It has only five holes in it and they aren't large." "Five holes! Jesús! Do you want to drown us?" exclaimed the horrified women.

"Press hard on the plugs so that they won't come out." "María Santísima!
The water's coming in," cried an old woman who felt herself already getting wet. There now arose a small tumult; some screamed, while others thought of jumping into the water. "Press hard on the plugs there!" repeated Albino, pointing toward the place where the girls were. "Where, where? Diós! We don't know how! For pity's sake come here, for we don't know how!" begged the frightened women.
No load an' no road can strain it. The guy had consumption that had it built. A doctor an' a cook traveled with 'm till he passed in his checks here in Ukiah two years ago. But say if you could see it. Every kind of a contrivance a place for everything a regular home on wheels.

Our menagerie of Indian plugs, including Pinto, was loose on the plains; but they were accustomed to battling storms in the open and there were haystacks now to provide food and shelter. Somewhere in the open they were standing, huddled together, facing the onslaught of the storm. The west end wall of the flimsy ell print shop, exposed to the full force of the storm, was swaying in.

But no sooner is the first partition passed than a second presents itself. This is pierced in its turn. In the same way will the third be pierced and others after that, if the insect can manage them, as long as its strength holds out. Too weak for these repeated borings, the males do not go far through my thick plugs.
Quit your kiddin', bo, and keep a watch out." And he added glumly, "Spark plugs is O.K. Maybe it's the timer. I'll have to trace it up. Quit turning your back on that brush! You want us both to git killed? Hand me out that small wrench." "Say, I know what ailed them squaws, Bland. Gods is right. You know what they thought? They took us for their Thunder Bird lighting.

I burrowed under the debris, and found the hole which that plug fitted. It was worked loose, or knocked out of the hole by some internal movement of the broken carboys, perhaps.
It has been suggested that this pit was made to hold the base of the cult-object, whether it was a baetyl or an idol. This, however, is a mere conjecture.
