Meanwhile the outdoor girls, having raced to the goal, an old boat half-buried in the sand, came to a panting halt. Mollie had won, chiefly because she had started off before the others, for Betty was accounted the best runner of her chums.
As I stood with my foot on the half-buried ribs of one of these vessels, so distinctly traced that one might almost fancy them human, the old pilot, my companion, told me the story of the wreck. The vessel had formerly been in the Cuba trade; and her owner, an American merchant residing in Havana, had christened her for his young daughter.
Chesterton pounced upon the half-buried match-box, and in a panic lest he might again lose it, thrust it inside his tunic. "Little do you know, El Capitan," he exclaimed breathlessly, as he scrambled back into the saddle and lifted the pony into a gallop, "what a narrow escape I had. I almost lost it."
An old cemetery lies to one side of it; where unconventional inscriptions and queer epitaphs can be traced on the half-buried stones, covered with a tangle of vines and weeds.
Inexpressibly eerie sounded the half-buried voice of the singer in that Solitary place. The weird ditty suited well with both. She lean'd her head against a thorn, The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa'; And there she has her young babe born, And the lyon shall be lord of a'.
At length the last one of the gang followed the example of his companions, and dropped over. They were all now upon their sides, half-buried in the bunch grass. I thought I noticed the calf still upon its feet; but at that moment the bugle sounded, and a simultaneous cheer broke from all sides of the prairie.

The middle within the belt of verdure was floored with a thick flossy carpet of moss and grass intermingled, so yielding that the foot was half-buried within it. "Now." said Troy, producing the sword, which, as he raised it into the sunlight, gleamed a sort of greeting, like a living thing, "first, we have four right and four left cuts; four right and four left thrusts.
If his supposition were correct, the wreck might be worth buying and one could, no doubt, buy her very cheap. The boat had for some time lain half-buried in shifting sands at the mouth of an African river. The underwriters would be lucky if they sold her for old iron. Cartwright weighed the cost of floating.
In short, this tremendous abstraction, Cybele, Ideae, Mater, Isiac controller of the Zodiacs, whatever she may be, has her representative in the half-buried Sphinx even to our own day, watching the stars although nearly swallowed up in the engulphing sands."
He was the sentinel, set to watch on behalf of several companions, two or three being perched on ledges of the rock, browsing, one standing half-buried in the herbage of the pasture, and one on the margin of the water, drinking as it would not have dreamed of doing if the wind had not been in the wrong quarter for letting him know how near the hidden Erica was. This pretty sight was soon over.
