Our men were on one side of the parapets and the Rebels on the other, with the fighting almost hand-to-hand. The vessels ranged out to where their guns would rake the Rebel line, and as their shot tore down its length, the Rebels gave way, and falling back to the next traverse, renewed the conflict there.
INTER. Thou hast said the right, said He, and his muck-rake doth show his carnal mind. And whereas thou seest him rather give heed to rake up straws and sticks, and the dust of the floor, than to what He says that calls to him from above with the celestial crown in His hand, it is to show that Heaven is but as a fable to some, and that things here are counted the only things substantial.
Grundy She's a much-maligned person, Ponderevo a rake at heart and it puts her in a most painful state of fluster most painful! She's an amenable creature. When Grundy tells her things are shocking, she's shocked pink and breathless. She goes about trying to conceal her profound sense of guilt behind a haughty expression.... "Grundy, meanwhile, is in a state of complete whirlabout.
"I've been told he has got the inside track with the Government, and that he is a square man." "That's the reason you want him?" "Yes." "And you will pay me fifty dollars to point him out to you?" "I will." "Must I wait for my money until you get your rake?" "No." "You will pay me right down?" "I will pay you the money two minutes after you point the man out to me." "Do you want an introduction?"
Many of them have to rake and scrape a long time to gather together the ten dollars their steamer passage costs, and when one of them gets back he is a bankrupt forever after. Few Moors can ever build up their fortunes again in one short lifetime after so reckless an outlay.
"'Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, Mr. Powers, is the direct data we have on that subject," he said. Then he, for the first time, observed the approach of Dabney and myself, of which his widening smile and the quick lowering of the slab of rye pone gave notice to father, who exploded accordingly. "You black son-of-a-gun! Why didn't you rake off these dahlias as I told you to yesterday?
"Give it to her, boys!" shouts Moultrie, "now is your time!" and the cannon balls rake the decks from stem to stern. The captain of the flagship was struck twice, Lord Campbell was hurt, and one hundred men were either killed or wounded. Once Sir Peter was the only man left on the quarter-deck, and he himself was twice wounded.
If this man had ever been a rake, his reformation must have been drastic and complete, because although she had a very limited acquaintance with people of that sort, it was reasonable to conclude that they must bear some sign of indulgence or sensuality. The rancher had no stamp of either. He showed his pleasure at her appearance. "You have had quite a walk," he said.
"I don't rightly remember," confessed Pollock. "I've only been in here once." "I'll find out in the morning. Good luck!" Jack handed Bob three of the canteens, a hoe and rake and one of the flat files. "What's this for?" asked Bob. "To keep the edge of your hoe sharp," replied Jack. They shouldered their implements and felt their way in the darkness over the tumbled rock outcrop.
"If they'll keep that formation, we might get away with the whole bunch of them," said Frank. "Yes, but they won't," replied Jack. He was a good prophet. Even now, the German vessels began to spread out, and within ten minutes had formed a semi-circle. It was possible now for the forward guns on each ship to rake the Essex without interfering with each other's fire.
