Though such a movement on the part of the whale struck under such circumstances, is in no wise unprecedented; and indeed is almost always more or less anticipated; yet does it present one of the more perilous vicissitudes of the fishery. For as the swift monster drags you deeper and deeper into the frantic shoal, you bid adieu to circumspect life and only exist in a delirious throb.
Run him to earth at last!" And diving down into a crack, Wynd drags out by the collar the unconscious Elsley. "What a swab! Like a piece of wet blotting-paper. Lucky he's not made of salt." "He's dead!" says Naylor. "Not a bit. I can feel his heart. There's life in the old dog yet."
The whistling wings that seemed a hawk were a sham, made by a racquet thrown through the air by the fowler, through a slot in his tower. He keeps by him many such racquets. The door of the tower opens, and out comes the fowler. He is lowbrowed, swarthy, ill kept, and wears rings in his ears. A soiled hand seizes the struggling linnet, and drags it violently from the threads that entangled it.
Ah! if I could speak aloud to those who, when passing, cast looks of pity upon me, I should say to the young man whose excesses have dimmed his sight before he is old, 'What have you done with your eyes? To the slothful man, who with difficulty drags along his enervated mass of flesh, 'What have you done with your feet? To the old man, who is punished for his intemperance by the gout, 'What have you done with your hands? To all, 'What have you done with the days God granted you, with the faculties you should have employed for the good of your brethren? If you cannot answer, bestow no more of your pity upon the old soldier maimed in his country's cause; for he he at least can show his scars without shame."
His ploughs and drags do better work with more ease to himself and his team. He has discovered that he can keep improved stock at less expense, and at far greater profit.
The alligator don't go to work that way: he gets hold of your leg, and no doubt he mangles it a bit; but he don't bite right through the bone; he just takes hold of you and drags you down to the bottom of the river, and keeps you there until you are drowned; then he polishes you off at his leisure." "The brutes!" Harry exclaimed, with deep emphasis.
I have done my best; with grasping hands and impotent strength, I have hung on the wheel of the chariot of plague; but she drags me along with it, while, like Juggernaut, she proceeds crushing out the being of all who strew the high road of life. Would that it were over would that her procession achieved, we had all entered the tomb together!" Tears streamed from his eyes.
To-day the morning rose with rain, which has since changed to snow and sleet; and now the landscape is as dreary as can well be imagined, white, with the brownness of the soil and withered grass everywhere peeping out. The swollen river, of a leaden hue, drags itself sullenly along; and this may be termed the first winter's day. Friday, March 31, 1843.
But once fairly started the book throws the writer on one side and takes the lead, drags him, panting and protesting, after it, flings him down by-ways out of sight of his main road, tumbles him into people he had no thought of meeting, and finally stops him dead, Heaven knows where in front of a blank wall, most likely, at the end of a cul de sac.
But the women are going; and she rises with a groan, and drags herself after them.
