Got him? Hang on!" It is a wood-chopper. This yawl is like a wild animal. It springs upward, it rolls, it flounders. It is like a wild bronco newly haltered. How can these many heads hope to get upon so spirited a steed? See it leap backward and on end! Now up, now sidewise, now vertically! But the swimmers are also the sport of the waves. They, too, are thrown far aloft. They, too, sink deeply.
To make the best of the situation, we unloaded the baggage, distributing and adjusting the trunks, rolls of bedding, crackerboxes, and everything else that would stop a bullet, in such manner as to form a square barricade, two sides of which were the wagons, with the mules haltered to the wheels.
His heart sunk at once from the ardor of hope to the lowest pit of despair, and he was again haltered and driven into captivity like an ox to the slaughter. On the second day he arrived at Waughcotomoco. Here he was again compelled to run the gauntlet, in which he was severely hurt.
He was led to the rear, and securely haltered to a young cedar. The incident served a purpose in distracting for awhile the attention of the regiment. The noise in front and to the right swept farther away for a little while, and the men's hearts rose with a cheer. "Now the reinforcements are getting in. Why in the world don't they send us forward?" they said.
'Ask the pawters at Gloster, why your goods is spiled it's not the fust time they've been asked the question. Git the gage haltered aginst the nex time you send for MEDSAN and meanwild buy some at the "Plow" they keep it very good and strong there, I'll be bound. Has for us, WE'RE a going back to the cussid station at Gloster, in such of our blessid child.
The little party scarcely heard the guide. Jim had gone on up the bank. They could hear him whistling and chirping to the missing horses to call them to him. Then they caught the sound of a whinny and a moment later another. The animals had heard and recognized their master. Jim captured and haltered them with the ropes that he had brought from the carry-all for the purpose.
He was haltered and he would carry Bull bareback. The saddle was quite another affair. So Bull returned to the idea of the barley sack, with gradual additions. On each side of the sack he attached hanging straps. Diablo snorted at these and tried them with his teeth. They reminded him vaguely of the swinging stirrups that had so often battered his tender sides.
The horses were ranged in rows, in the courtyard, haltered to ropes stretched across it; and an ample supply of food was given to each. Some of the oxen that had done such good service were cut up, and were soon roasting over great fires; while the women spread straw thickly, in the largest apartments, for the newcomers to sleep on. "Where are the Catholics?" the Admiral asked.
Vauntingly Farmer Perkins told how he had haltered the vicious colt. He was unconscious that a pair of ripe gooseberry eyes turned black with hate, that behind his broad back was shaken a futile fist. The harness-breaking of Blue Blazes was conducted on much the same plan as his halter-taming, except that during the process he learned to use his heels.
'Well, if we're all wrong, said Crass, with a sneer, 'praps you can tell us what the real cause is? 'An' praps you think you know how it's to be altered, remarked Harlow, winking at the others. 'Yes; I do think I know the cause, declared Owen, 'and I do think I know how it could be altered 'It can't never be haltered, interrupted old Linden. 'I don't see no sense in all this 'ere talk.
