After a long time, and no end of trouble, I had a man locate a native named Zacatas, who was the head beater of the black men under Jake." "Zacatas said that he and Jake and the others got safely to the Salado river section, but I knew that before, for that was where the fine shipment of animals came from.
Manchester, introduce 'Mazuka." The sophomore thus adjured, stepped nimbly to the corner, and lifting from a hook a long vicious-looking carpet beater, brought it toward Hall. "Handle him with reverence," shouted the spokesman, taking it carefully in his hands and turning it over with a benign smile. "Many a time has 'Mazuka' done good service for this frat!
The cleanliness and brightness which are reached only at the "washer" and "beater" engines in the process of manufacturing the lower grades of paper from cheaper rags, prevail at every step in these higher grade mills. One of the first requisites in making good paper, especially the better grades, is an abundance of pure water, and spring-water, where available, is preferred.
Pushing out into the middle of the stream, and each wielding a beater, our tiny enemies were soon shaken off, and borne back to the shore by a refreshing North-West breeze. We found it necessary to keep a sharp lookout here for the alligators, as they swarmed in dangerous numbers.
The murderer cuts off the tips of the hair of the victim with silver scissors, also the finger nails, and extracts from the nostril a little blood caught in a bamboo tube, and offers these to the thlen. The murderer, who is called u nongshohnoh, literally, "the beater," before he sets out on his unholy mission, drinks a special kind of liquor called, ka 'iad tang-shi-snem.
The beater on these occasions has the double task of finding the game and carrying the guns; and, in an animated communication to me, an experienced sportsman describes "this light and active creature, with his long glossy hair hanging down his shoulders, every muscle quivering with excitement; and his countenance lighting up with intense animation, leaping from rock to rock, as nimble as a deer, tracking the gigantic game like a blood-hound, falling behind as he comes up with it, and as the elephants, baffled and irritated, make the first stand, passing one rifle into your eager hand and holding the other ready whilst right and left each barrel performs its mission, and if fortune does not flag, and the second gun is as successful as the first, three or four huge carcases are piled one on another within a space equal to the area of a dining room."
Last night I had merely to ask him whether he credited the story of an old traveller that he had once used some ribs found there for his tent-poles and a tooth for his hominy beater; whereupon Dilsy, foreseeing what was coming, excused herself on the plea of sudden rheumatism and went to bed, as I wished she should.
"Don't! Don't!" she breathed. "Don't leave me alone with him. Stay here." "And where have you come from now?" asked Frank. "From the house where you took me. You struck me yesterday," she went on inconsequently. Frank laughed. "I am not only married, but I am a wife beater apparently," he said desperately. "Now what can I do?
Her voice was hoarse and low as she muttered: "This will be as good for you as for your dirty linen!" Gervaise, in her turn, snatched another beater, which she held like a club. Her voice also was hoarse and low. "I will beat your skin," she muttered, "as I would my coarse towels."
In a moment his eyes closed. He was awakened by the buzz of the egg beater in a china bowl in the kitchen below him. Must be 'most dinner time. He felt hungry enough. What was his mother cooking? A fragrant hissing from the hot pan hinted of an omelet. Just let him sink his teeth into one. Wouldn't be long before he was ready for another. He roused himself and went into the hall.
