But the Sea, whereon he had wrought iniquity, and filled the depths thereof with the bones of the innocent, could not endure him and threw him up on the shore as refuse. Then he cried, "Let the Air carry me away!"
Again the guns spewed out their vengeful chorus. At this second burst the German plane seemed to yaw off, then righted itself, leveled off and flew straight at McGee. Red felt a momentary elation that the enemy had at least been made conscious of the attack and was, for the moment, forced to abandon his objective. Two beams of light still held him mercilessly.
Nay, then, give a universal license to every lewd fellow, to rake up the sins of your youth, and let him send to England that England which spewed us out of her mouth, as if we were not the children of her bowels to obtain the proofs.
Then once more there was answering of advertisements, and another couple was spewed forth from the maw of the metropolis "Henery and Bessie Dobbs", as they subscribed themselves.
