The mighty vessel staggered this way and that, jerking and straining terribly as the zone was thrown on and off, lurching sickeningly about the central bearing as the gigantic power of the driving bar was exerted, now in one direction, now in another.

"That is what we call gyration 3d, or position No. 4. He who can execute it is considered an adept in our politics; and he invariably takes his position near the enemy, or at the junction of the hostile lines." "How, sir, are these lines, then, manned as they are with citizens of the same country, deemed hostile?" "Are cats and dogs hostile, sir? Certainly.
From the way it lay in her own she guessed her whole feeling saw it was a kind of shame, shame for her weakness, her swift surrender, her insane gyration, in the morning.

De preacher's 'n uncommon relijus man, an' de 'speriences uv de bredren is mighty upliftin'. Yes, sah!" "Well, see that they don't lift you up so high that you'll forget to come down again. I suppose you have an experience in common with the rest?" "Yes, Mass Hildreff," and the palm-leaf made another gyration through the air. "I'se got a powerful 'sperience, sah." "Well, off you go.
