However, when there was a particularly big wash-up on the beach of stray timber logs from some of the booms travelling along the coast, both Jake and I had to knuckle down with a will and an energy in order to push them off with the next out-going tide so as to prevent them jamming and piling on our tidy, clear and well-kept foreshore.
Every accidental noise that occurred filled him with unutterable horror. The door, being clumsily made, fitted badly in all its parts, so that it shook and rattled in a perfectly heartrending manner. Teddy resolved to cure this. He stuck bits of wood in the opening between it and the floor, besides jamming several nails in at the sides and top.
She threw her match into the fire and came to him, sat down beside him and, like the Nan of a hundred years ago, her childhood and his youth, put her head down on his shoulder. "Nan," said he, abandoning what he sometimes considered the heavy father attitude and jamming the silky head down into its hollow, "what did you do it for? Didn't you like my house?"
Most fortunately the shutters held or the whole flat would have been completely wrecked. It took all our combined efforts some time to force back the door and securely-fasten it by jamming a music stool and chairs up against it.
I'm only the hired man around here anyhow," snapped the showman, jamming his hat down over his head and striding away, followed by the merry laughter of Little Dimples. "Bareback riders out!" shouted the callboy, poking his head into the dressing tent.
The Wolf sought the most crowded side and mingled with the throngs. In the meantime Porky and Beany, having secured their much-wished-for gum, a hard task on account of a penny jamming in the slot, turned to join their friend. "Where's old Asa? I bet he's having a fit," said Beany, chewing comfortably. "Look! Look!" said Beany suddenly, grasping his brother by the arm. "There at the door!"
It was observed that whenever, in these removals, there were much jamming and squeezing and contentions for places, it gave this man pleasure; but that the ease and comfort of the prisoners gave him pain. The united opinion of the prisoners was, that he was a very bad hearted man.
Instead, there was a loud bang, followed by another, and then another. And only then did the ship begin to leave the ground, gradually picking up speed and shooting spaceward. "What was wrong?" asked Tom, looking at Sid. "The feeders," replied the young engineer miserably. "They're not functioning properly. They're probably jamming." Astro looked puzzled.
The man raised his hand and the machinery was suddenly stilled. "So I perceive," said he. "Your boom-piles are drove too far out in the stream." "I don't know about that," objected the mossback. "I do," insisted Larsen. "Nobody on earth could keep from jamming, the way you got things fixed." "That's none of my business," said the man steadily.
"I invite you all," cried Leidesdorff, waving his hands and almost dancing in his eagerness. "Every man-jack of you in all Yerba Buena." "How about the ladies, Leidesdorff?" called out a sailor. "Ah, forgive me, Senora, Senorita!" cried the Dane remorsefully. He swept off his wide-brimmed hat with an effort, for he had a fashion of jamming it very tightly upon his head.
