“The sun has no strength in this latitude, Mr. Jeorling, not even in summer. Jem!” West came up to us. “What do you think of the sky?” “I do not think well of it. We must be ready for anything and everything, captain.” “Has not the look-out given warning of the first drifting ice?” I asked. “Yes,” replied Captain Len Guy, “and if we get near the icebergs the damage will not be to them.
Herr Johannes looked her in the face. 'You are very decided, my dear lady. He seemed to have lost his own decision, but handing Vittoria in, he drew a long cigar from his breastpocket, lit it, and mounted beside the coachman. The chasseur had disappeared. Vittoria entreated that a general look-out should be kept for Giacinta.
Night and day, fine weather or foul, a man is stationed either at the mast-head, or yard-arm, or forward, to keep a look-out ahead for any ship, or land, or shoals, or rocks, which may be near. Many a ship has been lost when a good look-out has not been kept; one ship has run into another, and both have sunk, or the ship has run on rocks not seen till too late.
I kept a sharp look-out by the way, and twice I caught sight of figures which I knew must be Indians, moving in the distance, but whether friends or foes it was impossible to say. Perhaps they belonged to Winnemak's tribe; or, should Maysotta's account be correct, they might be Arrapahas. They did not approach us, however, and we were allowed to proceed unmolested.
This year, 1878, they came out in great force, especially on the lawn at Candie where they availed themselves to a large extent of the croquet-hoops, from which they kept a good look-out either for insects on the wing or on the ground, and they might be as frequently seen dropping to the ground for some unfortunate creeping thing that attracted their attention as rising in the air to give chase to something on the wing.
After the crew had whistled the air quite full, it all condensed and turned into a breeze on the third evening, I think it was, and I mast-headed myself again, and there was another man sent up to the fore-masthead." "I beg your pardon," said Mark, with a feeble smile upon his thin face. "I said another man was sent up to look-out.
