It is the theory that, by opening several cocks and closing several others, and adjusting about fifteen or twenty little duflickers just so, and then revolving this wheel briskly with a crank provided for that purpose, the engine can be started. It is supposed to say chug-chug a couple of times impatiently, and then go scooting away, chug-chugging like an inspired slide-trombone.
God bless and keep you, CON. ON BOARD, July 27th, 1916. My VERY DEAR PEOPLE: Here we are scooting along across the same old Atlantic we've crossed so many times on journeys of pleasure. I'm at a loss to make my letters interesting, as we are allowed to say little concerning the voyage and everything is censored. There are men on board who are going back to the trenches for the second time.
He hooks into one, lashes it under his quarter and goes scooting back to harbor, which happens to be the naval base. Proudly and noisily he steamed along, shouting to everybody he met of his good luck, and asking the course to the admiral's ship. Everybody he met gave him the course and also the full width of the channel as he passed.
Next he arranged with a friendly teamster for the prompt return of the two borrowed horses on which Beth and her maid had come to camp. Then, on his way to an assayer's office, where samples of rock from the claim in question had been left for the test of fire, he encountered a homely, little, dried-up woman who was scooting about from store to store with astonishing celerity of motion.
Two 18-pdrs. were man-handled to the side of the hill and opened fire, while six of us with glasses and our lunch sat behind and watched. It was a dainty sight the lorries scooting across, while the escort took cover. The guns picked off a few, completely demolishing two lorries, then with a few shells into some cavalry that appeared on the horizon, they ceased fire.
We'll get there long before dark unless something happens to this old mill I'm driving." "There! Tommy's harping on his pet trouble," laughed Helen. "Father won't let us use the new car to go scooting about the country alone in, and Tommy thinks he is abused." "Well! that 'six' is just eating its head off in the garage," grumbled the boy. "Just as though it were a horse!" chuckled Ruth.
My heart to thine shall ever turn For thou hast made my soul to burn With rapture far beyond Elaine screamed, and in a twinkling was on her chair with her skirts gathered about her. It was only Claudius Tiberius, dressed in Rebecca's doll's clothes, scooting madly toward the front door, but it served effectually to break up the entertainment. A Sensitive Soul
The sudden rumbling, rattling, and pounding jumbled a fellow's wits. I scarcely understood what was up, even when we were scooting for our lives." "I felt a bit white-livered myself, I tell ye; and I'm more hardened to slides than you are," was the woodsman's answer. The confession, taken in the light of his conduct, made him doubly a hero to his city friends.
But I used to see him scooting 'round in his launch twenty-five foot, she was, with a little mahogany cabin and the land knows what and the servants at the big house told me yarns about his owning a big steam-yacht, with a sailing-master and crew, which was cruising round Newport somewheres. "But, busy as I was, I see enough to make me worried.
"This won't do at all!" he exclaimed, earnestly. "The traveling machine seems to be running away with me, and I'm missing no end of sights by scooting along up here in the clouds." He turned the indicator to zero, and was relieved to find it obey with customary quickness. In a few moments he had slowed up and stopped, when he found himself suspended above another stretch of sandy plain.
