But the worst passions of the Virginia's crew were by this time fully aroused; they thought of nothing but the fact that their enemies were pirates, men steeped to the lips in crime of the vilest description, and guilty of unnumbered deeds of blood-curdling atrocity, and many of the Spaniards were ruthlessly slaughtered before George and Bowen could induce them to stay their hands.
It was as if he was trying to remember what he had once felt; and that made the expression rougher than if it had been more spontaneous. I really do not believe that he is, at bottom, at all violent. But he tried to be so in this lecture. He advocated assassination and regicide and other most violent and blood-curdling things.
There, perhaps, glass in hand, and "doxy on his knee," he had roared out many a blood-curdling ditty in the choice society of ruffians only less ruffianly than himself.
Hardly had they got under cover and we were alone again, when a hoarse cry arose in the court it was blood-curdling to us, as every sound these days is full of terror and possibilities. But it turned out to be only the cry of the sentry.
Lorado Taft's colossal "Black Hawk" stands wrapped in his stony blanket upon the banks of the Rock River; while the Indian is to keep company with the Goddess of Liberty in New York Harbor, besides many other statues of him which pre-eminently adorn the public parks and halls of our cities. No longer does the red man live alone in the blood-curdling pages of the sensational story-writer.
"I thought I heard somebody calling. There it goes again. Listen!" All listened, and from out of the forest behind them came a cry, followed by a blood-curdling laugh.

The four boy hunters were so astonished that for the moment they did not move or speak.
Just about dawn, as the unsuspecting travellers were entering the "canyon of the Canadian," and probably waking up from their long night's sleep, a band of Indians, with blood-curdling yells and their terrific war-whoop, rode down upon them.
As he did so, he woke the echoes with the most blood-curdling screech his leathern lungs could compass. As his dusky fingers had closed on the bag, something viselike and relentless had fastened upon those same expert fingers; breaking two of them, and rending the flesh of the lower hand.
But by this time we were so sure of his truculent devotion that Seraphina spoke gently to him, saying how anxious we had been how glad we were to see him safe with us.... He would not be conciliated easily, it seemed, and let out only a blood-curdling dismal groan. Without looking at her, he tried hastily to make a cigarette.
They were roped together with a string, they had mimic alpenstocks and ice-axes, and were climbing a meek and lowly manure-pile with a most blood-curdling amount of care and caution. The "guide" at the head of the line cut imaginary steps, in a laborious and painstaking way, and not a monkey budged till the step above was vacated.
