His cry to this effect brought the professor forth from the shed-like shanty, while Waldo roused up sufficiently to speak: "To say nothing of yonder formation way out over the salty drink, my worthy friends, who intimated that a cyclone was born at sea?"
But by and by they reached the sands and walked to a spot just beneath the big acacia tree that grew on the bluff. Halfway to the top of the cliff hung suspended a little shed-like structure that sheltered Trot's rowboat, for it was necessary to pull the boat out of reach of the waves which beat in fury against the rocks at high tide.
As many men have many minds, it was almost impossible to secure anything like system in a long shed-like building occupied by a little democracy of hundreds of persons. The food was plain but good in quality, similar to the army ration, and at the time of my visit was abundant.
High shelves around the walls of a long, shed-like room were crowded with retorts and phials. An enormous, dusty human skeleton, articulated on concealed wire, moved as if annoyed by the intrusion. There were many kinds of skulls of animals and men on brackets fastened to the wall, and there were jars containing dead things soaked in spirit.
I seem to be the only one about, and I am going to put the system in some temporary order at least. If I'm called down later for being too officious, they can't say I didn't try to do my duty." Bart set briskly at work to put into motion a plan his quick, sensible mind had suggested. About one hundred feet away was a rough unpainted shed-like structure.
"Why, us bein' friends," said Gyp. "Now, Gyp, my boy. Now!" said Aunt Judith. "Come in and we'll talk it over." "Oo-o-o! Not now!" cried Gyp, "but to-night, if I darest ter, I'll dress up, and come." He slid down from the tall old wooden pump, gave three wild hops, and then raced off across the field toward the old shed-like building that he called home.
When hospitality has run dry, we have resorted to a shed-like structure dignified with the name of club. Personally, I call it a disgrace, which should at once be rectified." "I have already contributed my mite!" protested a young subaltern from the British regiment. "I know; so has everybody. With strenuous efforts I have collected the sum of five hundred rupees. That won't do.
Farnum and his two youthful companions went, first of all, to the long, shed-like building in which the third submarine craft to be turned out at this yard was now being built. From inside came the noisy clang of hammers against metal. The shipbuilder stepped inside alone, but soon came out, nodding. The three now continued on their way down to the little harbor.
The advancing line had thrown out tendrils of scarlet, as it went. Most of these had died, in the plowed ground. One had not. It had crept on, half-extinguished at times and again snapping merrily, until it had reached the tool-house. The shed-like room stood on low joists, with a clear space ten inches high between its flimsy board floor and the ground.
Such a spirit of exaltation pervaded the music that the common wooden shed-like building in which these followers of one earnest man asserted their faith in God rather than in a Church, seemed to take upon itself all the architectural beauty of a temple costing millions of money.
