"We've got 'em on the run!" exulted Yale. The blue team was within striking distance of the Harvard goal. The signal came for a kick in an attempt to send the ball over the crossbar. How it happened no one could say. It was one of the fumbles that so often occur in a football game fumbles that spell victory for one team and defeat for another.
As it was hauled in, a second and stronger line attached to it was pulled, in turn, over the cables, and thence in by the window. Karamaneh twisted a length of it around a metal bracket fastened in the wall, and placed a light wooden crossbar in my hand. "Make sure that there is no one in the street," she said, craning out and looking to right and left, "then swing across.
The traces were doubled, and, as an additional precaution, the nave-boxes were stuffed with straw, as much to increase the strength of the wheels as to lessen the jolting, unavoidable on a dark night. Lastly, the fore and hinder parts, connected simply by the axles to the body of the tarantass, were joined one to the other by a crossbar, fixed by means of pins and screws.
"That is a good idea," approved Mr. Sparling. "Get the net, and hold it in readiness." Teddy, in the meantime, was working his way up. After a time his hands grasped the crossbar and he pulled himself up astride it, waving one hand to those below him. Bruiser, however, was not there.
While she lay thus helplessly, all her sails of a sudden slack and sweeping the yards, she fired her lower tier, charged with crossbar shot, into the 'San Felipe. Then the unwieldy galleon of a thousand and five hundred tons, which bristled with cannon from stem to stern, had good reason to repent her of her temerity, and 'shifted herselfe with all dilligence from her sides, utterly misliking her entertainment. It is said she foundered shortly afterwards.
One of them boasted a small stock yard roughly cobbled, an open cowshed and alongside a stable with a heavy double door. As a mere matter of form Harrison Smith determined to take a glance inside but on approaching the door he found it was fastened by an iron crossbar secured to an eyelet by a large and well made padlock.
The next bridge glowed in the sun like the embers of a fire for it was built entirely of shining copper copper rivets, copper plates, copper beams, nothing but copper. The silver tracks led over the copper bridge into a broad valley. By the roadside there was a high crossbar from which depended heavy cuts of meat lamb and pork and veal.
Hooray for Dave!" while the boy on the telegraph-pole was seen to clutch wildly at the crossbar on which he sat he had come near tumbling from his perch. The two knights rode slowly back to the head of the lists, where the Discarded was seen to dismount and tighten his girth. "He's tryin' to git time to rest," said the Hon. Sam. "Toot, son!"
He knew Pilate would grant him almost any favour he might ask; but within fifty yards of the crosses his heart began to fail him, for, whereas the thieves were straining their heads high in the air above the crossbar, Jesus' head was sunk on to his chest.
The business end is about two feet long and not more than three inches broad, with a sort of shoulder for the foot. The handles are about six feet long and end like a mop-stick, without any crossbar. A slight alteration would turn these tools into pikes, a much more likely operation than the beating of swords into plough-shares and spears into pruning-hooks.
