The Captain met the look, and crying savagely, 'Answer will you, you mule! struck the half-swooning miserable across the back with his switch. The effect was magical. Covered, as his shoulders were, the man sprang erect with a shriek of pain, raising his chin, and hollowing his back; and in that attitude stood an instant with starting eyes, gasping for breath.
If this is granted, we have but to consider the mountains as formed by the hollowing out of the valleys, and the valleys as hollowed out by the attrition of hard materials coming from the mountains.
Arrived here, she sought with assured footsteps a certain zig-zag way it could hardly be called a path which wound in and out among the bowlders, skipping some, leaping others, trenching on the edges of little pools left in some rocky hollow by the high tide, and finally led her, after a last steep scramble, into a niche of the sea's own hollowing, which she had always claimed as her own.
We have but to consider, that the attrition of those transported materials must have been as necessary for the hollowing out of those gaps in the solid rock of the obstructing mountains, as the opening of those gaps may have been for the transporting of those materials to the sea.
On the top of the first hill where our guns were the big dazzling plummets show a line of bustling excitement. One hears the noises of picks and of mallet blows. They have stopped their advance and are consolidating there. They are hollowing their trenches and planting their network of wire which will have to be taken again some day.
In this way the stone was hollowed though the hollowing had not been made visible to the naked eye of Mr. Smirkie. He was a man whose conscience did not easily let him rest when he believed that a duty was incumbent on him. It was his duty now, he thought, not to bid her go, not to advise her to go, but to put before her what reasons there might be for her going.
"Afraid not, old boy," he answered after a few moments' deliberation. "Bit of a job hollowing out a tree. All the same, you're quite right. It would make a great O.P." "Why not make another down in your yard, and put it up instead?" The Brigadier joined in the discussion. "We must have better observation in this sector if we possibly can."
For the Governor of Porto Santo had told him of strange things that had been washed on shore when the wind had blown for many days from the west of a cane so thick through that it would hold a gallon of wine, of a piece of wood carved in a manner that never had been seen before, and once of a canoe, which had been made by hollowing out a giant tree, in which were the dead bodies of two strange men such as the European world had never seen, yellow in color with flat, broad faces.
Again betaking myself to my work, and toiling without cessation, on the 23rd of August I saw it finished. This delay was caused by an inevitable accident. As I was hollowing out the last plank, I put my eye to a little hole, through which I ought to have seen the hall of the Inquisitors-in fact, I did see it, but I saw also at one side of the hole a surface about eight inches thick.
Instead of hollowing the burrow first and then setting out on the chase to fill it, it does not devote itself to the labour of digging until a successful expedition has already assured the victim. The struggle is no doubt more difficult, but the result is proportionately greater, and the pursuit does not need to be so often renewed; a single captive is sufficient for its larva.
