They found Hilda leaning against the table opposite the cupboard, while Bob recited the contents of the shelves, and Wendell wrote them down. "Two packages of oatmeal." "Oatmeal," echoed John. "One tin of mustard." "Mustard." "A sack half-full of cornmeal." "Cornmeal." "What in the world are you doing?" cried Sydney, in amazement. Friedrich looked annoyed.
Strange to say the only thing of which there was a tolerable supply was water. The large cask that had hitherto stood on deck and which was still nearly half-full was now upon the raft. It had been bunged up and rolled overboard, and then safely deposited among the spars, where it floated of itself.
As he tilted it up she saw that it was two-thirds full. When he put it down with a long sigh and wiped his wet mouth it was not over half-full. He brooded over the fire, he gave no sign of noticing her. "Let me go," she said to Jarrold. "I am sick. I'd die here. Please let me go." Jarrold shifted and looked to his companions. Benny shook his head. "There ain't no hurry," he stated judicially.
The moon was half-full in a cloudless sky, and the drover had no difficulty in seeing, but, after an hour or two, he had the greatest difficulty in the world to keep awake.

Now at last we see the full use of every part of the flower, of the water-secreting horns of the bucket half-full of water, which prevents the bees from flying away, and forces them to crawl out through the spout, and rub against the properly placed viscid pollen-masses and the viscid stigma.
Near at hand stood a large wooden pot such as the Kaffirs make, from which the coffee kettle had been filled, that fortunately was still half-full of water. I seized it and ran to him. "Save me, white lord!" he howled. "You are the greatest of magicians and I am your slave."
The Court house stood in an open square, surrounded by a grove of cotton-woods. The lawn was freshly cut, and the flower beds were blooming. When Mr. Wheeler entered the courtroom upstairs, it was already half-full of farmers and townspeople, talking in low tones while the summer flies buzzed in and out of the open windows.
Margaret helped empty this entirely, setting the things in it on the table, and putting the ice in a large dish. They looked underneath at the pan into which the ice drained and found it half-full, so they emptied it. Then the lesson began as usual. "You see all these little covered bowls and plates with bits of food on them.
