When the door swung open a moment later it closed on the first officer a square, thick-set, round-headed man, with mild blue eyes set in a face framed by a half-circle of reddish-brown whiskers, the face tanned by twenty-five years of sea service, fifteen of them with Captain Bogart. "Getting soapy," he said; "wind haulin' to the east'ard. Goin' to have a nasty night."
There were pale glimmers from the street in the half-shadow; and a quiet star or two high up in a dark sky; one seemed to be falling in a great half-circle it was only an airplane keeping watch over the sleeping city.
As quickly as possible I posted them in a half-circle round the thicket, and gave the head jemadar instructions to start a simultaneous beating of the tom-toms and cans as soon as he judged that I had had time to get round to the other side.
Bud said there was about fifteen of them. You can ride over after you get settled and help cut 'em out. What iron do you want to put on them?" "Well, seein' it's me own brand, I reckon it will be like this: A kind of half-circle for the sun, and a lot of little lines runnin' out to show that it's shinin', and underneath a straight line meanin' the earth, which is 'Sundown' me own brand.

I saw by the start that Mademoiselle de Bourbon gave that it was hers, when the first paper was taken out 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity! a few minutes were offered to the young Abbe to collect his thoughts, but he declined them, and he was led to a sort of a dais at the end of the salon, while the chairs were placed in a half-circle.
"For a moment I saw a ghost. My old dead better self!... It's gone.... And you stay with me." After dark Kells had his men build a fire before the open side of the cabin. He lay propped up on blankets and his saddle, while the others lounged or sat in a half-circle in the light, facing him.
