As he stood up, in the full glow from the burning go-down, somebody tackled him about the knees and threw him head first on the sand-bags. "How many times must I give me orders?" barked the little sea-captain. "Under cover, under cover, and stay under cover, or I'll send ye below, ye gallivanting Oh! it's you, is it? Well, there's your port-hole." A stubby finger pointed in the obscurity.
It was over in a flash, and the fat man on his back by a dexterous push and go-down which the Japs might add with advantage to their much-vaunted jiu-jitsu. "'Beat it! urged my companion, and 'beat it' we did; dropping casually but hurriedly into a corner saloon, then through a side entrance out into another street. I looked at my friend admiringly.
He wondered if it would flood the go-down and get at the rubber stored there; he wondered if the soldiers had deserted their huts and taken refuge in the office. These thoughts were of not the slightest interest to him; they just came and strayed across his mind, which was still half-paralyzed by the great calamity that had befallen him.
They're all in the second story. Go right up; only be careful, the steps are bad." I climbed, and reached a sort of gloaming, under a very high roof, and found myself face to face with the gods. In the dusk of the great go-down the spectacle was more than weird: it was apparitional.
Rudolph, half wrapped in his matting, could see the hard, glassy eyes shine cruelly in their narrow slits; but before they lowered to meet his own, a jubilant yell resounded in the go-down, and with a grunt, the yellow face, the flambeau, and the sword were snatched away. He lay safe, but at the price of another man's peril.
Dana Da's letters were very insulting, and if he had then offered to lead a new departure, there is no knowing what might not have happened. But Dana Da was dying of whisky and opium in the Englishman's go-down, and had small heart for new creeds. "They have been put to shame," said he. "Never was such a Sending. It has killed me."
By the time he got to Palestine Johnnie Smith really could not compete with his belongings, and had to "borrow" a donkey to carry what could not possibly be left at Cox's Go-down and it took eight months after the Armistice was signed before sufficient shipping could be collected at Alexandria to bring that home.
Next morning Berselius ordered Félix to have the tents taken from the go-down and enough stores for two days. Tents and stores would be carried by the "soldiers" of the fort, who were to accompany them on the expedition.
I don't see how you Japanese can resist the collecting habit in a country where there are so many beautiful things to collect." "My dear Cousin, they are as great collectors as anybody, only they keep their valuables stored in a fire-proof house what is it you call it, Yoritomo?" asked Mr. Campbell. "It is called in English language a 'go-down."
Within the city, negro carriers may be heard at all hours, in couples, engaged in the transportation of clove-bags, boxes of merchandise, &c., from store to "godown" and from "go-down" to the beach, singing a kind of monotone chant for the encouragement of each other, and for the guiding of their pace as they shuffle through the streets with bare feet.
