The rowlock is simply a raw-hide loop, kept well greased, and as, toward the end of every stroke, the caique-jee leans back to his work, the oar slips several inches, causing a considerable loss of power.
The Bushman proceeded to communicate his plan, to which his master remembering their failure of yesterday readily gave his consent. Fortunately they had all the implements that would be necessary for carrying it out, a sharp axe, a strong rope or "rheim" of raw-hide, and their knives and they set about the business without loss of time. To the hunters time was a consideration.
Mike, still grumbling huskily to himself, waited until the windlass ceased vibrating, securely anchored the handle with a strip of raw-hide, and composedly sat down, his teeth set firmly on the pipe-stem, his eyes already half closed.
There is great virtue in a raw-hide, tight stretched; my father says that it is the only bed the Fathers would ever sleep on, in the Mission days. I myself like the ground even better; but my father sleeps always on the rawhide. He says it keeps him well. Do you think I might speak of it to the Senora?" "Speak of it to Senor Felipe himself," said Juan. "It will be as he says.
Within there are neatly arranged raw-hide boxes for housekeeping, and square bags of soft buckskin adorned with blue and white beads.

She held up proudly a medallion, or coin of some sort, hung on a narrow strip of raw-hide.
"And sometimes the giant is a gentleman in purple and fine linen, otherwise broadcloth; and sometimes in hodden gray, otherwise homespun or slop-shop; and sometimes he cuts the poor little chap with a silver knife, which is rhetoric, and sometimes with a wooden spoon, which is raw-hide. Am I stating it all correctly?" "All correctly."
Hi! but I've crawled under the woodshed to hear him yell, and father would tan him with a raw-hide, but he couldn't break him; couldn't get a sound out of him. Big, and hard, and tough Chrissy thought she knew a man; she thought she took the best one." With slow, cold spite Jacob had tracked his brother's path in life through its failures. Jacob had no failures, and no life.
In a moment he was obeyed; and he commenced whipping the offender upon his naked back, and continued, to the amount of about twenty lashes, with a heavy raw-hide whip, the crack of which might have been heard more than half a mile.
As he finished speaking, he stepped nearer to the line, and placed himself in an attitude to fire. I now fully comprehended his design. I saw, as he said, that the cord which bound me to the crucifix was all of one piece a thin thong of raw-hide lapped not very tightly around my arms, legs, and body.
