The water was still perfectly smooth, and the boat flew straight before the wind without any tendency to broach to. Stephen, after the stroke-oar had gone forward, crept aft until he was beside the mate, and there lay for a time, feeling half-stupefied by the tremendous roar of the cyclone.
This night it was a bit muddy and dark, with a moderate breeze out of the south-west, as far as we could guess at the bearings of the wind. I was awakened from a deep slumber by an extraordinary convulsion in the ship. I was half-stupefied with sleep, and can therefore but imperfectly recall my sensations and the character of what I may term the throes and spasms of the vessel.
I shut them and began repeating cooling rhymes, such as 'twin peaks snow clad, 'From Greenland's Icy Mountains, and the 'Frozen North, by way of living up to Professor James' teachings. Whiskers was ambling on, half-stupefied with the heat, as I was, when from the road just in front came a peculiar sound.
"Much good their orchestra will do them," said he, "when it comes to facing soft-nosed .38's! But tell me, what was it you were going to show me?" Quickly she went over to their crude table, took up a dish and came back to him. "Drink this!" bade she. He took it, wondering. "What? Coffee? But " "Drink! I've had mine, already. Drink!" Half-stupefied, he obeyed.
While Mariano was being conveyed away, Sidi Hassan arose in a half-stupefied condition from the ground. Fortunately he was ignorant of who had knocked him down, and why he had been so treated, or he might have vented his wrath on poor Angela.

That's all. You can go to the docks, now." As Bet spoke she took a little white soft handkerchief, and laid it gently over her mother's face. "You can go now," she repeated, and she opened the door for the man, who slunk out of the room. He was half-sober, half-stupefied. A burning rage, which was neither remorse nor repentance, and yet was a mixture of both, surged up in his heart.
Happily, these pests are dull, half-stupefied with the cold, when discovered, and no man here has been stung, circumspect as they are; but ants arrive as alert and as vicious as in their native realm. Distinctly they are no joke. To handle a consignment of Epidendrum bicornutum demands some nerve.
The long loneliness of her life found expression in the eager voice, in the yearning eyes. As he stared at her, half-stupefied, he imagined she was holding out her arms to him in pleading. But it was not this erect form, slight and tense, that reached forth as if to clasp him to her heart; it was a memory of his youth, a memory that in some oddmanner blurred his perception of the living presence.
If she only COULD have laughed, harshly, ironically, or even mercifully and kindly! But it would not come. And she burst out: "I am not laughing. Good heavens, don't you see? It is ME you are making ridiculous." "YOU ridiculous?" he said in a momentarily choked, half-stupefied voice.
