In that one minute there fell, beaten into the undergrowth to die miserably or flailed into the greedy hands and caps of the murderers, some half a hundred innocent and lovely lives, all of them torn out in an agony of fear without knowing why. Ishmael ran forward, not even hearing his own voice as it shouted oaths he never knew he had used.
He stepped back when Harlan dashed at him, and Thornton halted of his own accord. After a time he calmed himself enough to speak. "I'll not begin with you, Linton. I'll begin with the man who started that damnable lie. Oh, that that !" He flailed his arms about his head, unable to express himself. "You've been lied to. You don't know any better than to say that.
The silence was outward: there was no quiet in the adventurer's head. He could not stop the sharp remorseless voice which kept sounding in his brain. Its pitiless words flailed him unceasingly with their stinging taunts. "You you whom they call the Hawk," it would say; "you, the infallible one you, so recklessly, egotistically confident you have brought this to pass!
"Fine, ain't it?" and he flailed his arms about to keep the blood in circulation. "Christmas Eve," said Dan solemnly, as though to himself, "the finest I ever spent"; and he added apologetically, "even if I am making an eternal fool of myself." On they sped.
The major replied nothing, but his pick-axe flailed into the cement with desperate energy. Emilio and others seconded him, while Rennes and Wallace dug, kneeling, with their crowbars.
Rick flailed arms and legs, trying to break free of the grip that held him. He saw the wounded frogman fire his spear at Scotty. The boy moved just in time, and the shaft shot between his arm and side. Scotty let go of his useless gun and grappled with the frogman, reaching for his knife with one hand while he gripped the frogman's wrist with the other. Rick knew their air was running out fast.
Three by three they came, and three by three they went down. Braced on his strong, short legs Gunnar flailed them like wheat. Screams and curses filled the night. And Gunnar piled the dead before him. One by one the companies returned to Grim Hagen and reported that for the present there was no other way into the room below. Grim Hagen held a short council of war.
The same force that caused Jimmy Holden to curl within himself now caused him to relax; help that could be trusted was now at hand. The muscles of his throat relaxed. He whimpered. The icy paralysis left his arms and legs; he kicked and flailed.
He reached out in the old way, lifted his horse by sheer great force and fairly flung him ahead! "Flu-r-r-r!" it was Lizzette's breath as he went by her. He shot his eyes quickly sideways as she flailed the air with her forefeet within a foot of his head.
Came a swift burst of flame; black, greasy smoke gushed from the stern, trailing on the high, cold air. Long fire-tongues, banners of incandescence, flailed away, roaring into space. Shouts burst, muffled, from below. A bell jangled madly. The crackle of pistol-fire punched dully through the rushing swiftness. With a curse the major whirled. Frowning, the Master turned and peered.
