"I was taking a hunt" here Boone interrupted him by asking where his gun was. "I had no gun," said Sneak; and then stooping down and running his arm into the body of the buffalo, he produced a pronged spear, about four feet in length; "this," he continued, "is what I hunted with, and I was hunting after muskrats in the ponds out here, when the fire came like blazes, and like to 'ave ketched me!
He was drinking at the source of the spring, and the moonlight glistened on his pronged antlers and on the bubbling water. "We have but a single chance," I said in a whisper. "We must run no risk of losing it. I take it you are a good shot, Captain Rudstone?" "I have twice killed my man in a duel," was the curt reply. "Then you and I will fire together," I continued, "when I count three.
As they narrated to each other their unholy adventures, their tales of terror told in words of mirth; as their uncivilized laughter forked upwards out of them, like the flames from the furnace; as to and fro, in their front, the harpooneers wildly gesticulated with their huge pronged forks and dippers; as the wind howled on, and the sea leaped, and the ship groaned and dived, and yet steadfastly shot her red hell further and further into the blackness of the sea and the night, and scornfully champed the white bone in her mouth, and viciously spat round her on all sides; then the rushing Pequod, freighted with savages, and laden with fire, and burning a corpse, and plunging into that blackness of darkness, seemed the material counterpart of her monomaniac commander's soul.
He was hanging the instrument back in its pronged cradle with a shade of disappointment, when the door was thrown open. Hite came in. "Professor, they got the bird who bumped off Schurman. The D.A. was on the phone about it, up in that camp of his. He gave orders that you be permitted to cross-examine this bird. He told 'em to hold him for you." Professor Brierly scrambled to his feet.
When we reached the little shanty, Trew produced some capital bread, he had baked the evening before in a camp-oven; F 's pockets were emptied of their load of potatoes, which were put to roast in the wood embers; rashers of bacon and mutton chops spluttered and fizzed side-by-side on a monster gridiron with tall feet, so as to allow it to stand by itself over the clear fire, and we turned our chops from time to time by means of a fork extemporized out of a pronged stick.
Eleanor and Juliet at this moment appearing with the tea things, the kettle was hung above the fire on an arrangement of three pronged sticks and not until tea was over did the girls or Betty remember her suggestion. Then she handed Polly a pine knot first.
He that inhabited it seemed to be part a tiller of the soil and part a huntsman; but there were other things of which Paullinus could not guess the use hooks and pronged forks. There were skins of beasts on the floor, and on the ceiling hung bundles of herbs and dried meats. The air was pungent with pine-smoke.
Come here!" Kiddie ran to the tree, still with his knife and the forked stick in his hands. "Keep back!" Rube cautioned him. "It's a rattler a huge one far in among the roots. Listen!" Kiddie heard the unmistakable crackling sound. He went nearer, holding his pronged stick in front of him.
We saw several kinds of deer, and antelopes with their short pronged horns, and animals that resembled these last in size but with immense curving horns like those of the ram and other animals like goats or sheep. We saw some without tails, having the appearance of pigs, and others resembling foxes and dogs.
Great bows and arrows, such as the hunters had borne, were supplemented here by the long clubs of heavy wood and by ugly spears. The clubs terminated in balls studded with jaguar teeth. The spears were triple pronged, each prong ending in a saw-toothed araya bone and each bone darkened by the fatal wurali.
