A man stood on the farther shore with some seventy feet of deep and rapid water between him and the travelers. "That man looks like Stephen Nuckles," said Harry. "It is Stephen Nuckles," Bim answered. "Hello, Steve!" the young soldier called. "Howdy, boy!" said the old minister. "That ar creek is b'ilin' over. I reckon you'll have to swim the hosses."
A sharp descent, and she had reached the spot where the brook ran fast, and where lay "Peggy's b'ilin' spring," named for a great-aunt she had never seen, but whose gold beads she had inherited, and who had consequently seemed to her a person of opulence and ease. "I wish't I'd brought a cup," she said. "There ain't no such water within twenty mile."
A reg'lar cloud of smoke an' flyin' bits of things rose up out of the Mary Auguster; an' when that smoke cleared away, an' the water was all b'ilin' with the splash of various-sized hunks that come rainin' down from the sky, what was left of the Mary Auguster was sprinkled over the sea like a wooden carpet fur water-birds to walk on.
Until now, that bunch have just been runnin' a smooth iron and swingin' their loops wide. But yesterday they drove off every steer. Half of all the longhorns on the Diamond D!" Red's lips tightened grimly. "Excuse us," spoke up one of the cowboys, Lefty Warren, "for takin' yuh fer one o' them cutthroats, but we was b'ilin' mad. It's a good thing fer us yuh wasn't.
They're dangerous, hey, Sol?" The depot master did not answer. Captain Hiram asked another question. "How'd Jonadab take Hettie's leavin'?" he inquired. "Oh," said Barzilla, "I don't think he minded so much. He was too crazy about his new auto to care for anything else. Then, too, he was b'ilin' mad 'cause Loveland swore out a warrant against him for speedin'. "'Nice trick, ain't it? he says.
Sakes alive, warn't he b'ilin'! Much as Jedge Keerfoot could do to keep him from killin' dat Yankee on de street." Chad's long brown fingers fumbled among the green pea-shells, which he heaped up on one side of the pan, and the conversation soon changed to his master's "second in the field."
The others also gave her the best compliments they could, poor fellows! I could have taught them what to say. Here a grinning negro interrupted with, "De tar-kittle's a b'ilin' on de keen jump, Mas'r Mellasys." "Gentlemen of the Jury," said Judge Pyke, "as you had agreed upon your verdict before the trial, it is not requisite that you should retire to consult.

Question is, where have they went to the whole b'ilin' of 'em?" "Down the valley. Otherwise we'd have seen some sign." "I reckon that's so. If Dade works out things the way I have, he knows he's close on to McHale.
'T was a small jam, or what we call a small jam on the Kennebec, only about three hundred thousand pine logs. The first thing I knowed, I was shootin' back an' forth in the b'ilin' foam, hangin' on t' the end of a log like a spider. My hands was clasped round the log, and I never lost control o' my pipe.
