I saw many poor fellows removed to the 'death-room, and saw them no more afterward. But I saw our chief mate carried thither more than once. His hurts were frightful, especially his scalds. He was clothed in linseed oil and raw cotton to his waist, and resembled nothing human. He was often out of his mind; and then his pains would make him rave and shout and sometimes shriek.
I closed the door of the old life against my return with my own hands, and you don't gain distinction, as the Challoners think of it, in business." "What business have you gone into?" Blake's eyes gleamed humorously. "At present I'm in the paint line." "Paint!" Mrs. Keith exclaimed. "Yes, but not common paint. We use the highest grade of lead and the purest linseed oil.
The expedition was well fitted out and all its details had been carefully planned before they left England. Friends already in the colonies had written offering suggestions: "Bring good store of clothes and bedding with you; bring paper and linseed oil for your windows, with cotton yarn for your lamps."
There are many "favorite prescriptions" for grafting wax. One which is now being largely used in fruit tree grafting is as follows: Resin, 5 lbs.; beeswax, 1 lb.; linseed oil, 1 pint; flour, 1 pint.

A strong odour of turpentine and fixative was in the air, mingled with the stronger odours of linseed oil and sour, stale French bread. Every afternoon a portrait class of some thirty-odd assembled in one of the larger alcoves near the door.
There was that advertisement, you remember that about the five-pound bill in the paper, Daddy Angel?" "Ay, ay, Master Chuter," said Daddy Angel; "after the big storm, five year ago. Sartinly, Master Chuter." "Was it ever found, do ye think?" said Master Linseed, the painter and decorator.
Use the following liquid. Put into a pint of cold-drawn linseed oil, four pennyworth of alkanet root, and two pennyworth of rose pink. Let it remain all night in an earthen vessel, then stirring it well, rub some of it all over the mahogany with a linen rag; and when it has lain some time, rub it bright with linen cloths.
