I saw the dark blood spurt out from beneath the eye of Pete, and I heard a crunching sound, as though bones were broken; but before I had time to think, the ruffian staggered, swung his arms aloft, and pitched heavily to the earth. "By G d, that was a Yankee blow," yelled a rough-looking genius, who had regarded the scene with great composure during the war of words.
By the afternoon you could see along three miles of beach dark figures with bare legs dashing in and out of the tumbling foam, and rough-looking men, women with hard faces, children, mostly fair-haired, were being carried, stiff and dripping, on stretchers, on wattles, on ladders, in a long procession past the door of the 'Ship Inn, to be laid out in a row under the north wall of the Brenzett Church.
The mangrove branches on the bank were pushed aside, revealing a creek, and a long Seminole dugout, bearing two rough-looking men, slipped like a snake out of the jungle and up to the Cormorant's bow. The two men vaulted easily over the low rail onto the deck. "Where is he?" asked the hideously scarred leader. "The boss said we should take him to Palm Island and leave him tied."
One by-day, when my wife and I were riding with the Emperor through the forest of Compiegne, a rough-looking man in a blouse, with a red comforter round his neck, sprang out from behind a tree; and before he could be stopped, seized the Emperor's bridle. In an instant the Emperor struck his hand with a heavy hunting stock; and being free, touched his horse with the spur and cantered on.
These other purchasers were the bane of his existence, the one great sorrow which, as he said, broke his heart. While he was speaking, a rough-looking lad, about sixteen years of age, came through the parlor to the veranda, dressed very much like his master, but unwashed, uncombed, and with that wild look which falls upon those who wander about the Australian plains, living a nomad life.
Sure enough a rough-looking fellow, his hat pulled over his eyes, half concealed behind a pile of lumber, was casting a sinister glance toward the pair. "The gal's well enough," continued Sam; "but I don't take a cent's wuth of stock in thet thar father of her'n. He's in with them sharps, sure pop, an' it don't suit his book to hev Foster hangin' round.
"Bit too rough for that, mister, isn't it?" said a rough-looking sailor who stood by with his hands in his pockets. "It is rough, my man," said my uncle quietly. "Jump in, Nat." I felt afraid, but I would not show it, and jumped into the boat, which was pushed off, and my uncle at once proceeded to hoist the lug-sail. "That's right, Nat," he said encouragingly.
This is the first time I have heard this theory, and my astonishment at hearing it from the lips of a rough-looking habitue of the Nevada plains, seated in the midst of a group of illiterate Indians, can easily be imagined.
The latter brought the iceboat into the wind near the shore, and Isadore dropped the sail again. They all tumbled out and ran up the bank. A little climb brought them to the plateau where they could see all that was going on near the rock on which Ruth and Tom had left the mattock the evening before. Lem Daggett had four men with him all rough-looking fellows, and armed with rifles.
Seize that runaway, and throw him into the wangan till I get ready to attend to him!" commanded Ward. The men did not move. "Do as I tell ye!" bawled the colonel. "Twenty dollars to the men fifty dollars to the men who ketch an' tie him for me!" Several rough-looking fellows came elbowing forward, tempted by the reward. Parker raised his gun, but Connick was even quicker.
