Mascola nodded his head in the direction of the beach. "My skiff lies close to rocks by the point," he said. "The launch is close by." Bandrist fingered his automatic nervously. "We can wait no longer," he said. As he spoke he began to crawl forward toward the water. The blue light from the signal flares flickered about the rock behind which Mascola had gone into hiding.
Jones of Georgia was swearing softly and feelingly into Shackelford's ear. Shackelford was sympathetic and nervous as he fingered a large bundle of manuscript in his back pocket.

He shook a cloud of dust out of his linen coat, brushed dust off his shoes, fingered dust out of his hair, and washed dust off his face. He was the most dust-begrimed mortal I ever saw. His ablutions made, he sat down in a double seat with me and offered me a cigar. "Close call," said I. "Yes, you bet sixteen miles in an hour and thirty-five minutes.
