She settled down radiantly between her sister and aunt, with a hand for each. "Well, this is FUN!" said Sammy. "Did you get my letter? Were you surprised? Are you all going to stay until September?" Her happy fusillade of questions distressed them all. Mary said the unwise thing, trying to laugh, as she had always laughed, at Sammy: "DON'T talk as if you were going to be married, Sammy!
The other camels had no harness save the surcingles that held their loads. In a panic, a sand-storm, a fusillade from Bedouins, a mirage, and a race for water, if Abdullah and Ali could grasp these lanyards, the caravan was saved, since the other camels followed the dun leader and the black racer as sheep follow the bell-wether. Abdullah walked at the left, abreast of the dun.
A few seconds after the explosion there was a dropping fusillade the commercial travellers and the actors shutting their doors. Then silence. And then out of the silence the terrified Mr Cowlishaw heard arising and arising a vast and fearful breathing, as of some immense prehistoric monster in pain. At first he thought he was asleep and dreaming. But he was not.
The fusillade which the regiment opened as the men grained the crest of the hill, put a different complexion on the affair. The rebels recognized the force of circumstances, and speedily rode back out of range, and then out of sight. As the last of them disappeared over the hill the wearied regiment dropped down all around to rest.
Had the English got their artillery up to those inaccessible heights? But no; there was no further sound of cannonading, only a fierce and continuous fusillade, which told of the battle raging so fiercely up yonder on the heights.
Every now and then, athwart the fierce crackling of the fusillade, the young man heard a sigh or a low rattle, and a rush was made among the band as if to make room for some poor wretch clutching hold of his neighbours as he fell. The firing lasted ten minutes. Then, between two volleys some one exclaimed in a voice of terror: "Every man for himself! Sauve qui peut!"
One shot from a gun perhaps would send all that crowd flying, the first fusillade might scatter "the band of brigands," but Marchand cannot, dare not give the positive order to fire; he knows that rank insubordination, positive refusal to obey would follow. He talks to the men, he harangues, he begs them to defend their city against this "horde of Corsican pirates."
Greeted on Arrival in the Ruined City of Ypres by a Furious Fusillade I Film the Cloth Hall and Cathedral, and Have a Narrow Escape A Once Beautiful Town Now Little More Than a Heap of Ruins Arras a City of the Dead Its Cathedral Destroyed But Cross and Crucifixes Unharmed. To Ypres! This was the order for the day. The news gave me a thrill of excitement.
The fusillade lasted for about eight or ten minutes; and then it was discovered that though certainly two or three hundred pheasants had got up at this corner, only twenty-two and a half brace were killed to five guns. "Well," said the major, taking off his cap and wiping his forehead, "that was a bit of a scrimmage!"
Jared Long had been drawn into the room by the furious fusillade, and now put the startling question whether advantage could not be taken of the panic to make a sudden dash for the woods. It would never do to make for the boat still resting against the shore, for it would be filled with poisoned javelins before they could shove out into the Xingu.
