His heels caught on the Blackbird's bulwark and he pitched backward head-first into the hold of his own boat. MacRae picked up the salmon and flung them one by one after the man, with no great haste, but with little care where they fell, for one or two spattered against the fellow's face as he clawed up out of his own hold. There was a smear of red on his lips. "Oh!
The end came with a suddenness of which Larrabie had but an instant's warning in the swift flare of joy that lit the madman's face. His foot, searching for a brace as he was borne back, found only empty space. Plunged downward, the nester clung viselike to the man above, dragged him after, and by the very fury of Irwin's assault flung him far out into the gulf head-first.
He laughed and waved his arms about to signify enormous vitality. Sharlee asked if he had been able to make a start yet with his new work. "You might say," he replied, "that I dived head-first into it from the steamer." He launched out into eager talk about his hopes for Blames College. In all his wide circle of friends, he knew no one who made so sympathetic and intelligent a listener as she.
"There has been an attempt upon your house," said I, still spokesman for the night, and still on the wings of inspiration. "Your sons " "My pupils." "Indeed. Well, they heard it, drove off the thieves, and have given chase." "And where do you come in?" inquired the stout man, descending.

Gates, never happier than when standing beneath stretched canvas, hove-to as he saw us dash stark naked up the companionway stairs and clear the rail head-first, but he laid by only while we had our splash and continued the course southward the moment our hands grasped the gangway.

"Pass him on there," some one called, and I was accordingly passed on in rather a lively way to another party of skirmishers, who in turn, after buffeting me up and down a bit among themselves, passed me on to another group, and so on, till, with back and limbs and head all rather the worse for wear, I had performed the tour of the room and found myself finally pitched head-first into the embrace of the lordly youth who that morning had condescended to point out to me the way to Hawk Street.
"He's into the next garden," I cried to a bevy of pyjamas with bare feet and young faces at either end of them. "Who? Who?" said they, giving way before me. "Some fellow who came through one of your windows head-first." "The other Johnny, the other Johnny," the cherubs chorused. "Biking past saw the light why, what have you there?"
Turning their bodies into weights, they drew it more and more over, till it was so low that the lieutenant bade one man climb up and reach over to get hold of the side. This was done again and again, but only for the weight to disturb the equilibrium, and send it back, the man in each case going right over with it, to be plunged in, head-first, on the other side.
But there was the fresh smell of loam and moss and aromatic leaves, the music of the Lisse on the pebbles, the joyous chorus of feathered creatures from every thicket, and there were the antics of the giddy young rabbits that scuttled through the warrens, leaping, tumbling, sitting up, lop-eared and impudent, or diving head-first into their burrows.
