He went to open the door; a shell had burst it in and he could see the work-bench capsized in a dark corner. Then he remembered that the Germans were bombarding the left bank, and he felt a sudden impulse to roam the streets under the rain of iron. A voice hailed him, issuing from underground: "Is it you, my lad? Come in quick; you've given me a fine fright.
Somebody Strange, perhaps took it with him." "Why do you think he meant Strange?" "Because his mind was obviously dwelling on the night Strange's canoe capsized. He said it was an accident he could not stop her swinging across the stream as if he were answering somebody who accused him. The disturbing thing was that although delirious he looked horribly afraid."
"They cannot have come so far by this time," said the mate. "I think that I can unravel the mystery. This whale was attacked by the boats of a ship, some of which were probably destroyed by the monster. It was then towed alongside, when she was either capsized in a storm, or, receiving damage from some other cause, she went down, and the articles we now see floated up out of her.
My only difficulty at this time was the lack of a light to illuminate the boat compass at night, the can containing the supply of lamp oil seeming to have gone adrift when the boat was capsized.
Yet I fancied that we must still be close to our consort. In vain I looked round. I called out to McAllister and told him my fears. Certain it was that the Espoir was nowhere to be seen. I felt very sad. I could not help dreading that the Espoir had been struck as we were, and being less prepared, had capsized and gone over.
The car swung sharply about like a tugged horse; sprang to the other side of the road, hung poised on a wheel, as near as possible capsized. A less violent jerk and it would have gone clean over the woodstack that lay in the road on the top of its bearer. By the time Peter got there, Urquhart had lifted the burden from the old bent figure that lay face downwards.
"Why, d'ye see, your honour, old Sir Wycherly, who is commander-in-chief, along shore here, has capsized in consequence of carrying sail too hard, in company with younger craft; and they're now warping him into dock to be overhauled." "Is this all! that was a result to be expected, in such a debauch. You need not have put on so ominous a face, for this, Galleygo."
No frog-eater had ever been there. Near the shore we felled a tree which reached far out in the lake. Upon the trunk and branches, the frogs soon collected in large numbers, and gamboled and splashed about the half submerged top, like a parcel of schoolboys, making nearly as much noise. After dark, as I was frying the fish, a panful of the largest trout was accidently capsized in the fire.
Besides the innumerable anxieties in reference to such important matters as boiling over and over-boiling, being done to a turn, or over-done, or singed or burned, or capsized, he has the diurnal misery of being the first human being in his little circle of life, to turn out of a morning, and must therefore experience the discomfort the peculiar discomfort of finding things as they were left the night before.
As for the poor fellows in the rigging, the spirit of the storm had already made them his: twenty of our men were swept away by that tornado. "Then there was hewing and cleaving on deck, the clatter of many axes and hatchets: for we were in imminent danger of being capsized, keel uppermost, and our only chance was to cut away the masts.
