Among them was a tall, fine-looking young fellow, evidently the leader, who was a real hunter the only one we found in the entire region. He knew instinctively where the pigs were, what they would do, and how to get them. He led us without a halt along the summit of the mountain into a ravine and up a long slope to the crest of a knifelike ridge.
At last the knifelike edge of Long Island shut them out completely, and seemed at the same instant to cut the last bonds and ties that had stretched from one to another as long as vision lasted. The men felt as released from a spell. One idea rushed into their minds suddenly and became an obsession. Fish!
Time after time she told herself that it would go unheeded by her, no matter how long or how insistently it beckoned, if by the hundredth chance it should flare up beyond the shadows, but as minutes dragged interminably by into equally interminable hours, the strained fierceness of that whispered promise grew less and less knifelike in its hardness less and less assured.
He wished his father would break the dreadful silence gathering over them; but the only sound was the stirring of the woman in the kitchen, boiling a pot of water. Allen moved and cried out in a knifelike agony, and a flicker of suffering passed over his father's face. An intolerable hour dragged out before the doctor arrived; and then David was driven from the room.
Hilmer again breaking the stillness, this time with a cool and knifelike precision as she said, turning her pale, icy eyes on Helen Starratt: "My dear, your nurse-girl days are over...We've had you a long time and we can't be too selfish now that your husband is back!"
Eva started pumping, while with her other hand she carefully paid out the air-line and signal-cord. But in their close attention to the task in hand, neither had noticed a low, knifelike launch that had followed them and that was now hovering a short distance off. Locke was now walking over the shell-strewn bottom, examining curious objects here and there.
In some manner, probably severed by a knifelike projection of rock, the loop which I had knotted around her body had been cut through, and the rope had fallen unnoticed from the waist of the weary girl! "Great God!" I cried. "Where did we lose her? What way did we come?" The questions were ridiculous.
The boys exchanged looks of fear through their face masks as the knifelike hull and conning tower of the submarine loomed gray and ghostly. Was the sub Brungarian? And what was it up to? Were the two young skin divers about to be run down or kidnaped? Or was its crew friendly? "Better not chance it," Tom decided fast. He caught Bud's eye again and motioned upward with a jerk of his thumb.
"There are fourteen shipping companies represented in this room, some of them the most respected in the Solar Alliance," he continued, his voice edged with knifelike sarcasm. "I cannot find it in my conscience to accuse all of you of complicity in this affair, but nevertheless we are faced with one of the most startling coincidences I have ever seen."
The eyes were near together and separated by the knifelike bridge of the nose, the latter descending in a fine curve of wonderfully delicate outline. The chin was pointed, and the compressed mouth showed little or nothing of the lips. On each side of his head the coarsely-shaped and prominent ears contrasted disagreeably with the fine keenness of the face.
