When half out from the shed, the envelope was caught by a light cross-wind, and, in spite of the pull from the tug, the great fabric broke in half, nearly drowning the crew, who had to dive in order to get clear of the wreckage. There was considerable similarity in form, though not in performance, between the Mayfly and the prewar Zeppelin.
The reddleman, stung with suspicion of wrong to Thomasin, was aroused to strategy in a moment. He instantly left the bush and crept forward on his hands and knees. When he had got as close as he might safely venture without discovery he found that, owing to a cross-wind, the conversation of the trysting pair could not be overheard.
"Any time a cross-wind catches her." The engineer produced a match and stooped. This time she back-fired superbly, and Pyecroft went out over the right rear wheel in a column of rich yellow flame. "I've seen a mine explode at Bantry once prematoor," he volunteered. "That's all right," said Hinchcliffe, brushing down his singed beard with a singed forefinger.

These things must be sent to us for a purpose." "You can't change your grip on the day of an important match." "I suppose not. The fact is, I'm a bit jumpy, or I wouldn't have mentioned it. Oh, well! See you tomorrow at two." The day was bright and sunny, but a tricky cross-wind was blowing when I reached the club-house.
The field archer should learn to estimate distances correctly by eye. He should practice pacing measured lengths, so that he can tell how many yards any object may be from him. In hunting he should make a mental note of this before he shoots. In fact we nearly always call the number of yards before we loose the arrow. Where a strong cross-wind exists, a certain amount of windage is allowed.
The cops are almost invariably wound direct from the spinning bobbins, the exception being coloured yarn which is wound from hank. There are different types of machines used for cop winding, but in every case the yarn is wound upon a bare spindle, and the yarn guide has a rapid traverse in order to obtain the well-known cross-wind so necessary for making a stable cop.
Taking into consideration the broken ground, the short space at our disposal, and the fact that we landed cross-wind, V. had exhibited wonderful skill. We climbed out, relieved but cantankerous. V., still ignorant of the fire, wanted to know why my gun was silent during our first fight; and I wanted to know why he hadn't shut off the engine and listened when I shouted for the fire extinguisher.
