"I need about a gallon to top off that meat." "Yes; come on; there's a little water hole down here." Payne led the way down the bank to a slight hollow where water had seeped up through the mud. "Go easy on it," he advised as Higgins kneeled by the pool. "It doesn't look extra good to me." "It's wet anyhow," said Higgins and scooped a double handful to his lips. He spat instantly.
Caught in the barbs of the wire, wedged in, the bodies hung suspended. Under foot it was terrible. The black blood, winking in the starlight, seeped down into the clinkers between the ties with a prolonged sucking murmur. Presley turned away, horror-struck, sick at heart, overwhelmed with a quick burst of irresistible compassion for this brute agony he could not relieve.
The wells were especially dangerous, as it was the common custom to wash clothing around them so that water containing disease germs frequently seeped into wells used by whole villages. The results of such conditions during a cholera epidemic can readily be imagined. The drinking supplies of many provincial towns have now been radically improved by the sinking of 853 successful artesian wells.
It was a peculiar geological formation, some disarranged strata leading beneath the hill from the river and emptying into the bottom of this pond. All through the year it seeped in faster than our extensive drainings could carry it away, and in the spring and fall, when the river was high, it poured in. I don't see what could have happened.
This class, as has been said, was preponderantly in the majority, but its mass was being constantly diminished as a little knowledge of danger seeped into its substance. News of the possible catastrophe passed from mouth to mouth; a world outside, waiting aghast at such fatuity, began to get in its messages. Street corner alarmists talked to such as would listen.
Once the foaming surf threatened to lap over her slippers; he caught her deftly and raised her high above the swirl. "Oh," she cried, a little breathlessly, "ain't you strong!" Then she laughed in a high-pitched voice. They dallied until the moon hardened from a soft, low ball to a high, yellow disk and the night damp seeped into their clothes.
Whoever did the job didn't even rob me, and I had a good deal of cash in my wallet." "Maybe nobody made an attempt on you or your property at all, Tom," Ned remarked slowly. "What d'you mean? I certainly was knocked out!" "Oh, I know that. But couldn't some sort of gas have seeped into your office from your adjoining laboratory? A bottle of acid might have cracked, or "
The day had changed and lost its smile, for the sky was hidden by a dirty quilt of rain-charged clouds and the frost had seeped into the marshes and left them dark, acid winter green, yet she longed to walk out there in that unsunned and water-logged country, opening her coat to the cold wind brought by the grey, invading tides, making little cold pools where she dug her heels into the sodden ground, getting rid of her sense of inflammation, and being quite alone.
"There's the man I've picked," announced Tom, pointing to Spike. A dead silence greeted the announcement, a silence broken only by the heavy breathing of the lumberjacks, and the shrill voice of Joe Shafto back in the cook-house abusing Willy Horse. "What do you say, fellows?" urged Tom quietly. Something seeped slowly into the brain of those rough and ready two-fisted lumbermen.
There was no fire, no food, and the water seeped out of the ground on which we lay. Some of those even who had not yet spoken now openly said that we could go no farther. For the wind had shifted into the northwest, and, for the first time since we had left Kaskaskia we saw the stars gleaming like scattered diamonds in the sky.
