In another moment the "Flying Dutchman" was a speck in the distance its terrific crash suddenly reduced by distance to a low rumble. "Evenin', Jack," said Sam, as his successor or comrade on the "night-shift" entered the box, "Come along now, Gertie. We'll go and see your father. He'll be up at the station in no time, and won't take long to run back to the shed."
Here were three who apparently started out to work at night, and yet they were certainly not at all the type of night clerks or night-shift engineers or mechanics. He turned over the hand of the man he had struck down. The palm was as soft as his own. No, certainly not a laborer. But they were all employed by "the old man." Who was he?
"I'll take the check," he said thickly in a voice that shook with emotion. It was some time later when the business of the day came to a satisfactory close. Winfield & Camby's representative had departed with his signed contract which McCoy had designated as a "gilt-edge proposition." The fish were all unloaded and the night-shift had already started to work on them.
Across the lake, a mile above a roaring torrent, they located a patch of spruce and built their saw-pit. Here, by hand, with an inadequate whipsaw, they sawed the spruce- trunks into lumber. They worked night and day. Thrice, on the night-shift, underneath in the saw-pit, Old Tarwater fainted.
The egret, the night heron, the vampire here were three types of organisms, characterizing the actions and reactions in nature. The islands were receiving and giving up.

Mary, however, stood still, shook her head, and replied, still weeping though less violently: "No, no.
"Have you seen anything of our Sammul?" These words were addressed in a very excited voice to a tall rough-looking collier, who, with Davy-lamp in hand, was dressed ready for the night-shift in the Bank Pit of the Langhurst Colliery. Langhurst was a populous village in the south of Lancashire.
Under cover of the playing, while Sir Francis was reading a novel of turf life, Olive whispered: "Can't we have a few moments together by ourselves?" "I'll arrange it," answered Larssen. "How?" "Suppose we drop your father at the Cabaret while we go on to see my offices?" "Offices at night-time!" she exclaimed. "My staff work all night there I have a night-shift as well as a day-shift.
