Gibney announced, "has got to take a beatin' while lookin' for an openin' to put over the knockout blow. If the old Maggie holds together till we're within a cable's length o' that schooner an' we ain't all killed by that time, I bet I'll make them skunks sing soft an' low." "How?" Captain Scraggs chattered. "With muzzle bursts," Mr. Gibney replied.
The ruffian had been drinking, and Frank soon had the best of it. He ended the encounter by striking the man a regular knockout blow, and the fellow went down in a heap. When the ruffian recovered he was astonished to find Frank had not departed, but was bending over him. "How do you feel?" the boy calmly inquired. "Say, I'm all broke up!" was the feeble reply. "Are youse der feller wot done me?"
"It wasn't so much my behavior after I was wheeled home," said Philip's father mournfully, "as it was my getting so outrageously drunk on two glasses of beer. That was the final straw. Why couldn't he have made it several quarts of brandy, or even knockout drops?" "I hope you don't want an innocent child of that age to know about knockout drops!" said Clarence Rutherford, the ubiquitous.
He saw them directly they appeared on deck, which Swope did not. He raised his gun uncertainly, then lowered it, then raised it again, covering Newman's broad back and by that time I was upon him, my clutch was upon his wrist, and my right fist impacted violently against his head. It was a knockout blow, at the base of the brain, and he slumped down, unconscious.
It was administered to me without my knowledge when I was more or less stupid with liquor.... It is what is known as knockout drops, and is employed by crooks to stupefy men who are more or less intoxicated so that they may be easily robbed." He spoke now so calmly and impersonally that the girl had turned to look at him again as she listened. And now she said: "Were you robbed?"
Eph hurried below to the port stateroom. Jack lay in the lower berth, Hal in the upper. The two seamen, after feeling for pulse, stood by looking at the unconscious submarine boys. "What's been done to them?" demanded Eph. "The same old knockout drops, sir, that sailors in all parts of the world know so well, sir, I think," answered one of the men, with a quiet grin.
The lad realized now that, so far, Harris had the better of the encounter and that, if he hoped to win, it must be by a knockout. So, while Harris was trying in vain to put in a finishing punch, Jack husbanded his strength, determined to make a strong effort in the final round.
Presently it came up the incline and took on its passengers. "Drive to the Paradox Apartments," Kirby directed. He left Hull outside in the cab while he went in to interview his wife. The lean woman with the forbidding countenance opened the door. Metaphorically speaking, Kirby landed his knockout instantly. "I've come to see you on serious business, Mrs. Hull.
Peppermint is hot! Oh, get your peppermint sticks here!" Pee-wee emerged safely, if not triumphantly, from this ordeal amid much laughter, and was just congratulating himself upon his skillful handling of "the trade" in a period of acute shortage when he received a knockout blow.
Tom Slade looked straight ahead of him and said never a word. "It's it's a knockout, Slady, and you win. You can go down and tell old Uncle Jeb the whole business," he fairly sobbed, "I won't stop you. I'm sick and discouraged I might as well take my medicine I'm I'm sick of the whole thing you win Slady. I'll wait here I I won't fool you again not once again, by thunder, I won't!
