The search was made, and up was lugged the redoubtable ace of hearts from under one of Jack's feet, who had hoped, by covering it, to escape detection.
Splash went the anchor, and they all heaved over the lines, each man taking his own place at the bulwarks. "Are they good to eat?" Harvey panted, as he lugged in another crab-covered cod. "Sure. When they're lousy it's a sign they've all been herdin' together by the thousand, and when they take the bait that way they're hungry. Never mind how the bait sets. They'll bite on the bare hook."
When as mere dots they are discerned, the vastness of their surroundings is realized at their expense and the exclamation of the psalmist is ours: “What is man that thou art mindful of him.” The danger in the use of the figure is that it is so frequently lugged in. The friends that happen to be along are often made to do.
I remember that!" cried Banter; "You lugged out before the ladies; and I commend you for so doing, because you had an opportunity of showing your manhood without running any risk."

We'd worked the bluff all the way through, and Sis has lugged off the idea that Mallory was at the top of the bunch. But there was Mr. Robert, waitin' to talk Dutch to us.

Led by Frank, they managed to hustle their belongings under the second cover, where the driving rain could not reach them.

"You're near it, but not quite right. She is the leading exponent of high-brow tragedy on any stage in the civilized world." "Absolutely! I remember now.

He paused again and stood rubbing his head ruefully. "H'm," said Harley; "was there anything particularly remarkable about this man in the Lyons' cafe?"
It seemed rather forlorn to think of facing the day without some older person, but Nettie bravely went to work to do her best. First she went down into the cellar for coal which she lugged up to put on the two fires. Edna came down to find her busily taking up the ashes. "Oh, how do you know what to do to make the fires burn?" she asked.
A tired tenderfoot leaped out with a sigh of relief and hunted for his baggage, which he found to be generously perforated.
