Nine or ten devils, loose on the upper Macquarrie, caught the publican at Marryong alone in the bush; he had been an overlooker, or some such thing, in old times, so they stripped him, tied him up, gave him four dozen, and left him to the tender mercies of the blowflies, in consequence of which he was found dead next day, with the cords at his wrists cutting down to the bone with the struggles he made in his agony."
"Fayther's there too," wailed Betty. "Oh, the Lord keep him, and bring him up safe." "Where's our Bill? oh, have you seen anything of our Bill?" shrieked another poor distracted mother. Then came crowds of men, with overlookers and policemen. Then a hasty consultation was held as to what must be done. "Who'll volunteer to go down with me and send the poor fellows up?" cries the overlooker.
His works are a mile out of town; but it seems only a step, for there are houses all the way. Job Thornberry & Co.'s Print-works, Pendleton Road any one can guide you and when you get there, you can ask for me, if you like. I am his overlooker, and my name is ENOCH CRAGGS."
Many come back to the factory after eight, and even after three to four days, to resume full work. I once heard a manufacturer ask an overlooker: "Is so and so not back yet?" "No." "How long since she was confined?" "A week." "She might surely have been back long ago. That one over there only stays three days."
The steamers that broke in two and went down were not superintended on the stocks by a shrewd and vigilant overlooker: so they drowned their crews. An old woman lived in a one-roomed cottage among the sand hills bordering the sea. Her place was only a hut with thatched roof and stone floor, but coals were plentiful, so Mary was able to make herself very comfortable.
"I never thought of them, or thought of them with disgust, as the cause of my ruin. Of Hatton, I have not heard since my father's death. He had quitted Mowbray, and none could give me tidings of him.

My Persian servant, who had served as overlooker in Amasis' stables and had seen Bartja there, assisted by the old Egyptian who accompanied me, was very helpful, and asserted untiringly that the wounded man could be no other than your brother.
Thornton was half way down the street. Higgins sighed. But it was no use. To catch him in the street was his only chance of seeing 'the measter; if he had rung the lodge bell, or even gone up to the house to ask for him, he would have been referred to the overlooker.
His position as overlooker, too, made him dislike the thoughts of receiving relief amongst the operatives whom he might some day be called upon to superintend again. A little higher up in Amy Lane we came to a kind of square.
Since he's been overlooker, things have prospered as they didn't prosper in the time of the boys. Ambrose owned as much to me himself. Still, sir, it's hard to be set aside for a stranger; isn't it? John gives the orders now. The boys do their work; but they have no voice in it when John and the old man put their heads together over the business of the farm.
