The intoxicated woman threw a beer-bottle into the street, and her son ran up from the crowd and locked her safely in her kitchen at the back of the house. 'Jump this minute, or you're a dead girl! shouted the officer, hoarse with emotion. 'God A'mighty, she ain't goin' to jump she's terror-struck!
I carried my compass, which I had been able to secrete during numerous searchings, and my map, a pair of socks, pipe, tobacco, matches in a tin box, an empty beer-bottle, and several things to eat, saved from our parcels, chocolate, tinned meat, biscuits, cheese, and bread.
I was a prisoner sawing my way out with a tiny steel saw. And I sawed out!" His voice rose in a shrill cackle of triumph. "Steward, I sawed out!" Dag Daughtry held forth and up his beer-bottle as he said gravely and sincerely: "Sir, I salute you."
It was an unlucky v'y'ge that, for some of 'em. About a week arter pore Bill's accident Ted Jones started playing catch-ball with another chap and a empty beer-bottle, and about the fifth chuck Ted caught it with his face.
As the bag landed with a thud, a man who had been seated on the truck with his back toward Donald glanced over his shoulder in a leisurely way, and, in that glance, the latter recognized one of the Greeks he had evicted from the Sawdust Pile the same man who had thrown a beer-bottle at him the day he motored through Darrow.

It was no time for fancy boxing. Two men who faced Dick went down like ninepins before a terrific left and right between wind and water; a big Bavarian hero brandishing a beer-bottle collapsed with a sudden and acute attack of knee-in-the-stomach; and a strong and handy chair coming to Dick's hand in the nick of time and used as a flail, and with strict impartiality, soon did the rest.
"Oh, they were quite right to arrest him, but having arrested him, they proceeded to assault him; and when I interfered they assaulted me. And had I not been the person I am, with detectives at my heels to vouch for me, I should have been doing a fortnight hard for interfering with the police in the execution of their duty." "But I heard it was a beer-bottle thrown by one of the rioters!"
"Rather, Chubby," she answered, at once in the intimate tones and putting her head slightly on one side. "I'll light her the candle, mother," he said. "Very well," replied the mother. Miss Western stood up, held out her hand to Mrs. Morel. "Good-night, Mrs. Morel," she said. Paul sat at the boiler, letting the water run from the tap into a stone beer-bottle.
