Several shots had caused a good deal of damage among the rigging of the gunboats. The Callao had only half a funnel left, from which gray-brown smoke and red sparks poured forth. Suddenly there was a loud explosion, and the Callao listed to port. A six-inch shell had hit her squarely in the stern, passing through the middle of the ship, and exploded in the upper part of the engine-room.
I thought of my own boys, and " The voice ceased in a pathetic little catch, the sensitive lips trembled, the beautiful gray-brown eyes filled with sudden tears. For a few moments there was silence; then, with a wavering smile, and a gentle, apologetic air, she said: "But I must not make Harry think he is in church." "Dear Aunt Murray," cried Harry, "do lecture me.
Ormoc did not prove interesting enough for a trip ashore in the hot sun, so my only recollection of the place is a white tribunal and a great preponderance of green foliage, toned down by the dull gray-brown of nipa buildings and the dull gray-blue of sky and sea. Then, too, it will always bring to mind the sad experience of a very delightful officer we met there.
Near the chickens' shelter the burnished old gobbler spread his tail and dragged his wings and puffed his feathers and swelled himself red in the face, to the great admiration of a demure gray-brown little turkey hen. Overhead wheeled two small hawks screaming. They clashed, and light feathers came floating down from the encounter; yet presently they flew away together to a hole in a dead tree.
"Yonder's McFluke's," he added, nodding toward two gray-brown log and shake shacks and a stockaded corral roosting on the high ground beyond the belt of cottonwoods and willows marking the course of the Lazy. "Them's his stables and corral," went on Chuck. "The house she's down near the river. Can't see her on account of the cottonwoods." "And they can't see us count of the cottonwoods. So "

The Lady Elza " I could feel Elza trembling again. Georg burst out: "What do you want of us? Who are you?" Tarrano's slim gray-brown hand came up. "The Lady Elza remembers me " He seemed waiting with his gentle smile for her to speak. "They called you Taro then," she said. Her voice was the small, scared, diffident voice of a child. "Yes. Taro. A mere sub-officer of the Central State.
"I could not have done it, Miss Cameron," said Raven, a wonderfully sweet smile lighting up his hard face, "I could not have done it had you ever lost your nerve." "I had no fear after I saw your face," said the girl simply. "I knew you could do it." "Ah, and how did you know that?" His gray-brown eyes searched her face more keenly. "I cannot tell.

Doddridge Knapp, massive, calm, forceful, surveyed his opponent with unruffled composure. He was dressed in a light gray-brown suit that made him seem larger than ever. Decker was nervous, disheveled, his dress of black setting off the pallor of his face, till it seemed as white as his shirt bosom, as he fronted the King of the Street.
They followed the herd stealthily, taking advantage of every hillock and tuft of buffalo grass to hide themselves.

The smaller ones were called coyotes or prairie wolves, and are larger than foxes and of a gray-brown color.
