The fire now reaches to the cabin occupied by Mrs. Kear, who, shrieking wildly, is brought on deck by Miss Herbey. A moment more, and Silas Huntly makes his appearance, his face all blackened with the grimy smoke; he bows to Curtis, as he passes, and then proceeds in the calmest manner to mount the aft-shrouds, and installs himself at the very top of the mizzen.
I said to Curtis, when I had joined him for a while upon the poop. "Everything depends upon the weather," he replied, in his calmest manner; "that, of course, may change at any hour. One thing, however, is certain, the 'Chancellor' preserves her equilibrium for the present." "But do you mean to say," I further asked, "that she can sail with two feet of water over her deck?" "No, Mr.
After an absence of less than an hour the jury returned and handed in a written verdict; and as the fatal word "Guilty" fell from the white lips of the agitated clerk, the calmest face in that whole vast assembly was that of him whom it doomed to the ignominious death of a felon.
The best judgment of a man is taken from his acquaintance, for friends and enemies are both partial; whereas these see him truest because calmest, and are no way so engaged to lie for him. And men that grow strange after acquaintance seldom piece together again, as those that have tasted meat and dislike it, out of a mutual experience disrelishing one another.
She took it from him and untied the strings. A little breathless cry escaped from her lips as she tore open the paper. A small black box was disclosed.

The coroner pointed to the former. "I had the machine gun with which you did the murder until your man there kicked me in the stomach and jerked it away from me. It's in the hangar now. But we don't need the gun, we've got enough evidence without it to convict you." Woods looked us over carefully. He was by far the calmest one of the party.
Down below, Nab runs out a bare black arm into the sea, which even in the calmest weather angrily foams along the windward side. Beyond the sturdy lighthouse that shows itself a dazzling white against the hot blue of the heavens commence the innumerable gullies.
And just look at that river noblest stream that meanders over the thirsty earth! calmest, gentlest artery that refreshes her weary bosom! Railroad goes all over it and all through it wades right along on stilts. Seventeen bridges in three miles and a half forty-nine bridges from Hark-from-the-Tomb to Stone's Landing altogether forty nine bridges, and culverts enough to culvert creation itself!
They could not know that the pallor of Eustace Hignett was due entirely to the slight tremor which, even on the calmest nights, the engines of an ocean liner produce in the flooring of a dining saloon and to that faint, yet well-defined, smell of cooked meats which clings to a room where a great many people have recently been eating a great many meals.
