"That the gods have sent him a messenger to them; that the fire he brings " he was handing a musket to the chief "will smite the Indians' enemy from the earth; that the bullet is magic to outrace the fleetest runner" this as M. Radisson fired a shot into mid-air that sent the Indians into ecstasies of childish wonder "that the bottle in his hands contains death, and if the Indians bring their hunt to the white-man, the white-man will never take the cork out except to let death fly at the Indians' enemy" he lifted a little phial of poison as he spoke "that the Indian need never feel cold nor thirst, now that the white-man has brought fire-water!"
"Yes," the Princess agreed, "he is foolish or he would never suppose his horse could outrace yours." "Urrh! Urrh!" the dragon purred. "You're right! He seems to think my horse is an ordinary horse. Why, I got my horse from the Old Woman of the Mountain and the only other horse in the world that can outstrip him is another horse that the Old Woman still has.
Alan's was at once the simplest and most difficult; he would have nothing to do until the others had finished their parts, but then he would have to board the armored car and outrace any pursuers. He was to drive the car far outside city limits, where he would be met and relieved of the cash by Byng and Hollis; then he was to lose the truck somewhere and return to the city by public transit.
Like a huntsman who, for the sake of a better run, should outrace his quarry, or who, seeing that the dogs were close upon the hare, should, in order to prolong the chase, start a fresh hare, kept till then snug at his saddle-bow, so Hume, in the excitement of metaphysical pursuit, instead of stopping to gather up whatever verified affirmations came in his way, would prefer to follow any new negation that he espied, or, if momentarily accepting any affirmation as established, would proceed forthwith to affirm its direct opposite with the view of neutralising both.
The tuna, panic-stricken by the strange line that hissed behind him and which he could neither outrace nor shake off, tried to charge the loops of twine that the reel had not yet been able to bring in. The sea fairly seemed to boil as the fin of the tuna cut through the water at the surface. "Look out now, Colin," the boy's father called. "He'll see the boat in a minute!" He did.
He stood in front of the control board and ran his hands over the buttons and switches. "This board makes the manual we worked on at the Academy look like it's ready for Galaxy Hall!" "Yeeeooooooww!" Three decks below, Astro had discovered the rocket motors. Four of the most powerful ever installed on a spaceship, enabling the Polaris to outrace any ship in space.
Then the mast collapsed and a new one was put in. After that the ship was in such good shape that it could outrace most of those just off the ways." I had an uneasy feeling about where this parable was leading us but my mind shied away from the essential point and Erics went relentlessly on.
My horse, I knew, could outrace any cayuse of the Sioux band. "Miriam," I whispered back, lifting the canvas, "they will take you away to-morrow my horse is here! Come! We must risk all!" And I shoved myself bodily in under the tent wall. She was not a hand's length away, sitting with her face to the entrance of Diable's lodge, her figure rigid and tense with fear.
"Goodbye, son," said the elder Arcot. "Goodbye, men. I'll be expecting you any time within two years. We can have no warning, I suppose; your ship will outrace the radio beam. Goodbye." Dr. Arcot joined his old friend and they went outside. The heavy lux metal door slid into place behind them, and the thick plastic cushions sealed the entrance to the airlock.
It is not possible to describe with any degree of accuracy the very clever way in which the boats tried to circumvent each other; how the Osprey dodged here and there, striving to outrace the other, and how the Laulie gallantly defeated every attempt so made. At last Yaspard, seeing that nothing but a very bold effort had any chance of success, determined to try a delicate manoeuvre.
