It became necessary after the Fair to shut off the water as was anticipated, to remove a few pipes near the Ship Channel which had broke in two by the unequal settling of the pipes in the quicksand bed through which they were laid. These repairs were promptly made, and the water let on the city again; since which time the supply has been regular and uninterrupted.
And he felt the rage known to all sleepy men on being awakened. The grizzly is a particularly crafty, intelligent animal on the intellectual plane of the dog and elephant and he had chosen his winter lair with special purpose in mind of a long and uninterrupted sleep.
Our intimacy since Binny Wallace's death had been uninterrupted; but now I moved in a sphere apart, not to be profaned by the step of an outsider. I no longer joined the boys on the playground at recess. I stayed at my desk reading some lugubrious volume usually The Mysteries of Udolpho, by the amiable Mrs. Radcliffe.
An almost uninterrupted succession of wet weather has, of late, precluded me from the regular enjoyment of a morning walk. But, with the new year, we had a heavy fall of snow, which has since been succeeded by a severe frost.

Thus the progress of tribal struggle was uninterrupted by the Gentile raids. Four years later, a fleet of sixty Norse fighting galleys sailed up the Boyne.
Along the Thames the trees are planted on the successive Embankments, in a beautiful leafy parkway following its course, broken here and there by public edifices, like the Parliament buildings, but forming a screen mostly uninterrupted, behind which a parade of grandiose hotels does not altogether hide itself from the river.
The campaign of 1814, that uninterrupted masterpiece of skill and heroism, as well on the part of the leader as of his followers, bore, nevertheless, the ineffaceable stamp of the false calculations and false position of the Emperor.
But it must not be supposed that this prosperity was uninterrupted throughout Mr. Crittenden's business life. There were dark storms which threatened disastrous wreck, and nothing but stead-fastness of purpose and force of character brought him through.
