Chester made a sudden movement and the cup of water went clattering to the ground. At the same moment Chester brought the butt of his revolver down on the head of the German soldier with a crunch. The man fell to the ground. Hastily now Chester seized the man by the feet and dragged him inside. Then the lad quickly stripped him of his clothes and donned them himself.
Even now the memory of it, mixing with the strains of the national anthem made him feel important, truculent. "Squads right!" same an order. Crunch, crunch, crunch in the gravel. The companies were going back to their barracks. He wanted to smile but he didn't dare.
Each arm of this savage animal with its double row of button-like suction discs closed upon any object brought within reach with a grip nothing could escape. The Indians tell me that devil-fish live mostly on crabs, mussels, and clams, the shells of which they easily crunch with their strong, parrot-like beaks. That was a wild, stormy, rainy night. How the rain soaked us in our tents!
Next instant, and even as the biggest male dingo of the pack flew at the man's other side, Finn pinned his mate to earth, and, with one tremendous crunch of his huge jaws, severed her jugular vein, and set her life's blood running over the parched earth.

Yet he could see no reason on earth why the man should make any attempt upon his life. The trip was to Harold's own advantage. He had plenty of time to think in the long walk to his cabin. Only the snowy forest lay about him: the only sound was the crunch of their shoes in the snow, and there was nothing to distract him.
Also the sounds of their travelling offered an analogous contrast. The dull crunch, crunch, crunch of the snow-shoes, the breathing of the living beings, the glither and creak of the sledge came to the ear blurred and confused; utterly unlike the cameo stillness of the winter dawn. Ten minutes of the really violent exertion of breaking trail warmed Dick through. His fingers ceased their protest.
Your feet crunch down in the nice cool sand. Part of the way there are rocks flat, mossy ones. They're so pretty and slippery! It's fun not knowing when you are going to fall down." "There's bamboo-vines," objected Lizzie. "Mother'll whip me if I tear my dress." "Oh, we'll stoop down and crawl under the vines." Anne was ready of resource.
