As Tarzan struck the water, his first impulse was to swim clear of the ship and possible danger from her propellers. He knew whom to thank for his present predicament, and as he lay in the sea, just supporting himself by a gentle movement of his hands, his chief emotion was one of chagrin that he had been so easily bested by Rokoff.
I am anxious to refer to an admirable movement which has taken strong root in both Australia and New Zealand and that is the cadet corps.
It was driven underground; but there germinated, nevertheless, in the innumerable secret societies, some of the most important principles and doctrines upon which the international labor movement was later to be founded. In France socialist theories had never been wholly friendless from the time of the great Revolution.
The structure of the impersonation tingled with life, and the expression of it in demeanour, movement, facial play, intonation and business was clear and crisp, with that absolute precision and beautiful finish for which the acting of Jefferson has always been distinguished.
Pécuchet, on contemplating the gas-burners, groaned over the spreading torrent of luxury; then, with an imperious movement, he flung aside the newspapers. Bouvard was more indulgent on this point. He liked all authors indiscriminately, having been disposed in his youth to go on the stage.
"U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant-General. On the morning of the 29th the movement commenced.

The position of the troops from left to right was as follows: Sheridan, Warren, Humphreys, Ord, Wright, Parke.
The movement was countermanded and the troops were withdrawn. The poor wounded officers and men I had found, fell into the hands of the enemy during the night, and died. While this was going on at the east, General Worth, with a small division of troops, was advancing towards the plaza from the opposite end of the city.
This commingling might seem to render it difficult to ascertain the true movement of the whole continent, and still more so for distant and successive periods of time.
To say that the artists of the movement insist on design is not to deny that some of them are exceptionally fine colourists. Cézanne is one of the greatest colourists that ever lived; Henri-Matisse is a great colourist. Yet all, or nearly all, use colour as a mode of form. They design in colour, that is in coloured shapes.
Madame Lescande was embroidering on the balcony, by chance, and returned his salute over her tapestry. He remarked, too, that she saluted very gracefully, by a slight inclination of the head, followed by a slight movement of her symmetrical, sloping shoulders.
