As we rode away, nothing remained of Texan Boston except three patches of white ashes, and a few half-burnt logs, nor do I know if that important city has ever been rebuilt. We were now about twenty miles from the Red River, and yet this short distance proved to be the most difficult travelling we had experienced for a long while.
But, indeed, they had little time to look aloft as they penetrated to streets littered, where the procession had passed, with wrecked chaises, dead mules, human bodies half-buried and half-burnt, charred limbs protruding awkwardly from heaps of stones.
Then the box broke open, scattering some half-burnt papers in all directions. The boys picked the papers up and also a small bag of buckskin. When Joe opened the bag he found it contained exactly a hundred dollars in gold. "That's a nice find," said Ned. "Anyway, you are a hundred dollars richer than you were."
I am obliged to you all the same. Good-night!" "Say, Big Bear! Will you take me on the water?" Merefleet, lounging on the shingle with a pipe and newspaper, looked up with a start and hastened to knock out the half-burnt tobacco on the heel of his boot. His American friend stood above him, clad in the white linen costume she always wore for boating. She looked very enchanting and very childlike.
How such a hot-house plant as Theosophy ever took root in the swamps and sands of the Wolverine State may seem surprising at the first glance, but let the second rest upon our environment the absence of mountain or swift-flowing river, the presence of fever and ague and half-burnt pine woods and it will be seen that this Eastern lore with its embarrassment of symbols supplies a long-felt want to starving imagination.

Here was a well-defined trail, running from Will's Creek to a hamlet knows as Shadd's Run, named after an old Englishman who had settled there six years previous. Shadd and his family had been massacred by the Indians at the time of Braddock's defeat, and all that was left of his commodious log cabin was a heap of half-burnt logs.
Then addressing Orlando, "It was truly civil in you, friend, to come hither with that handsome coat of armor and vest, the very things I want." "You shall pay for them, then," said Orlando; and seizing a half-burnt brand from the fire, he hurled it at him, striking his head, and stretching him lifeless on the floor.
Then he drove them out from the ships, and quenched the burning fire. And the half-burnt ship was left there, and the Trojans fled, with a marvellous din, and the Danaans poured in among the hollow ships, and ceaseless was the shouting.
