The most important of these were: The moving of the forward main crosspiece of the frame to the extreme front edge; the encasing in the cloth of all crosspieces and ribs of the surfaces; a rearrangement of the wires used in trussing the two surfaces together, which rendered it possible to tighten all the wires by simply shortening two of them.
But the fleet represented by the crosspiece, moving across the point of the upright, is in the deadly line-ahead, with all its near broadsides turned in one long converging line of fire against the helplessly narrow-fronted enemy.
"I can't," said he, shuddering; "the chasm is awfully deep." "You must, or die the death of the felon." "Oh, what shall I do!" "Cast off the lashing just above you," said Pigtop; "pass it over the crosspiece over your head, make a running noose, put it under your arms, and keep the other end of the rope in your hand.
On the left was a large, deep fireplace, with a massive, over-hanging oak mantelpiece. Beside the fireplace was a heavy oaken chair with arms and cross-bars at the bottom. In and out through the open woodwork was woven a crimson cord, which was secured at each side to the crosspiece below.
A wreath of yellow immortelles, tied to the crosspiece, was interwoven with these spangled letters: "R-E-G-R-E-T-S;" and the solemn air of the old man seemed to evidence that they were not meaningless. The hunchback was Lees' principal creditor.
After this, I took the sword up and marched on the platform with it at my side. This I will say for it that, considering its size and weight, it is easily carried; for not only is there the crosspiece as hand-guard, but above this is a crescent worked in the iron, the horns extending with the convexity towards the point of the blade.
The shock of the water brought him instantly to his senses, and, being a fairly good swimmer, he had not the least difficulty in reaching and clutching the crosspiece of a wooden ladder that, coated with slimy sea moss, led from the water level to the wharf above.
Color with crayon or water color. Fasten the legs and arms to the body with a string tied loosely to allow free movements. Make a frame of two light stiff sticks and a crosspiece fastened between them near the lower end of the sticks. Fasten with a single nail at either end of the crosspiece. Cut notches near the upper ends of the sticks. Fasten the figure to the frame by a stout thread.
"Doesn't he look fine, altogether French?" she said. Rosaline turned away without answering. A little later she picked up the perch and carried the parrot, that swayed sleepily on the crosspiece, down the ladder. "Les bourgeois a la lanterne, nom de dieu!" came the old man's voice singing on the shore. "He's drunk as a pig," muttered the old woman. "If only he doesn't fall off the gang plank."
He fitted the inner side of the crosspiece of the gallows with pegs upon which the rope rested, entirely out of sight of him upon whom it was presently to be used, until the moment when Uncle Tobe, stretching a long arm upward, brought it down, all reeved and ready.
