A weird, fear-inspiring procession it is, as they go floundering past, crowding one another, snapping, snorting, and barking, like so many mastiffs! Fortunately for the spectators, the creatures are fur-seals, and not the fierce sea-lions; for the fur-seal is inoffensive, and shows fight only when forced to it.
"Perhaps all the dead people are crowding round here now. Why isn't any one out walking?" "I suppose they are all frightened by what they've heard, and think it better to stay at home." We were walking down the Morskaia, and our feet gave out a ringing echo. "Let's keep up with them," Nina said. When we had joined the others I found that they were both silent Lawrence very red, Vera pale.
Big Tom Horton whispered to Beth that he did not intend to leave her side until all danger was over. The deck was deserted, all the passengers crowding into the smoking room and saloons to escape the lava dust. Few kept their rooms or ventured to sleep.
"No; I hardly think I'll do that.... Now as to that gray you rode, I've got a chance to trade him." And the talk became all of horse, which is exclusive and rejective of other interests, even of women. Going back in the train, Banneker reviewed the crowding events of the day.
Every soul in Zyobor moved in a daze, with strained face and fear haunted eyes. Their proficiency in mental telepathy was a curse to them now: every one carried constantly, transmitted from the brains of the servant-fish outposts, a thought picture of that outer cavern in the murky depths of which writhed the thousands of crowding Quabos. Each mind in Zyobor was in continual torment.

Events crowding upon each other with a rapidity which bewilders us, seem steadily and swiftly bringing the freedom of the negro to its accomplishments.
Nothing but jostling, crowding, and stifling on the little footways under the narrow strip of sky.
He did not know where to begin his search, so he went into the courts and backyards and asked at random. People were crowding into a courtyard in Blaagaard Street, so Pelle entered it. There was a missionary there who spoke with the sing-song accent of the Bornholmer, in whose eyes was the peculiar expression which Pelle remembered as that of the "saints" of his childhood.
Some small link-boys were crowding round as Miss Greenlow rejoined me, clamouring to be allowed to light us down the steps a very necessary precaution, for the darkness was quickly replacing the exquisite sunset colouring.
The outside throng in Palace Yard, meanwhile, made the most of their special privilege, crowding round "Sir Roger" and cheering in a manner that made the bay mare plunge and rear. With the least possible delay, the Claimant is got into the brougham, the door is banged to, and the bay mare is driven swiftly through the Yard, the crowd closing in behind.
