The canvas itself was very coarse, and there was lots to spare, the slack being turned over and over, and tied with heavy twine extra. Then he took them all out, and slitting them open, just let the stuff rip naked. Lord! but it was a dandy sight, a dazzle of double eagles cascading like a river, and so swift that you couldn't pretend to count them!
Others had been sunk literally driven under by masses of humanity cascading into them from slanting decks. Others, again, had never been launched at all. The utmost efforts of the destroyer, fortuitously so near at hand, had served to rescue but thirty-one passengers and one hundred and eighty of the crew.
It overflowed into violent rapids, with swift, white waters noisily cascading. "There, incidentally," Stern remarked, with the practical perception of the engineer, "there's power enough, when properly harnessed, to light a city and to turn machinery ad libitum. I don't see how we could better this site, do you?" "Not if you think there are good chances for cave-dwellings," she made answer.
Washed and rolled off the high poop by a burst of sea, we were left stranded in the waist of the ship, whence we fought our way for'ard to the steep-pitched forecastle- head. Others joined us. We lashed ourselves fast and counted noses. We were eighteen. The rest had perished. Johannes Maartens touched me and pointed upward through cascading salt- water from the back-fling of the cliff.
Along the base of this majestic range sweeps the Pacific Glacier, fed by innumerable cascading tributaries, and discharging into the head of its fiord by two mouths only partly separated by the brow of an island rock about one thousand feet high, each nearly a mile wide.

But when we came to the next cascading bit, though the mist had now lifted, we lightened the canoe by two men's avoir-dupois, that it might dance, and not blunder heavily, might seek the safe shallows, away from the dangerous bursts of mid-current, and choose passages where Cancut, with the setting-pole, could let it gently down.
Helen assumed the mathematical centre of the squab, and began to arrange her skirts in cascading folds; she had posed her parasol in a corner of it, as though the squab had been a railway carriage, which, indeed, it did somewhat resemble. "By the way, lass, what's that as swishes?" James demanded. "What's what?" "What's that as swishes?"

"Good-morning, cousin Eloise," said the child, waiting for the message or order which she supposed to be forthcoming. "Good-morning." The girl cast a comprehensive glance around the rather bare room.
At the fire-engine house they turned under the dense shade of the maples. But by the end of the second block said Bobby: "We'll go this way."
