On went Quib, and even Abe Selover could not see him more than half the time, for he had an immense deal of dodging to do, in and out among the rocks and trees, and it was dreadfully shady at the bottom of that ravine. The walls of rock, where Abe was, rose more than sixty feet high on either side, and the glen was only a few rods wide at the widest place. "He's holed him! He's holed him!
Her utmost pace was nine knots, but, as eight was more economical for coal consumption, it was at that speed she moved. The wreck of the Grecian was out of the usual steam lane. She had, it appeared, got off her course in a fog, had run foul of a half-ebb reef which holed her in two compartments, and then been steered for the shore in the wild attempt to beach her before she sank.
They had dreamed of such a happening so often and woke to find the vision false, that at first they could not believe that the thing had actually occurred. "I got over!" whispered James, in an awed voice. "So did I!" muttered Peter. "In one!" "With my very first!" They walked in silence round the edge of the lake, and holed out. One putt was enough for each, and they halved the hole with a two.
He didn't look too comfortable. And I'll bet he's hungry." He took the direct route back to the marsh, but this time no thread of smoke spiraled into the air. Ross hesitated. That shelter on the small island was surely the place where McNeil had holed up. Should he try to work his way out to it now? Or had something happened to the man while he was gone?
"Probably the same way we would have, had we not holed up on that river island." Driven! Perhaps the lone human on Jumala herded up into this dead-end valley by the globes or the blue beasts. "This process must have been in action for some time." "Why?" "I can give you two reasons." Hume studied the nearest trees narrowly.
Then suddenly, perhaps a foot from his head, there sounded a rip of metal. The wall was being holed from the other side! Ross caught a flicker of very weak light, and moving in it was the point of a tool pulling at the smooth surface of the wall. It broke away with a brittle sound, and a hand holding a light reached through the aperture.
Cavendish knew that Mr Brown, the chief officer, was up here somewhere, and he presently found him and briefly reported what had happened down on the main deck. "Good!" returned Brown. "But go back and guard the head of the ladder leading from the main to the promenade deck. We're holed in nearly every compartment, and the leaks are gaining upon us in spite of the steam pumps.
Whipple holed out on his next try, adopting a wooden putter this time, and the score stood fifteen strokes each. The honor was West's, and he led off for End Hole with a beautiful brassie drive that cleared the first two bunkers with room to spare.
"Maybe it's the visit of Weber that makes me feel that way, recalling to me that I was once a man, a civilized human being who bathed regularly and who put on clean clothes at frequent intervals." "Such days may come again for some of us." "So they may. But it's ghastly here, holed up like animals for the winter." "Comparison not fair to animals. They choose snug dens.
B'ars an' catamounts, how them clouds are a-trottin' 'cross the sky! Here come the fust flakes an' they look ez big ez feathers!" The colonel's anxiety deepened, turning rapidly to alarm. "You spoke of our being holed up, Mr. Reed, what did you mean by it?" he asked. "Shet in by the snow. But I know a place, colonel, that we kin reach, an' whar we kin stay ef the snow gits too deep fur us.
