Pitching my gun up to my shoulder, both barrels loaded with Eley's red wire cartridge No. 6, I gave him a snap shot, and had the satisfaction of seeing him keeled well over, not wing-tipped or leg-broken, but fairly riddled by the concentrated charge of something within thirty yards.
"You don't understand the Lady Allegra " Well, I suppose I must have fainted from sheer inanition, and so Indiman explained it himself that next morning. "You had been half starved for over a week, and no wonder you keeled over. No; you can't have another mouthful of that beef-steak. You'll have to wait for luncheon." I sank back among the cushions of the couch rather resentfully.
Its short head possesses lizard-like jaws, all of which bear teeth; its wings comprise five clawed digits; its tail is composed of a long series of joints or vertebræ, bearing large feathers in pairs; its breastbone is flat and like a plate, thus resembling that of reptiles and differing markedly from the great keeled breastbone of modern flying birds, whose large muscles have necessitated the development of the keel for purposes of firm attachment.
Stifled alive for "fear I should get cold;" trotted up and down when there was a great pin sticking into my shoulder and held so close to the candle to be looked at, that I came near being blind as a mole. It's a wonder to me that I am here now, writing this juvenile book; if I hadn't been a baby of spirit, I should have keeled over, and died of sheer torment long before I got into short clothes.
Then he keeled over on the couch mother keeps for her in the dining-room, and sobbed until he looked like he'd come apart. Of course all of us knew exactly what that letter was from the way he acted.
"I war jest a-countin' ob dem jailbirds, an' had 'rived at 'leven w'en a 'streperous root she keeled me ober. W'en I gits up agin dey had gone. Den I heard Marse Frank a-callin' me to come back," went on Toby, glibly. The boys looked at each other and smiled.
Then again on the day of launching, after the vessel has been keeled over, and the bottom carefully greased from stem to stern, more presents from owners and captains to the workmen, to say nothing of a hearty dinner; and a great straining and shoving of brawny arms and bare backs, a shout of Allahu Akbar, "God is Most Great," as the sheep is slaughtered over the vessel's prow a symbol, they said, of the Christian blood to be shed and the galleot glides into the water prepared for her career of devastation: built by Christians and manned by Christians, commanded probably by a quondam Christian, she sallies forth to prey upon Christendom.
"Turk, if she dies, I swear to God I'll kill myself this night!" cried he. "You're talkin' crazy, sir. She's comin' around all right, all right. Hear that? Her eyes'll be busy in a minute, and she'll be askin' where she's at. Just keeled over, that's all. All women does that w'en they git's as glad as she wuz. They faint 'cause it's easier'n it is to tell how much obliged they are. I know 'em.
They smoked-all day, balancing themselves on the weather-side to steadv the boats as they keeled over into the heavy seas. I think they would have-given even Mr. Riel that day a pipeful of tobacco; but Heaven help him if they: had caught him two days later on the portages of the Winnipeg! he would have had a hard time of it.
Its bays are square, and the groin ribs consist each of three round mouldings, of which the most prominent is 'keeled'; but what is most remarkable is that there are also ridge-ribs, which are not usually found before the thirteenth century, and it has been suggested that this is the earliest instance of their employment.
