For the first time in his career as a lumber and shipping king the sly old dog realized he had been out-thought, out-played, out-gamed and man-handled by a mere pup.
"I told you he'd board us if we didn't wireless for help. Ha, ha, ha! Te-hee!" And he burst into shrill cachinnations. "I out-thought the scoundrel goin' to get a patent on my idea turn it over to the Government oh, Mike! Oh, Terence! Get the steward back aboard. We must have some liquor. They used to serve grog in the old navy after a victory, didn't they? Yi-yi-yi!"
Put that alongside of the pitiful defence which Plutarch makes of obscene rites, filthy images, foolish traditions. Who did the thinking in that ancient world? Again and again it was the Christian. He out-thought the world. The old religion crumbled and fell, beaten in thought, in morals, in life, in death.
What does it cost a man to do that? People asked what was the magic of it.

And now all motherly influence and sympathy had vanished, and Mrs.
If I may invent or adapt three words, the Christian "out-lived" the pagan, "out-died" him, and "out-thought" him.

The Corinthians were a very poor sort of Christians.
"If you asked me, I'd say we couldn't last another three hours anyway," replied Stanley with a shrug. "These fish have out-thought us!" "Nonsense! There may still be a way " "A brace of machine-guns...." I murmured hopefully. "You might as well wish for a dozen light cannon!" snapped the Professor.
