It sank in a chaotic mass, surged onward and upward again, struck the bridge, and in a moment lifted it from its foundations and swept it away, a shattered wreck, the red covering showing in the distance like ensanguined stains among the tossing cakes of ice. They all drew a long breath, and Amy was as pale as if she had witnessed the destruction of some living creature.
But there were other and more sinister stains than those of wine on the planks there were great splashes of blood here and there on bulwarks and deck, much of which was partially hidden by the scattered cargo; but the scene was not nearly so sanguinary or revolting as I had expected to find it, for there were no ensanguined, mutilated corpses to shock the eye, or harrow the imagination, by the sight of their hurts.
Krause lay on his back in the centre of the room, his white duck clothes saturated with blood, which was still welling from three or four wounds in his deep, broad chest. I went over to him. He was dead. "Who hath done this?" I asked. "I, master," and Tematau placed an ensanguined hand on mine. "And I," said a softer voice, and Niâbon's eyes met mine calmly.
The officer poured out a stiff nip, drank it off, and then pointed to one of his troopers, who had just dismounted, and was holding in his hand a heavy bundle, wrapped up in an ensanguined saddle-cloth. "That's my £500, Grainger. I'll have to send those heads to Townsville for identification before I can claim the reward. Awfully smart of you to pot both of them." "Lamington, you're a beast.
She stood in the doorway to get the sunset glow upon the missive, and was herself ensanguined and enhanced, a sunny- haired, low-breasted young woman of middle height, rather faintly coloured, wholesome to see, with a bowed upper lip, and clear, grey-blue eyes of extreme directness and candour.
At this moment, Blueskin appeared with the lamp, and revealed a horrible spectacle, the floor deluged with blood, various articles of furniture upset, papers scattered about, the murdered man's cloak, trampled upon, and smeared with gore, his hat, crushed and similarly stained, his sword, the ensanguined cloth, with several other ghastly evidences of the slaughterous deed.
The wind had arisen, and was howling in fitful gusts across the ensanguined plain of the dead; dark night gathered over the gloomy slopes, conquered at such lavish waste of human life dark, but not silent; for in every direction arose the moans of the wounded and dying.
For many weeks the battle for Verdun was signalized by the most terrific artillery fire in history. No words can tell of the ear-stunning roar of the guns, or depict the horror of the tons of steel daily crashing and splintering amid massed bodies of men, while the softly-falling snows of late winter covered, but could not conceal, the ensanguined landscape.
In blood has it been baptised, and through blood-stained paths shall its course be taken." "Ha!" shrieked Bess, noticing for the first time the ensanguined condition of the infant's attire. "Cuthbert's blood oh!" "Listen to me, wicked woman," pursued the abbot, as if filled with a prophetic spirit.
The despairing rumours of this tragedy come to us only through the chinks of that ensanguined well which isolates it from the rest of the world. Nothing reaches our ears but the lies of the enemy. In reality, the whole of Belgium is one huge Prussian prison, where every cry is cruelly and methodically stifled and where no voices are heard save those of the gaolers.
