He said there was champagne an' he said there was hop," Casey stated flatly. "I wondered at his letting go of stuff as valuable as that," said Nolan. "I think we'd better take a look at those kegs." They went into the cellar and took a look at the kegs. Both kegs. Afterward they stood and looked at each other. Casey's hands went to his hips, and the muscles along his jaw hardened into lumps.
"Pardon, Chief," answered Otter, "but I am a small man and the keg is heavy for me alone if you will deign to help me, for the old woman is too weak." "Do you take me for a porter that I should roll kegs of cognac up steps? Here, my friend," he went on addressing the sentry, "if you wish to earn a little present and a drink, perhaps you will give this fellow a hand with the cask.
I slept well until a mule stepped on my bed, which was conducive to restlessness. At dawn, cold, gray clouds tried to blot out the rosy east. I could hardly get up. My lips were cracked; my tongue swollen to twice its natural size; my eyes smarted and burned. The barrels and kegs of water were exhausted.
"What do the English always? you have robbed me!" said Colannah, the light strong on his fierce indignant features, his garb of fringed buckskin, his many rich strings of the ivory-like roanoke about his neck, his gayly bedecked and feathered head, and in shadowy wise revealing the rough walls of the cave, the boxes and bales of goods, the reserve stock, as it were, the stands of arms, and the kegs and bags of powder.

I am not interested in how many kegs of nails and iron bolts and washers went into its anatomy. They add nothing to the artistic enjoyment of this very massive building.
Oi war a-going to knock off when some one says as one more trip would finish the cargo, so down oi goes again: Just when oi gets to t' bottom there war a great shouting oop at top. "'They're just too late, a man says; 'the kegs be all safe away except this lot, for the horses and carts had gone off the instant as they got their loads.

There was bloodshed afterwards from Dan's nose and his account was closed. After a while some policemen in plain clothes came along and examined the dray. They found fourteen kegs of rum in it, which they seized, together with four horses and the dray.
The heat was terrific, and the back of my neck was scorching as the second and third kegs were handed out. "Last," shouted Morgan, with a wild cry of thankfulness. "Look again," said my father. "Stand fast all."
