Bradford, enigmatically, "that was his reason, or rather, perhaps I should say, if you had known your uncle more intimately and had visited him here, or, if he had had the privilege of knowing you quite often, as you know, a personal acquaintance proves disappointing, though, of course, in this case " The old gentleman was floundering helplessly when Harlan rescued him.
When the fish is in the water, it is by no means remarkable for brilliancy of hue, and as as soon as it is dead it returns to its original colour a dingy sea-green; but whilst it is floundering and flapping upon the deck, it is impossible to say what is its real appearance, so many and so different are the hues which it assumes.
For her I turned my back upon the poor who looked to me for help, forgot the great city I loved, overturned God's altars, scorned heaven and dared the terrors of hell. Do you think that I will give her up? I own her, body and soul. I've paid the price." He paused a moment, quivering with passion. "I know," he went on, "I was a fool floundering in a bog of sentiment.
But as this pond, or rather that portion of it into which he had fallen, was not deep, he soon splashed across it, to the amazement of the assembled party who witnessed the feat, which a fresh blue-light, just then ignited, afforded them ample means of doing the heavy souse he had made in tumbling in, and the splutter he made in floundering out again, having already attracted their attention to the spot which, as he seemed to have selected the very widest part of the whole pool, was the very last of all others any one could have suspected an entry to have been made on the premises.
The entire Overland party were now floundering about in the bushes, and Washington Washington was up a tree, clinging to it, wide-eyed, as he listened to the uproar below him. Darting this way and that, the bear finally raced around a tree with Miss Briggs following. The purchase thus given to her served to check the progress of the animal. Hippy took instant advantage.
"Did didn't you find her?" gasped Miss Elting. "No." Jane was gone again, leaving a wake that reached all the way to the beach, so violent had been her floundering dive. Tommy, who had raised her head from the water a short distance from where the guardian was paddling, uttered a scream. "There thhe ith!" she cried; "there she ith! Right down there. Come in a hurry. She ith under the car.
Just then the steady droning of the engine seemed a bit less rhythmical. Verplanck throttled her down, but it had no effect. He shut her off. Something was wrong. As he crawled out into the space forward of us where the engine was, it seemed as if the Streamline had broken down suddenly and completely. Here we were floundering around in the middle of the bay.
Winona thought him curiously evasive in manner. She believed that he feared the worst for the boy, but was concealing it from her. "His eye is almost well where that cowardly bully struck him," she told Sharon. "If only we could get him into something where he could hold his head up." "He does that too much now," began Sharon, impulsively, but stopped, floundering.
On one occasion, an old buffalo bull approached so near that the half-breeds must fain try to noose him as they would a wild horse. The noose was successfully thrown around his head, and secured him by the horns, and they now promised themselves ample sport. The buffalo made prodigious turmoil in the water, bellowing, and blowing, and floundering; and they all floated down the stream together.
As described by the American protest sent to Austria-Hungary on December 6, 1915, based upon the testimony of American and other survivors, the Ancona thereupon "attempted to escape, but being overhauled by the submarine she stopped; that after a brief period, and before the crew and passengers were all able to take to the boats, the submarine fired a number of shells at the vessel and finally torpedoed and sank her while there were yet many persons on board, and that by gunfire and floundering of the vessel a large number of persons lost their lives or were seriously injured, among whom were citizens of the United States."
