As he laid over and made for it, one of the FW's knifed in and splattered him with lead. He felt the bullets pinging against his armor plate and ripping through his wings. Ducking, he went down under the cloud, just what the Jerry wanted. Sim had cut out one of the FW's but two others had joined the hunt, bent on finishing the Thunderbolt they had cut off.
In 1857 a tiger at Bromwich broke into the cage of a lion and a fearful scene ensued: "the lion's mane saved his neck and head from being much injured, but the tiger at last succeeded in ripping up his belly, and in a few minutes he was dead." 'The Times, Nov. 10, 1857. Dr. Murie, on Otaria, 'Proc. Zoolog. Soc. 1869, p. 109. Mr.
"I suppose we'd better cut into the next room now," suggested Tom, when this function was over. "There'll be some fireworks by and by; but any one who likes a hop meanwhile can have one. Jill knows a ripping piece to play."
At ten years old the little cur fought everybody, and amused himself with cutting the hens' necks off and ripping up the pigs; in fact, you might say he wallowed in blood. 'He'll be a famous soldier, said Cambremer, 'he's got the taste of blood. Now, you see," said the fisherman, "I can look back and remember all that and Cambremer, too," he added, after a pause.
Suddenly a strange rumble reached their ears, a rumble that made both Wumble and Slim Jim turn pale and look at each other with faces full of fear. The rumble rose and fell, shaking the earth beneath them, and mingling with a grinding and crashing and ripping that seemed to strike each one to the very heart. "What is it? The end of the world?" gasped Sam. "A landslide," answered Wumble.
When the tumult of his senses subsided he heard Blensop saying, "I'll write it out for you," and saw him pick up a pad and pencil and jot down a memorandum. "There you are," he added, ripping off the sheet and passing it across the table. "Now you can't go wrong." "I precious seldom do," his caller commented drily.
He was about to speak, to demand an explanation, when there was a second ripping sound. "Look out!" cried Thacher sharply. Andy saw what was happening. The canvas strip that had torn free lengthwise was now splitting its breadth. In another moment a mere filament of cloth would hold Andy suspended. He must act, and act quickly, or take a plunge sixty feet down.
He was doing Patay now; and was bending his big frame forward and laying out the positions and movements with a rake here and a rake there of his formidable sword on the floor, and the peasants were stooped over with their hands on their spread knees observing with excited eyes and ripping out ejaculations of wonder and admiration all along: "Yes, here we were, waiting waiting for the word; our horses fidgeting and snorting and dancing to get away, we lying back on the bridles till our bodies fairly slanted to the rear; the word rang out at last 'Go! and we went!
She arranged it loosely about her face, and, ripping an artificial flower from her "party" hat, placed it over her ear, then swayed grandly to and fro while the golden dragons writhed and curved as if in joyous admiration. A dozen times she slipped out of the garment and, gathering it to her face, kissed it; a dozen times she donned it, strutting about her little room like a peacock.
The Terror himself could not have been more tender with it. "That's a ripping idea!" said Erebus in a tone of the warmest approval. The peace was thus concluded. Having thus abated their hostility, Sir James spared no pains to win their good will. He gave the Terror a rook-rifle and Erebus boxes of chocolate.
