Henry cut the rope with one sweep of his long-bladed hunting-knife, and then he and Shif'less Sol sprang into the boat. Each seized a man by the shoulders and lifted him in his powerful arms.
If a pipe is wanted the Dyak will in a wonderfully short space of time make a huge hubble-bubble out of bamboos of different sizes, and if his long-bladed knife requires a sheath the same gigantic grass supplies one almost ready-made.
In case of missing, he has still his bear-spear and a long-bladed knife to fall back upon; and with these he defends himself as well as he can though not unfrequently Bruin proves the victor, and the hunter the victim. There are certain times when the Siberian bears become exceedingly dangerous to approach.
It is seventy miles long. It comes in over the boat's bow, passes around a drum, and is payed out astern. She pulls on that chain, and so drags herself up the river or down it. She has neither bow or stern, strictly speaking, for she has a long-bladed rudder on each end and she never turns around.
But my great pike proving over-cumbersome, I cast it away that I might go the faster, trusting rather to my five arrows and the long-bladed knife in my girdle, and the thought of this knife and its deadly work at close quarters heartened me mightily as I ran; yet in a while, the passion of my anger subsiding, grief took its place again and a hopeless desolation beyond words.
The lock had been wetted in the snow-trap. It was a flint lock, and the priming had got damped. The failure only increased the fury of the animal; and a charge of swan-shot, which Ivan at the same instant fired from his second barrel, still further irritated him. Pouchskin drew his long-bladed knife.
They then march through the jungle to the place where they expect to find a group of camphor trees, marking their path by bending the ends of twigs at certain intervals in the direction in which the party is moving. Having found a likely tree they cut into the stem with a small long-bladed axe, making a deep small hole.
She came beside him. "It means something besides war. I can see it in his face. Pain sorrow, Anthony, but not a wish for fightin'." From the left side of his cartridge belt a stout-handled, long-bladed hunting-knife was suspended. He disengaged the belt and tossed it to the floor. Still he paused. "If I go, I'll break the truce, Sally."
When he was half up the man nearest him, another of my fellow-slaves, an assistant colt-wrangler, apparently the man who had tripped him, dealt him a smashing blow on the ear with his clenched fist and felled him again. As he went down I saw that he had a long-bladed, keen-edged, gleaming dagger in his right hand. It flew from his grasp as he plowed up the ground with his face.
Rome lowered his gun to the hollow of his arm, and the two young leaders faced each other for the first time in the life of either. "Seem kinder s'prised to see me," said the Stetson, grimly. "Hev ye got a pistol?" Young Jasper glared at him in helpless ferocity. "Naw!" "Knife?" He drew a long-bladed penknife from his pocket, and tossed it at Rome's feet. "Jes' move over thar, will ye?"
