"What else?" said I. "This man," he answered calmly, with a little gesture aimed at D'ri. My friend rose, struck his palm with the pipe-bowl, and put up his knife. "Ef ye're goin' t' tek me," said he, "better begin right off, er ye won't hev time 'fore breakfust." Then he clapped the moose-horn to his lips and blew a mighty blast. It made the two men jump and set the near thicket reeling.
The boy used it with good effect, while Tim shoved his blunt finger into the pipe-bowl, shut one eye and squinted into it, rattled it on his hand, puffed at it again, turned his pockets wrong side out, then put them to rights, and repeated the operation, just as we open the door a half-dozen times to make sure our friend isn't behind it, then gave one of his great sighs and looked toward Howard.
The Professor would invite me to his room after the 'sleep well' of the ladies, and I sat with him much like his pipe-bowl, which burned bright a moment at one sturdy puff, but generally gave out smoke in fantastical wreaths.

He knocked out his pipe on the grate. Then: "Have you any idea of the nature of the fluid in the phial?" "Not the slightest. And I have none to spare for analytical purposes." Nayland Smith began stuffing mixture into the hot pipe-bowl, and dropping an almost equal quantity on the floor. "I cannot rest, Petrie," he said. "I am itching to get to work.

D'Egville made the usual signal for withdrawing. As soon as they had departed, followed a moment or two afterwards by Tecumseh and Gerald Grantham, Messieurs Split-log, Round-head, and Walk-in-the-Water, deliberately taking their pipe-bowl tomahawks from their belts, proceeded to fill them with kinni-kinnick, a mixture of Virginia tobacco, and odoriferous herbs, than which no perfume can be more fragrant.
Men are the pipe makers, and often show considerable skill in the decoration of their product. The common pipe-bowl is of clay, which has been carefully shaped with the fingers and a short bamboo spatula. The bowls are baked in a slow fire, and the mouthpieces are added. In recent years, Ilocano jewelers have introduced silver pipes, made from coins.
