And picture the face of the cliff under your feet, the sides of the massive rocks eroded to the shapes of tents and tepees and beehives, pigeon-holed by literally thousands of windows and doors and arched caves and winding recess and portholes a city of the dead, silent as the dead, old almost as time! The wind came soughing up the cañon with the sound of the sea.
"Here goes." He poked his weapon out one of the portholes, and emptied it into the foe. "Give me yours, Hal," he said. Hay obeyed, and the contents of this also was poured at the enemy. "That settles it," said Chester. One of the Canadians drew out a cigarette and lighted it. "Might as well be comfortable," he said.
Genet to be a privateer, and the governor was requested to attend to her, and if he found her augmenting her force and about to depart, to cause her to be stopped. The Jane had augmented her armament by replacing four old gun-carriages with new ones, and opening two new portholes.
I always want to stay up around, too, and repeat that little verse of Kipling's. You know 'When the cabin portholes are dark and green, Because of the seas outside, When the ship goes wop with a wiggle between, And the cook falls into the soup tureen, And the trunks begin to slide Doesn't that just describe it, though that 'wop with a wiggle between'?"
See how, as the darkness falls, a long row of yellow eyes glimmer out from her sides as the light streams through her countless portholes. And there is the Rotterdam packet-boat coming slowly up, very glad to get back into safe waters again, for she has had a wildish time in the North Sea.
Now all are safe aboard the Intrepid. The order is given to cast off. The ketch still clings to the blazing frigate, from whose portholes the flames are shooting out. The gunpowder left on the deck is covered only with canvas. Life is in peril. They find that the stern rope has not been cast off. Up rush Decatur and his officers, and cut the hawser with their swords.
Now the hospital room was in half shadow, but it was never light nor aired as the American nurse felt it should be. The hospital quarters were only a portion of the fortress, a great room, like a barracks which had been hastily turned into a refuge for the wounded. The long stone chamber boasted only four small windows hardly larger than portholes and some distance from the ground.
As an additional precaution they surrounded this house with palisades, consisting of sticks of timber, six or eight inches in diameter, and about ten feet high, planted as closely as possible together. These palisades were also pierced with portholes.
They were a silver color and made absolutely no noise. Each object had large portholes around the edge. As the five UFO's circled the sixth, Jackson recalled, one of them came in and appeared to make contact with the disabled craft. The two objects maintained contact for a few minutes, then began to separate. While this was going on, Jackson was taking photos.
The ensuing dispute led to a bloody battle on the island, in which the English rushed up to the palisaded fort, began firing in at the portholes, and set fire to the village. The next day the Indians sallied out, and hiding behind trees, tried to pick off the English. But when many of their warriors had been killed, the chief, with twenty men, tried to circle the English.
