I recking I kin bark it anyheow. Heer's to try!" A tall yellow-haired man standing with a rifle to his shoulder his sallow cheek resting against the stock the barrel apparently aligned upon my body the quick detonation of a percussion-cap a stream of red fire and smoke from the muzzle a shock, followed by the quivering of the timbers to which I was tied, were perceptions and sensations of almost simultaneous occurrence.
She condescended nevertheless to gather a great bunch of the white catchfly, to make 'pops' with, her friend Marie at the Giesbach having shown her how a startling detonation may be obtained, by skilful management, out of its globular calyx. "This morning is not so promising, one of the provoking ones which will neither let you stay at home with resignation, nor go anywhere with pleasure.
An amateur explosive expert of ours tested one of these things by attempting detonation and ignition before he would let his batch of prisoners retain them, which, to do their intelligence justice, they were not keen on doing, but offered any quantity of the stuff for cigarettes.
No sound came from her. Then, with a great bizarre shuffling noise, as if the boilers had broken through the bulkheads, and with a faint muffled detonation, where the ship had been there appeared for a moment something standing upright and narrow, like a rock out of the sea.

Then Lockley looked down at the cheese grater-pocket radio device of his own manufacture. He considered the fact that his own pistol had exploded the instant he'd turned the gadget on.
