"If we are to fight this Heidrek," the earl said doubtfully, "you will want us all. We are not over-manned." Nor were they. The ship pulled five-and-thirty oars a side, but had no more than two men to each, instead of the full fighting number, which should be three one to row, one to shield the rower, and one to fight or relieve.
The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents' beds, unerringly I rush! Naught's an obstacle, naught's an angle to the iron way! Dusk By the Mainmast; Starbuck leaning against it. My soul is more than matched; she's over-manned; and by a madman!
I'd glory to do a bit of work for 'e aye, I would so, high or low; an' do it in a way to make you rub your eyes!" Billy saw the first-formed negative die still-born on his master's lips. He began to cry out volubly that Monks Barton was over-manned, and that scandal would blast every opening bud on the farm if such a thing happened. Will glared at him, and in another moment Mr.
The president was fingering his thin beard and waving an arm toward the track-layers. "Mr. ah Ford," he began critically, "is it necessary to have such a vast army of men as that to lay the track?" "I don't think we are over-manned," said Ford good-naturedly. It was comparatively easy to be patient with Alicia looking on and listening. But it was against Mr.
"Our boat is not over-manned," resumed Richard. "Say you will come, and I will speak to my father." "I wish I could! But how are we to live while I am learning? No; I must grind away till " He stopped short, and gave a sigh. "Till when, Arty?" asked his sister. "Till death set me free," he answered. "You wouldn't leave me behind, Arty!" said Alice; and rising, she put her arm round his neck.
All of the rolling stock was in extremely bad condition and a good part of it would not run at all. All of the buildings were dirty, unpainted, and generally run down. The roadbed was something more than a streak of rust and something less than a railway. The repair shops were over-manned and under-machined. Practically everything connected with operation was conducted with a maximum of waste.
The Ramsgate men were, as usual, keeping a bright lookout. Instantly they jumped into the lifeboat, which lay calmly floating in the harbour alongside the pier. So eager were the men to engage in the deadly struggle that the boat was over-manned, and the last two who jumped in were obliged to go ashore again. The tug Aid was all ready according to custom with steam up.
The signal was given. The lifeboat-men rushed to their boats. "First come, first served," is the rule there. She was over-manned, and some of the brave fellows had to leave her. The tight little tug took the boat in tow, and in less than half an hour rushed out with her into the intense darkness, right in the teeth of tempest and billows. The engines of the Aid are powerful, like her whole frame.
Its headquarters are at the Grand Hotel. It seems to me over-manned, for the number of the healthy who receive pay and rations from its funds exceeds the number of the wounded. Many, too, of the former are young unmarried men, who ought to be serving either in the ranks of the army, or at least of the Garde Nationale.
The trim of a light, sharp vessel is easily deranged; and officers, in their desire to command as much as possible, often get their vessels of this class too deep. They are, generally, for the sort of cruiser, over-sparred, over-manned, and over-provisioned; consequently, too deep.
