"Shank," said Charlie one day as they were sitting in the sunshine near the outlaws' cave, waiting for Dick and the scout to return to their mid-day meal, "it seems to me that we may be detained a good while here, for we cannot leave Ralph, and it is evident that the poor fellow won't be able to travel for many a day " "If ever," interposed Shank sorrowfully.
Jump in a taxi and come as quickly as you can." "But what IS it?" persisted Jimmy. The dull sound of the wire told him that the person at the other end had "hung up." Jimmy gazed about the room in perplexity. What was he to do? Why on earth should he leave his letters unanswered and his mail topsy turvy to rush forth in the shank of the morning at the bidding of a young woman whom he abhorred.
"Is They used to live on the Avenue," he said. "But you said you were visiting. Captain Warren, is this your niece's apartment?" "Yes, hers and Steve's. Why, what's the matter? Ain't goin', are you?" "I think perhaps I had better. It is getting late." "Late! It's only the shank of the evenin'. Jim, I ain't so blind that I can't see through an open window.
Its general colour is black, with a white mark, shaped like the letter Y; so placed that the shank of the letter is upon its breast, and the forks running up the front of its shoulders. It is not carnivorous, and, generally, its disposition is harmless and playful. It is easily tamed. The Sloth bear is another Indian species having this peculiar marking on the breast and shoulders.
I always turn up, therefore I am a bad shilling! Sound logic that, eh, May?" "I'm glad to see you, dear Shank," said careworn Mrs Leather, laying her knitting-needles on the table; "you know I'm always glad to see you, but I'm naturally surprised, for this visit is out of your regular time." "Has anything happened?" asked May anxiously.
Keeping a steady pull on the line, they soon brought the head of the big shark to the surface. It had bolted the hook, and was biting away at the chain secured to the shank. "He'll be through it if we don't make haste!" cried Tom. "Quick, quick, Casey! slip the bowline round him!"
A light line extends from one end of the pole to the point where it joins the "shank" and in this line is tied a loop by which is made fast another short line which secures the pole to the vessel or boat, so that when it is thrown at the fish it cannot be lost. Upon the end of the "shank" fits the head of the harpoon, known by the names swordfish-iron, lily-iron, and Indian dart.
PORK AS LAMB. To dress pork like lamb, kill a young pig four or five months old, cut up the fore-quarter for roasting as you do lamb, and truss the shank close. The other parts will make delicate pickled pork, steaks, or pies. PORK PIES. Raise some boiled crust into a round or oval form, and have ready the trimming and small bits of pork when a hog is killed.
Some had rolled overboard when the tidal wave came and we never saw so much as their bodies. The cook was burned to death in his galley. He had been paring potatoes for dinner and what was left of his right hand held the shank of his potato knife. The wooden handle was in ashes. All that happened to a man in less than a minute.
I ain't got no wish, now that we're fixed nice an' comfortable with the world's goods, to be hung for a pirate in the mere shank o' my youth. Why, I ain't fifty year old yet." "By the tail o' the Great Sacred Bull," chattered Scraggs. "Gib's right." McGuffey was plainly disappointed. "I hadn't thought o' that at all, Gib.
