They did not have to plow and reap they bought what they wanted; and they spent their time at play with sailboats and fishing tackle, bicycles and automobiles, and what not. How all this money came to be was a thing difficult to imagine; but it came from the city from the great Metropolis, to which one's thoughts turned with ever livelier interest.
"It ought not to be," Dave replied. "Midshipmen of the upper classes are expected to be familiar with the handling of sailboats." "Those fellows are getting careless, at any rate," muttered Dan Dalzell. "Look at the way that sail is behaving. Those fellows are paying too much attention to the girls and too little heed to the handling of the craft!"
In the morning father and the children dig clams in the mud by the shore, an' we bake them, and oh, there's thousands of things to do." "Once I went sailing on the bay," said McTeague. "It was in a tugboat; we fished off the heads. I caught three codfishes." "I'm afraid to go out on the bay," answered Trina, shaking her head, "sailboats tip over so easy.
In their tops the silver phosphorescence glowed and whirled until the whole surface of the lake seemed filled with a dancing white fire, twisting, turning and seeming to leap out of the water high into the air. Several small sailboats, square, flat little catamarans, they looked, showed black against the water as they scudded for shore, trailing lines of silver out behind them.
The captains were occasionally stubborn and refused to obey our signals, so a few accidents occurred; in one case, for instance, a stray shot struck some passengers in a lifeboat, which collapsed; but as a rule passengers and crews were picked up by the many sailboats and fishing boats which circulate in the Irish Sea and in St.

From a restricted area used for paddle boats and used by swimmers they had rowed along and watched sailboats and water skiers within a bloody orange sunset.
The steamers "Alamo" and "Red Cross" were dropped upon Pelican Flats, and when the waves retreated were left high and dry upon the sand. Yachts and sailboats were driven over the mainland and could be seen in the grass far beyond Texas City. Railroad cars loaded and empty were carried into the bay, and miles of track torn up and washed away.
He spent an hour in Shirokya admiring the packaging and design, listening to Japanese music, and feeling proud of the evident care taken with details. If you're going to do something, do it well.

Then he glanced at the harbor and at the two sailboats bobbing and pulling their ropes. He was tired with a long strain of work. The summer was almost done. For weeks since the night of the big storm he had worked incessantly. A new light had come over things, "The light that never was on sea or land," he called it, and he had worked feverishly.
