I had not been long on board before I found out, what seemed to have escaped the midshipmen's observation when they hired the boat, that the rigging was sadly rotten, and that she herself was in a somewhat leaky condition. They, however, only laughed at the leaking. "It will keep the boat sweet, and give Jack Nobs and Auguste something to do," observed Master Trundle, cocking his eye at me.
"I believe the small wolves follow the big fellows, and help them to eat what they kill, though they generally sit round and look on at the killing." "Hist!" exclaimed Joe, cocking his gun; "there he is, an' no mistake." There he was, undoubtedly. A wolf of the largest size with one of his feet in the trap.
Frank wants to be her -to be her -her admirer, said Valetta, cocking her head on one side, and adding to the already crimson colour of her cheeks. 'Nonsense, Val, what do you and Maura know of such things? 'We aren't babies, Gill, and it is very unkind of you, when you told me I was to make friends with Maura White; and Kitty Varley is quite cross with me about it.
I raised my gun, at the same moment manipulating the lock, with the design of cocking her. In the confusion of terror, I had even forgotten that both barrels were empty, that I had just scattered their contents in the sea.
Didn't it, Joe?" Joe again rolled a deprecatory eye at his crony and cleared his throat, but did not otherwise commit himself. "It mun ha' been a fit or soom sich thing," continued Ted, cocking his hat over his eye and glancing waggishly at Lovelady. "When Joe see it, says he, 'My word, there'll be a pretty to do!

D'Artagnan felt inclined for an instant to pursue Master Friquet, but not wishing to leave Raoul alone he contented himself with taking a pistol from the holster and cocking it. Friquet had a quick eye and a fine ear.
Now quit cocking those automatic eyebrows at me; you've been doing that ever since we met, and they haven't gone off yet, not once." Irrepressible, Liane's laughter pealed; and though he couldn't help smiling, Lanyard hastened to offer up himself on the altar of peace. "But messieurs! you interest me so much.
"A mountain of copper," he said, looking upward. "The whole butte is nothing but ore. Some rich, some low-grade, but shattered that's the idea! You can scoop it up with a steam shovel." He whistled through his teeth, cocking his eye up at the mountain and then looking down at the townsite. "You bet a big camp!" And then to Jepson: "That's fine, Mr. Jepson; you're doing noble.
"Very well; fetch up some tobacco and sugar and give them," said the doctor; but at the first step Bostock took half the men rushed at and seized him, making his companions snatch at their guns, but only to have them wrested away, the blacks cocking them and drawing the triggers so as to fire them off if loaded, with a sharp click, click, as the hammers fell.
Here and there, where weed coated the rocks and made foothold slippery, he took the hand which Taffy held out. Now and then he paused for a pinch of snuff. The round of inspection finished, he took an extraordinarily long pinch.
