It was our affair, and you, who are a stranger, have done ill." "I did you wrong, Mandarin," said Weng, resuming his journey; "you took me for one of them. I pass you the parting of the woman Che, burrowers in the cow-heap called Li-yong." Things in their appointed places, noble companion." "Greetings, wayfarer," said Weng, stopping. "The path narrows somewhat inconveniently hereabout.
These creatures are among the finest burrowers in the world, and can bury themselves in the earth in a few seconds time; but, being badly toothed, some of them altogether without teeth, they can only feed upon very soft substances.
Sea-sand and pebbles, washed clean, form the best bottom for the salt-water aquarium. It must be recollected that many of the marine tenants are burrowers, and require a bottom adapted to their habits. Some rock-work is considered essential to afford a grateful shelter and concealment to such creatures as are timid by nature, and require a spot in which to hide: this is true of many fishes.
He switched on his diving torch, and color returned within its beam. A swirl of weed, pink in the light, became darkly emerald beyond as if it possessed the chameleon ability of the burrowers. He was distracted by that phenomenon, and so he transgressed the diver's rule of never becoming so absorbed in surroundings as to forget caution. Just when did Ross become aware of that shadow below?
They are all natural burrowers, although they often forego the trouble of excavating a home when one can be found already made, and which can be easily modified or adapted to their purposes. The common rabbit of New England often makes its home or "form," beneath a pile of brush or logs, or in crevices in rocks. Here it brings forth its young, of which there are often three or four litters a year.
Or a war in which they used forces beyond our comprehension to alter the whole face of this planet, which did happen the alteration, I mean. Several things could have removed intelligent life. Then such species as the burrowers could have developed or evolved from smaller, more primitive types." "Those ape-things we found on the desert planet."
It contained workmen's tools picks, shovels, and the like. On the near side of the roadway a man was erecting one of those curious wigwam arrangements which screen the operations of electricians and other subterranean burrowers from the public gaze. A dirty-faced small boy in corduroys was tending a brazier of live coals, upon which some breakfast cans were steaming.
About the time the burrowers and all that feed upon them are addressing themselves to sleep, great flocks pour down the trails with that peculiar melting motion of moving quail, twittering, shoving, and shouldering.
Thiepval again Director of tactics of an army corps Graduates of Staff Colleges Army jargon An army director's office "Hope you will see a good show" "This road is shelled; closed to vehicles" A perfect summer afternoon The view across No Man's Land Nests of burrowers more cunning than any rodents men Tranquil preliminaries to an attack The patent curtain of fire Registering by practice shots Running as men will run only from death The tall officer who collapsed "The shower of death."
"Though we have seen none of the huge creatures here," said Cortlandt, "that were so plentiful on Jupiter, these burrowers belong to a distinctly higher scale than those we found there, from which I take it we may infer that the evolution of the animal kingdom has advanced further on this planet than on Jupiter, which is just what we have a right to expect; for Saturn, in addition to being the smaller and therefore more matured of the two, has doubtless had a longer individual existence, being the farther from the sun."
