And the real reason why red Tim and blond Knowlton slept by day was that they thus made up the slumber lost at night. Not that either of them patrolled the camp in sentry go. So far as the Peruvians knew, they slept as soundly as McKay.
The colored people of this region far outnumber the white people, and years ago had absolute control of everything. The whites of course did not tamely submit, but armed themselves to overthrow us. We armed ourselves, and every night patrolled this road all night long looking for the whites to come and attack us. My oldest brother is a very cowardly and sycophantic man.
His black sombrero lay flat. The wind had blown a high hat down the street until it had stopped near the sombrero. Those who peeped out from behind doors or from windows espied these sinister objects. Pan had patrolled the street. He had made a house-to-house canvass, searching for Jim Blake. He had entered every place except the Yellow Mine. That he reserved for the last.
The little group that rides in front of the guns discusses minutely many questions of absorbing interest in the course of a day's march.

Fourth. The capture of Vicksburg would result. Fifth.
Still, during the two years and more that she dwelt with the Umpondwana, Suzanne scarcely left this plain, not because she did not desire to do so, but because she did not dare, for word was brought that the foot, and even the slopes, of the mountain were patrolled by men in the employ of Swart Piet.
Navigation was next to impossible; as for crossing you were a madman to think of such a thing. At the sidewalks' edge policemen patrolled up and down in the street with their incessant cry of "Back there!" pausing now and then to dislodge small boys from trees, whither they had climbed at enormous peril to themselves and innocent by-standers.

As they moved steadily toward the middle of the bay they marked more and more clearly the passage of the launch as it patrolled the farther shore. Leary pulled a strong stroke and Archie was obliged to check him from time to time to avoid collision with the Governor's craft.
