The boat proved to be a cumbersome flat-boat of the type used by clam-fishers. In fact the smell that simply swirled up from its oozy bottom left no doubt that the boat had been used for that purpose. A pair of unbelievably heavy oars, cut from a sapling with a hand-axe, trailed in the water from "loose oarlocks." Dave gave a gasp of dismay as he "hefted" the rough implements.
He picked up a huge boulder and hefted it in his arms. "We can stand them off all day by tumbling rocks down on them." "And kill innocent people who don't know what they're doing?" asked Tom. "No put it down, Astro!" "All right, brains!" snapped Roger. "What have you got to suggest?" "There's only one thing we can do!" said Tom. "Down on the side of the hill here I noticed a small cave.
He stooped over and hefted them. Then he passed one over to me. "What's that for?" I asks. "For you," says he. "My commission ain't that much," I objects. "You've earned it," says he, "and you might have skipped with the whole wad." "How did you know I wouldn't?" I asks. "Well," says he, and I noted that jag of his had flew. "You see, I was behind that rock up there, and I had you covered."
Shorty drew a spoon from his haversack and filled it level full. "It's certainly boss licker," said Groundhog, after he had drunk it, and prudently hefted the canteen to see if it was full. "I'll take your offer. You're to have just one swig out o' it, and no more, and not a hog-swaller neither. I know you. You'd drink that hull canteenful at one gulp, if you had to.
The good woman, who "loved" money too well to spend much of it, hefted the satchel. Gracious! There must be a big lot of the valuable stuff. But the satchel was locked. Mrs. Cantwell promptly hunted until she found another satchel key that fitted. Then she opened the bag, staring at the contents with big eyes. "What on earth can my husband have been doing?" she wondered.
The balance of the camp, save the sentries, had retired none would enter the Belgian's tent. He fingered the pouch, feeling out the shapes and sizes of the precious, little nodules within. He hefted the bag, first in one palm, then in the other, and at last he wheeled his chair slowly around before the table, and in the rays of his small lamp let the glittering gems roll out upon the rough wood.
"Let us be going," said Havelok to the steward on that. "One would think that none of these had ever hefted a fair load in his life, to listen to them." So he nodded to me across the heads of the crowd, and followed Berthun, and the idlers followed him for a little. The guard turned these back at the gate, and Havelok went through, and I could see him no more.
"I declare," said the Deacon dubiously, as he hefted the carpetsack. "It's goin' to be a job to lug that thing back home. Better hire a mule-team. But I'll try it. Mebbe it'll help work some o' the stupidity out o' Abraham Lincoln." The whole of Co.
As he traveled he reviewed, mentally, his armament the condition of his hunting knife, the number of his arrows, the newness of the gut which strung his bow he hefted the war spear which had once been the pride of some black warrior of Mbonga's tribe. If he met God, Tarzan would be prepared.
"He said it as easy as if he was passin' the morning with Ferguson, but I seen that it was the last straw with Sandy. He hefted out both guns and trained 'em on the greenhorn. "I yelled: 'Sandy, for God's sake, don't be killin' a tenderfoot! "'If whisky will kill him he's goin' to die, says Sandy. 'Flanders, pour out a drink of rye for this gent.
