Slow down, Jack, and everybody keep your faces shut. When we're just past I'll shoot down at the ground by a hind wheel. Make 'em think they've got a blowout get the idea?" "Some idea!" promptly came approval, and the six subsided immediately. The coming car neared swiftly, the driver shaving as close to the speed limit as he dared.
We may have lots of music after we get outside; but I reckon our steamer can outsail anything the Yankees have got on the blockade. Don't drink no more, Mr. Sandman; and when we git to Nassau you can have a reg'lar blowout." "I won't touch another drop before we get out of the bay, Cap'n Sullendine," protested Christy, without betraying the misdemeanor of the cook, as doubtless it was.
"And what will the Capitalists have to spend?" said Devilsdust. "Worse and worse," said Mr Trotman, "you will never get institutions like the Temple re-opened on this system." "Don't you be afraid Jack," said Mick, tossing off his tumbler; "if we only get our rights, won't we have a blowout!"

With the "blowout" there absolutely is no hope left, and not only is the wheat crop gone for good, but the ground sometimes is left in bad condition.
"Here we are!" announced the Captain, after a ride of about four hours in the car, during which time no worse mishap occurred than a blowout, and for this the chauffeur was ready with an already inflated "spare," so little time was lost in replacing the tire. "Does he stay with us at camp, I mean?" asked Cleo in a whisper, pointing to the driver, as the car swung into a rough wood road.

Then came the explosion, that sounded surprisingly like a blowout. The driver stopped and got out to look for trouble, his companion at his heels. They confronted six masked men, three of them displaying six-shooters.
