Kennedy said to me, 'Oh, Jacky Jacky shoot 'em! shoot 'em! Then I pulled out my gun and fired, and hit one fellow all over the face with buck shot. He tumbled down, and got up again, and again, and wheeled right round, and two blacks picked him up and carried him away. They went a little way and came back again, throwing spears all round, more than they did before-very large spears.
He tumbled off, I say, for he did tumble when he reached the ground. But he got up in an instant, and ran, searching his pocket as he ran. She made him a pretty courtesy when he offered his treasure, but with a bewildered stare.
He waited with unswerving patience for the result. Piers spoke at last, and there was a queer note of humour in his voice, humour that was tragic. "So I've got to go back again, have I? Back to my valley of dry bones! There's no climbing the heights for me, Crowther, never will be. Somehow or other, I am always tumbled back." "You're wrong," Crowther said, with quiet decision.

Four or five of the airships, partially destroyed, tumbled headlong toward the ground, while even from our great distance there was unmistakable evidence that fearful execution had been done among the crowded structures along the shore of the lake.
Rebecca's first letters to her mother would seem to indicate that she cordially coincided with the latter view of the situation. Dear Mother, I am safely here.
