But here I ought to say that no man can be flexible without a good degree of strength. It is not, however, the kind of strength involved in heavy-lifting. Heenan is a very strong man, can strike a blow twice as hard as Windship, but cannot lift seven hundred pounds nor put up a ninety-pound dumb-bell.
"Here, massa! here, Capting, is de berry heart of de fire!" and laying it carefully in the bowl of his pipe "dat, sar, will keep yer terbacker gwine all day." "Thank you, marm Juno! We shall try and bring you home some fish for dinner. A ninety-pound halibut, eh?" The Captain having performed that operation so very necessary to his comfort, we all sallied forth for the long-anticipated sail.
"If you're afraid to run, say so, and we'll get a man that isn't," Halkett had said; and here was Dixon coming down a borrowed track in a busy yard at the speed which presupposes a ninety-pound rail and nothing in the way. The conclave had gathered at the wiper's window. "The dum fool!" said Brodrick. "If anything gets in front of him "
On July 4, nearly two months from the time of leaving the fort on the Peace river, the portage on the Blackwater was reached; the canoe was abandoned, some provisions were cached, and each man set off afoot with a ninety-pound pack on his back. Heavy mist lay on the thick forest. The Indian trail was but a dimly defined track over forest mould.
A big ninety-pound greyhound or Scotch deer-hound is a very formidable fighting dog; I saw one whip a big mastiff in short order, his wonderful agility being of more account than his adversary's superior weight. The proper way to course, however, is to take the dogs out in a wagon and drive them thus until the game is seen. This prevents their being tired out.
I believe that spur is useless to Pennington, and the ninety-pound rails are rusting there." "But will he sell them to me?" "Not if you tell him why you want them." "But he hates me, old pal." "The Colonel never permits sentiment to interfere with business, my son. He doesn't need the rails, and he does desire your money. Consider the rail-problem settled."
That will be something, I think. September 13th. To-morrow is the last time I shall ever go into that hellish place! To-morrow is the last time in all my life that I shall ever have to say, "We have this same quality in ninety-pound paper at four sixty-nine!" Throughout all this thing it seemed to me that when I came out I should no longer have a soul.
After building a scaffold, on which the canoes and some provisions were placed and covered with underbrush and moss, the party, on June 11, began their tramp down the river-bank. Each man carried on his back a ninety-pound pack, supported by a strap across the forehead.
Then they carried up the provisions in ninety-pound bundles. By nightfall of the first day they had advanced but one mile. Next morning the journey was continued; the progress was exactly three miles the second day, and the men fell in their tracks with exhaustion, and slept that night where they lay.
Mark Stratton, the father of Gene Stratton-Porter, described his wife, at the time of their marriage, as a "ninety-pound bit of pink porcelain, pink as a wild rose, plump as a partridge, having a big rope of bright brown hair, never ill a day in her life, and bearing the loveliest name ever given a woman Mary."
