The announcer was bellowing: "These man-killing mustangs will be ridden, broken, beaten into submission in fair fight by the greatest set of horse-breakers that ever wore spurs. They can ride anything that walks on four feet and wears a skin; they can " Werther sprang to his feet, made a funnel of his hand, and shouted: "Yi-i-i-ip!"
The oldest sailor in the watch said, as he went down, "I shall never forget that main yard; it beats all my going a fishing. Fun is fun, but furling one yard-arm of a course, at a time, off Cape Horn, is no better than man-killing." During the greater part of the next two days, the wind was pretty steady from the southward.
We should have no iron bridges built, or Atlantic cables laid, or financial companies started, and we certainly should not have any man-killing machines a million or half-a-million strong; whereas every well-conducted person knows that such things are now-a-days absolutely necessary.
I cried, recollecting the old phrase. "I was on the Emanuela that day in Mozambique Channel when the Brisk caught us with nine hundred slaves between-decks. Only she wouldn't a- caught us except for her having steam." I continued to stroll up and down beside this massive relic of the past, and to listen to his hints and muttered reminiscences of old man-killing and man-driving days.
The real reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs and rockets and torches.

Dykes, North and South, had quit the hog-killing for the man-killing business, with no other motive than the percentage, he knew; but he thought the rottenness lay lower than their hearts. Palmer stood looking down at the crowd: the poorer class of laborers, their limbs cased in shaggy blouses and green baize leggings, their faces dogged, anxious as their own oxen.
Frank hastily darted into his cabin for his magazine weapon but when he reappeared there was only a crimson circle on the water to mark where the terrible, man-killing shark had vanished with his prey. Attracted, no doubt, by the mysterious sense that tells these sea tigers where they can snap up a meal, other dark fins now began to cut through the water in all directions.
The word was spoken while he was oiling around for the man-killing extra service. "Pretty well knocked out, Michael?" asked Leckhard, by way of preface. "I am thot, Misther Leckhard. 'Tis the good half of lasht night, all day yestherday, and thin some." "It's tough. But if any of the other men were in, I should still ask you to go. Mr. Ford is in a pinch, and Mr.
Half-way across the boulevard des Capucines, to the east of the Opera, he leapt for his life from a man-killing taxi, found himself temporarily marooned upon one of those isles of safety which Paris has christened "thank-Gods," and stood waiting for an opening in the congestion of traffic to permit passage to the farther sidewalk.
You've all got it in for me, and I ain't got a chance except to give you yours. I'll take a whole lot of it out on you." Kennan was thoroughly aware of the gravity of his peril. Helpless himself, a man-killing lunatic was about to kill him and to kill him most horribly.
