"Why should we follow her?" "Your brother is on board." And having spoken thus, the lumberman sank again into semi-unconsciousness. "Can he be telling the truth, or is he out of his head?" questioned Sam. "I'm sure I don't know, Sam." "Perhaps we had better look around for the schooner he mentioned." "All right, I'll do so.

The right wrist of the sheriff was all but dislocated. The other deputy was so exhausted he had to be helped to his horse. But Dyke was taken. He himself had suddenly lapsed into semi-unconsciousness, unable to walk. They sat him on the buckskin, S. Behrman supporting him, the sheriff, on foot, leading the horse by the bridle.
She no longer had an excuse to remain, and went away slowly and regretfully. When she reached her room she was at a loss what to do with the kettle.

I exclaimed, whilst a horrible fear like an icy claw suddenly gripped at my heart. "You haven't lost it, have you?" "Worse!" he cried, and fell up against me in semi-unconsciousness. I shook him violently.

But on the verge of an oak wood, amid tangled and tawny masses of fern and grass, a hound stopped and looked up.
His horse heard him and neighed. Now and again he lapsed into semi-unconsciousness, and time passed without track.
