When he faced the first flume, spanning a hair-raising gorge, narrow, without railings, with a bellowing waterfall above, another below, and directly beneath a wild cascade, the air filled with driving spray and rocking to the clamour and rush of sound and motion well, that cow-boy dismounted from his horse, explained briefly that he had a wife and two children, and crossed over on foot, leading the horse behind him.
A big, brawny, and most repulsive-looking savage, who was probably the captain of the craft, sat perched up in the stern, steering with a somewhat longer and broader-bladed paddle, and urging his crew to maintain their exertions by continually giving utterance to the most hair-raising shrieks and yells.
"It was an awful experience, but now that it is over, I'm glad we had it. I will have something to brag about when I'm at college, this Fall." Ken laughed. "I'd rather not brag than to go through such a hair-raising time again." "Do both of you boys intend going to college?" asked Eleanor. "Yes; we've gone through school together since we were little shavers.
"If it's Roller-coasters and Chute-the-chutes that you want, I fancy you'll get enough before the week is out," he sighed laughingly. "They said they'd like to go there to-morrow, please, when I asked them what we should do next. What surprises me is that they like such things such hair-raising things.
So, later he had sought out his sister and coaxed her into telling him the hair-raising sum to which amounted the "two or three frocks" she had had that summer. He had also learned that Mr. Yelverton, the Carrons, the Newlyns, and Théo Joyselle were coming that afternoon, and what the real reason was that had made the Frenshaws wire they could not come.
"In the first days of this accursed month, while the padres were bemoaning their fate in jail, a dark drama was being enacted in the convento, whose hair-raising scenes would have inspired terror to Montepiu himself.
Greenhalge and a few young highbrows and a reformed crook named Harrod did most of the hair-raising. They're going to nominate Greenhalge for mayor; and he told 'em something about that little matter of the school board, and said he would talk more later on.
And so often you can't tell which one is best like me going to the hair-raising to-night, or Marion Lawrence and that letter." "I think she ought to have delivered the letter," said Helen. "But it was such fun not to," objected Betty. "And probably it was only an advertisement. Now I'm really going to sleep."
Mary wouldn't have her know for anything, so she decided to give a hair-raising to-night, as if she'd planned for it days ahead." "But what is it?" demanded Betty. If Miss Lawrence was in Mary's confidence she had no intention of betraying it; and there was nothing to do but wait for eight o'clock, the hour which Mary had mentioned in her invitations.
And, dashing aft, I lent my assistance to the man who was tending the helm. Then ensued a breathless, hair-raising fifteen seconds, during which it seemed impossible for the schooner and the brigantine to avoid a collision in which case they must have sunk each other out of hand.
