Set thy sails warily, Tempests will come; Steer thy course steadily, Christian, steer home!" Mrs. Southey. The visit of Captain Daggett, taken in connection with all that he had said and done, while on Oyster Pond, and at Sag Harbour, had the effect greatly to hasten the equipments of the Sea Lion.
"Where the dickens have you been? I've been trying all evening to get you," Sudden complained. "Huh? Oh, I just got in. I been fixing fence over west of here. Took me till dark No, the stock's all in wind had blowed down a couple of them rotten posts well, they was rotten enough to sag over, so I had to reset them Had to reset them, I said! Dig new holes!"
This gave us insufficient time to make the day's march before the sun softened the snow, and moccasins grew wet, and snow-shoe strings began to stretch, and the webbing underfoot to yield and sag and we had to content ourselves with half a stage. By nine P. M. we were off again and did pretty well until the night grew so dark that we could no longer distinguish our landmarks.
The vehicle in which I rode was a fly on three wheels, the fourth having apparently been broken and taken off, causing the fly to sag on one side and drag on its axle over the muddy ground, the fly thus moving only at a foot's pace in a way calculated to enhance the dreariness of the occasion.
I thought that was that city, quoth I; I went once myself through that town, and, therefore, know that this report you give of it is true. SAG. Too true; I wish I could speak truth in speaking better of them that dwell therein.

The fact was that the uprights within the shack had been too soon removed, which put a strain upon the all too slender horizontal timber which they had supported. This had been pieced mid-way, an instance of hasty and flimsy construction, and the weight of Blythe at this point caused the strip to sag.
Run, like a good creature, Tracy, and see if that is Wilfrid, and come back and tell me; but don't sag I am here." "Desert my post?" Tracy hugged his arms tight together. "Not if I freeze here!" The doubt in Lady Charlotte's eyes was transient. She dropped her glass. Visible adieux were being waved between Mr. Pericles and Laura Tinley on the one hand, and Wilfrid and Emilia, on the other.
While there was nothing definite in this prior survey, it sounded a note of warning; for the course they were running would carry the line up the Ganso on the south side of the river, passing between the new tanks, and leaving our range through a sag in the hills on the south end of the grant.
The only good veterinary doctor about here lives way over by Spring Hill, and it would take him a day to drive over and back, besides costing me about ten dollars. Still, I ought to get him. Buttercup is pretty sick," answered Sam, and I could see that his broad shoulders under his well-cut blue serge coat of last season seemed to sag with the weight of his animal responsibilities.
The little group that bore the mate's body shuffled aft, with the others following like a funeral procession. A man looked shivering out of the door of the starboard forecastle, and inquired in loud whispers. "Was ist los? Sag mal was ist denn los?" He put his inquiry to Conroy, who waved him off and passed to the port forecastle on the other side of the deckhouse.
