Its jointed body, slightly longer than Grôm's arm, was nearly as thick as his wrist, and ended at the tail with a formidable double claw. Its six legs, arranged in three pairs under the thorax, were armed on the inner sides with powerful spines, needle-pointed and steel hard, with which to grip and hold its victims.
Then he tottered sideways, tumbling to the floor of the porch. The younger man without hesitation drove a needle-pointed creese three times into his ruler's breast. Withdrawing the knife, the sword-bearer then killed himself. "Charge, Lieutenant Prescott!" called Captain Freeman. "Charge!" repeated the lieutenant.
They were oriented point-forward by the magnetic field along the barrel of the weapon. Of the hundreds in each charge fired, only a few penetrated the spacesuits of the targets, but those few were enough. The powerful drug in the needle-pointed head of each went into the bloodstream of the target. Each man felt an itching sensation.
The extreme point of the close defile was reached at last, and here the landscape opened up wide, rocky and desolate a weird picture, with the heavy clouds above repeatedly stabbed through and through by the needle-pointed beams of the aurora borealis, and the blank whiteness of the ground below.
The third great picture in this group is that of Paul and his needle-pointed thorn. Talks about the certainty of prayer being answered are very apt to bring this question: "What about Paul's thorn?" Sometimes asked by earnest hearts puzzled; sometimes with a look in the eye almost exultant as though of gladness for that thorn because it seems to help out a theory.
Just get a position as guard to a lake of brimstone in the infernal regions." Hough laughed, but Sidwell did not. "I fancy," he continued monotonously, "I see you now, a long needle-pointed spear in your hands, jabbing back the poor sinners who tried to crawl out." "Chad!" interrupted the other reproachfully. "Chad!" But Sidwell did not stop.
He watched the man approach Big Bob. The bear snarled, made a stand, and showed his teeth. One punch of the needle-pointed device across his nostrils sent him bellowing. A second on one ear brought him to the floor. The trainer pounced on him and adjusted the muzzle over his head. Then he deftly whipped some hobbles on his front paws. He yelled to his assistants.
Eastward he rode through tall mesquite thickets, over rolling hills where clumps of bear-grass grew among spiked yuccas and needle-pointed tufts of Spanish bayonet, and climbed the pass beyond. From its summit he looked down upon the wide reaches of the Sulphur Springs valley, level as a floor, as tawny as a lion's skin. Then he descended from the sky-lined pinnacles of granite to the plain.
The gigantic block upon which we rode quivered; I myself felt a thousand needle-pointed roving arrows prick me, urging me on to some jubilant, reckless orgy of destruction. Obeying that summoning there swirled to us cube and globe and pyramid by the score by the hundreds. They swept into our wake and followed lifting up behind us, an ever-rising sea.
I cried, and stooping down in spite of the jostling bodies and clammy hands that tried to prevent us, I caught up one of the long, needle-pointed, heavy stalactites. As I shoved it at him and snatched another for myself, Captain Crane and the others armed themselves.
