Anchorstock, joined in several of the conspirators. 'We all saw her a spanking-looking craft with a dead-light mounted on one side. 'Sure enough, said Anchorstock, staggered by this accumulation of evidence, 'my Polly's starboard eye was doused for ever by long Sue Williams of the Hard.
With a splash that doused us four, Ben went headlong into the sea. The uplift of the waves caught him. He threw back his arms with a cry. Then he sank like lead. The sailor son of the famous captain could not swim. Rebecca's eyes nigh jumped from her head with fright. Hortense grew white to the lips and shouted for that lout of a blackamoor sound asleep on the sand.
Then, toward midnight, with lights doused and life-belts strung along the rail for English submarines were in the Marmora we churned quietly round the corner of Stamboul and into the cool sea.
"Well, that steamer that just passed doused our lights, and we are going to land here to relight." "Sorry, but that's against the law," replied the officer. "You fellows always have an excuse ready, and I can't accept it. You will have to come along with me." "Arrested!" exclaimed Belle aghast. "That's about what it amounts to," replied the man coolly.

A man in the bows of the middle lugger showed a red lantern, and then doused it below the half-deck.
In the height of the squalls in this gale she doused all sail, and this occurred often enough. After this gale followed only a smart breeze, and the Spray, passing through the narrows without mishap, cast anchor at Sandy Point on February 14, 1896. What with sheep-farming, gold-mining, and hunting, the settlers in this dreary land seemed not the worst off in the world.
"Well!" said I, befooled into good-humor and laughing back. "If you give me a day's warning, I'll try to keep up with you." "Ah! There! I've put you through the ice at last! It's been such hard work!" "And I come up badly doused!" "Stimulated too! You're doing well already!" "My thanks to my instructor," and catching the spirit of her mockery, I swept her a courtly bow.
