The Brooklyn, further away from shore, changed her course so as to follow a parallel direction, and, as soon as she attained a fair range, opened a tremendous and well directed fire. The Texas, whose course was somewhat diagonal, singled out the Vizcaya, and, unable to outspeed her, pounded her savagely with her shells.
I cried. "By all means!" he answered. "Mount, and ride him home." The horse bent his head over my shoulder lovingly. I twisted my hands in his mane and scrambled onto his back, not without aid from certain protuberant bones. "He would outspeed any leopard in creation!" I cried. "Not that way at night," answered the raven; "the road is difficult. But come; loss now will be gain then!
Evil, when confessed and repented of, is forgotten; bend thy head, my son, and let me crown thee. The premium is twice deserved and twice due."

The hull vibrated under the force of the engines taxed to their utmost.
This object kept him true, made him able to discover the very laws of discovery; brought him so far into rapport with the heart of nature herself, that, like a physical prophet, his seeing could outspeed his knowing, and behold a law dimly, it is true, but yet behold it long before his intellect, which had to build bridges and find straw to make the bricks, could dare to affirm its approach to the same conclusion.
