The very next roller that came in, which would have undulated in towards the land but for us, meeting with so large a body in its way, piled up and broke upon our decks, covering everything with water.
Jim grabbed the oar and jammed it into the scull-hole, but before he could wet the blade a crumbling roller almost swamped the boat. Out went everything that would float. "Save that bucket, Perce!" shouted Spurring. Percy clutched the handle just as the pail was going over the side. He bailed, while Spurling brought the flooded craft stern to the seas. "Take her now, Perce! Give me the bucket!"
And, by way of preventing any mistakes, I will mark it and cover it up, to protect it from injury in the slaughter-house." He opened his parcel and produced from it a wide-mouthed bottle labelled "Ox-gall," a sheet of gutta-percha tissue, a roller bandage, and a stick of sealing-wax. Handing the bottle to Mr.
Dr Glaser and the above-named organizations have also rendered yeoman service in securing the passage of laws prohibiting the use of a roller towel, and for the licensing and registering of midwives.

Later on the make-believe folk found that the noise was caused by a Jack in the Box springing up quickly to watch the race. "Bang!" went a toy pop gun.
As we watched, clinging to each other terrified, the first of these waves struck our hill, causing the mighty mass of solid rock to quiver like a yacht beneath the impact of an ocean roller, or an aspen in a sudden rush of wind.
Yes, of course, you must have a chief, and you'll own that he who struck out this idea may claim to have an enlightened and politic head? ROLLER. If one could hope, if one could dream, but I fear he will not consent. SPIEGEL. Why not? Speak out boldly, friend!
The ends of this roller projected beyond the edges of the sheet, and were terminated in knobs or bosses, which guarded in some measure the edges of the papyrus or of the parchment. The whole volume was also inclosed in a parchment case, on the outside of which the title of the work was conspicuously recorded. Many of these ancient rolls have been found at Herculaneum.
