Got him patched up an’ into town; then he keeled over when he tried to git down off his hoss an’ was in bed a week." "Apaches?" "Naw, we figured it was Kitchell. Couldn’t prove it though, an’ after that th’ Old Man made a rule we take Pimas every drive. Ain’t nothin’ able to surprise them. I never had no use for Injuns, but these here are peaceful cusses—iffen they don’t smell an Apache.
I don't see how you can sleep in your hammock, knowing as you do that by making an odd number in the mess you have been the death of one poor fellow, and ruined Baldy for life, and here's poor Shenly keeled up. Blast you, and your jacket, say I." "My dear mess-mate," I cried, "don't blast me any more, for Heaven's sale.
Let me chase them," volunteered Dick. He grasped his rifle, took a quick, careless aim, and fired. A long-legged, flying cockerel keeled over and began to kick. "Gracious me!" ejaculated the woman. "Two, did you say?" asked the man behind the gun. "I said two." Again the rifle cracked. A second chicken flopped down, this one with its head shot off at the neck.
They have, however, a thick shaft worked on the stones of the jamb, and a large keeled round on the edge of the arch, and there is no dripstone. Below them is a small string-course, which is carried round the east end. The string or cornice above them is made to match that on the western portion of the aisle, but in the battlement the merlons are of merely ordinary width.
The gondola was a flat-bottomed boat, and inferior in nautical qualities speed, handiness, and seaworthiness to the galleys, which probably were keeled. The latter certainly carried sails, and may have been capable of beating to windward. Arnold preferred them, and stopped the building of gondolas. "The galleys," he wrote, "are quick moving, which will give us a great advantage in the open lake."
A minute of painful silence; then suddenly the bear staggered into view with Dick at his heels. "I've nailed him!" shouted the boy, joyfully, and another shot did the work. With a groan the bear keeled over, gave a jerk or two, and died. Nellie was in such a tremble she could scarcely descend from the tree.
He'll" But Cross-eyed Chris became past hearing, his flicker of strength had failed; he keeled over, and lay, with his limp legs curled up, faint and speechless, upon the dead evergreens. "You ain't a-going to die!" gasped Herb defiantly. "I'll be jiggered if you be, jest as I've found you! Say, boys! Cyrus! Neal! rub him a bit, will ye?
The enemy had planted a piece of ordnance within gunshot of the fort during the night, and the first thing in the morning they commenced a brisk cannonade, point blank against the spot where I was snoring. I turned out pretty smart and mounted the rampart. The gun was charged again; a fellow stepped forth to touch her off, but before he could apply the match, I let him have it, and he keeled over.
She was inviting us to a sailing-match; and it was rumoured that, when we should leave the bay, our Captain would have no objections to gratify her; for, be it known, the Neversink was accounted the fleetest keeled craft sailing under the American long-pennant. Perhaps this was the reason why the stranger challenged us.
He decided that he would make a point of bathing when she did, on the very remote chance that it might happen. "Gentle Annie! Gentle Annie! Gentle Annie!" The name rankled. Wallie pitched a pebble at another robin and accidentally hit it. Stunned for an instant, it keeled over, and Wallie glanced guiltily toward the hotel to see if by any chance Mr. Cone, who encouraged robins, was looking.
