It is you who ought to know first!
And then, in the glow of the big searchlight, they saw the dim outlines of a steamer, partly imbedded in the sand. Her stern was toward the undersea craft that had rammed her, and the name was not so obliterated but what the young inventor could read it. "The Pandora!" exclaimed Tom, speaking into his helmet telephone transmitter, the others all hearing him.
Young Tom Lorrigan learned to shoot when he learned to ride, and he was riding pitching horses before he could be certain which was p and which was q in his dad's old spelling book.

We walked silently into the parlour, and I closed the door. "Slife!" cried Courtenay, "she's a vision. What say you, Philip? And I might see her in that guise again, egad, I would forgive Tom his five hundred crowns!" "A buxom vision," agreed my cousin, "but I vow I like 'em so." He had forgotten his cold. "This conversation is all of a piece with the rest of your conduct," said I, hotly.

After getting through the Straits, and when to the northward of the latitude of Cadiz, the ship encountered unusually bad weather.
He was so deeply plunged in thought that he did not notice Tom Fillot's return, and he gave quite a start as the man laid a hand upon his knee. "Look there, sir," he whispered. "Eh? where?"
