Recognising promptly what the trouble is, the energetic Captain grabs up a broom, ties a light cord belonging to the leadline to it, and holding the broom by the end of its handle, swings it round his head and hurls it at the canoe.
And ere the echoes die out another breath comes down from the hilltop, a breath less patient; angry with a biting fierceness which speaks of patience exhausted and a spirit of retaliation. It catches up the loose snow as it comes and hurls it defiantly at every obstruction with the viciousness of an exasperated woman.
To be within sight of it was enough. But this fear this horror of impending retribution did not make me hesitate or delay my advance a single instant. Everything depended upon my being one of the crowd when the first alarm was raised. So with the daring of one who in escaping a present danger hurls himself knowingly into another equally perilous, I pushed open the door and entered the office.
My head a'n't a soft un, I suppose; but when a lunatic chap hurls at it with all his might a barrow-load of crockery at once, it's little wonder that my right eye flinched a minute, and that my right hand rubbed my right eye; and so he freed himself, and got clear off.
Petersburg, and there, after some vicissitudes of fortune, Morok became one of the imperial couriers these iron automata, that the least caprice of the despot hurls in a frail sledge through the immensity of the empire, from Persia to the Frozen Sea.
"It ain't no time before Colonel Sterett an' the Red Dog editor takes to cirklin' for trouble, an' the frightful names they applies to each other in their respectif journals, an' the accoosations an' them epithets they hurls, would shore curdle the blood of a grizzly b'ar.
The vast supplies which it sends forth daily must be compensated, or else it would soon expend itself, and our world would go to ruin. Nature, therefore, hurls millions of meteors every second into the sun's fiery furnace to keep up the supply of heat and light. The wife is the sun of the household.
The train emits telegrams as it hurls itself forward: "the Gryphon is well: he is in the presence of his Future: History watches him: he is drinking a peg: the Civil and Military Gazette has caught a glimpse of him: glory, glory, glory, to the Gryphon, the mock turtle is his wash-pot, over Lyall will he cast his shoe." Earthquakes are felt all along the line from Peshawar to Kabul.
The Huron, when taken prisoner, hurls insults and threats at his conqueror, that is the heroism of the savage; the martyr prays for his executioners, and is willing to receive from them his life, that is the heroism of the Christian. Why has the apostle of love become an apostle of anger and revenge?
The high wind sweeping along the plain, drives the snow into high heaps, and often hurls the poor animals into a cold grave. Sledges cannot be used, because they cannot slide on such uneven ground.
