Her iron plates, four and a half inches thick, extend but half her length, leaving more than a hundred feet at each end covered by a plate of only five-eighths of an inch in thickness; and in case these portions should be injured, she must rely upon her water-tight compartments.
Turning the plate to the outer side, I press it flat, between the square let into the bench and the three-inch slip clamped about fifteen inches apart, as spoken of before. This is done so that it may be rigid whilst I take one-inch rasp 47, and proceed to level all round the wood to about five-eighths of an inch and five-thirty-seconds of an inch deep.
"Plates, about five-eighths of an inch; frames, like railroad iron." "This hull is a shell! We won't get much salvage. Get up some kind of distress signal, Boston." Somehow the doctor was now the master-spirit. A flag was nailed to the mast, union down, to be blown to pieces with the first breeze; then another, and another, until the flag locker was exhausted.
The cannery isn't giving but fifteen cents a basket this year and it's got to be a full five-eighths basket, too, for they weigh 'em." Hiram looked at him with a quizzical smile. "So you set about thirty-six hundred and forty plants to the acre?" he said. "I reckon so." "And you'll have five acres of tomatoes?" "Yep. So Dad says. He has contracted for that many.
If the supply of stock at that figure was large Rivers would probably continue to bid five-eighths. If, on the other hand, he noticed an increasing demand, he would probably pay three-fourths for it.

The blocks at either end speak for themselves, they having been fashioned to shape out of Swiss pine, and planed and squared so as to be glued square where you see them marked, later on. And be sure they stand one-and-a-half inches high in the rough, for a reason I will give you later, and about five-eighths of an inch thick, to about the breadth you see on fig. 10.
"I suppose father's right," said she; "but what's to be done about it? Is that poor old woman to have only half enough to eat, so that you may read twice as much Virgil?" Harry laughed. "But perhaps she will have five-eighths of enough to eat if I only read nine-sixteenths as much Latin," said he. "Oh! you're always poking arithmetic fun at me," said Kate.

Thorndyke measured with the dividers the distance between the starting and arriving points of the route and took it off from the scale. "Five-eighths of a mile, roughly," he said. "You could have walked it in less than ten minutes.
In London, the great silver market, silver rose, between the autumn and the new year, from five shillings per ounce to five shillings one and five-eighths pence per ounce, and Mexican dollars from four shillings ten and one-half pence to four shillings eleven and five-eighths pence per ounce; nor did prices recover until toward the end of the year 1851, when the fall was as sudden as the rise."
