Twenty-four hours gave him all the time he needed to fall afoul of young Blount." The big superintendent grinned amiably. "The senator helped out on that," he explained. "The senator? How was that?" "It's the first time he has shown any part of his hand to me in the entire campaign. About an hour after I had shot Tom Gryson to pieces a note came down from the Inter-Mountain, asking me to come up.
"It is a battle won," laughed Fitz Hugh, almost worshiping the man whom he had come to slay. "It is a battle won, but not used," answered Waldron. "We haven't a gun yet, nor a flag. Where is the cavalry? Why isn't Stilton here? He must have got afoul of the enemy's horse, and been obliged to beat it off. Can anybody hear anything of Stilton?" "Let him go," roared Old Grumps.
"I go where I please, an' do what I please, an' ask ther right o' no man," retorted Shan Rhue truculently. "All right, go where you please, but don't run afoul of me," said Ted sharply. "I don't want to have anything to do with such cattle as you, and I don't propose to. Keep off my trail if you know when you're well off. This is a friendly tip take it or leave it."
The gentlemen were about concluding to alight where they were, when Mr. Middleton was heard calling out, "Ho, thar, driver, don’t run agin that ar ox-cart; turn a leetle to the right, can’t ye? Now be keerful and not run afoul of the plaguey lye leech. I b’lieve the niggers would move the hut, Josh and all, into the yard, if they could only make a raise!" Mr.
The darkness of the night added to their fears, and panic spread from end to end of the fleet. All discipline vanished; self-preservation was the sole thought of each crew. Some took time to weigh their anchors, but others, in wild haste, cut their cables, and soon the ships were driving blindly before the wind, some running afoul of each other and being completely disabled by the shock.
One would think that they were afraid the old earth itself might be buffeted off its course and fall afoul of neighboring planets. But behold the man whose custom is to sleep upon a porch! At what slightest hint the night being yet young, with scarce three yawns gone round does he shut his book and screen the fire!

Of course, I won't let you come to harm. You haven't been playing your tricks on anybody's negroes, Joe?" "No, upon my word, Judge! You see, I took a load of Egypt down the Nanticoke to Norfolk, and shipped 'em to Orleens.
"Going to start the motor?" asked Bluff. "Certainly not! It's shallow here, and the push-pole will have to move us along." Saying which, Frank possessed himself of the useful article in question, without which no small boat ever cruises in Florida waters. "I hope we don't get mixed up, and run afoul of those chaps," breathed Will. "I've got them located, all right.
"Lord!" said Cleve, a vast discouragement in his tone. "You lay a course as true and fine as a hair, and run afoul a rotting derelict in the night!" Flint laughed. "Oh, I shan't make any trouble.
