With a powerful grasp, he twisted the knife from Wu's hand and it fell with a clatter on the floor. I was at Wu myself an instant later. He was a powerful fighter, but we managed to snap the handcuffs on him finally, also. "Walter," panted Kennedy straightening himself out after the fracas, "I'll stay here with the prisoners. Go get the police."
Jenks was too slippery for me after his hand in the fracas, so I asked the steward to pick me out a man from forward, thinking he would be able to note the proper qualities better than myself, as he was thrown in closer contact with the men. The steward, Gunning, was a mulatto, as I have said, and he was of a sympathetic disposition.
Here the door, which was slightly ajar, was suddenly pushed open with some fracas, and in came the stout landlord, supporting with some difficulty an immense dish, in which was a mighty round mass of smoking meat garnished all round with vegetables; so high was the mass that it probably obstructed his view, for it was not until he had placed it upon the table that he appeared to observe the stranger; he almost started, and quite out of breath exclaimed: "God bless me, your honour; is your honour the acquaintance that the young gentleman was expecting?"
I don't suppose the life of your Arizona town would show these trade wars. It would take Eastern that is, older conditions, to provoke and carry one on."

The learned Mede, to his friend Sir Martin Stuteville, chronicles a fracas: "I am told of a great falling out between my Lord Treasurer and my Lord Digby, insomuch that they came to pedlar's blood, and traitor's blood.
During my several years' experience I had learned to avoid any such scenes as this one, and fully realized how easy it was to become involved in trouble through a fracas. But at this particular time I was really anxious to show fight and willing to take a whipping if I couldn't hold my own. We were not molested in that town again.
Five years ago we were both with the marshal in a fracas on the Little Big Horn reservation. Your company was pinned down on a knoll by a battery of field artillery. The Marshal sent me to your relief. We sneaked in, up an arroyo, and were able to get most of you out."

For a moment the wreckers stood as if paralyzed about the stone pedestal on which the false lantern was being built. Then, with one accord, the desperate men made a dash for the bush. "Stop 'em!" cried Tom Cardiff. "Don't let 'em get away!" "Come on!" yelled Blake to his chum. "We've got to get in this fracas!" And as they dashed after the wreckers the moving picture camera in the hands of Mr.
"You are doing nothing of the sort," the American answered, standing before him, grim and threatening. The Turk showed no sign of terror. He gripped his silver-headed cane firmly.
