My lord saw the movement, and sprang down the steps, at the same time shouting to the men behind to hasten. Sparrow, grappling with him, locked him in a giant's embrace, lifted him bodily from the steps, and flung him into the boat. His head struck against a thwart, and he lay, huddled beneath it, quiet enough. The minister sprang after him, and I cut the rope.
No one showed any curiosity in him when he appeared on the street so to speak but all pushed their way toward the one point of interest. The shouting and uproar ceased when fourteen warriors marched forth in Indian file, and, arranging themselves around the brown crisp mass of meat, made ready to fall to work, the others watching them.
I smiled, and Isaacs frowned at the ancient and hairy ascetic believer, who suddenly rose from his lair in a corner, and bustled through the crowd of Hindoos, shouting at the top of his voice the confession of his faith "Beside God there is no God, and Muhammad is his apostle!" The universality of the Oriental spirit is something amazing.
A portion of the enemy's line not covered by fire means that that portion is able to coolly aim and fire at their opponents. In an engagement the voice can seldom be heard over a few feet, and the platoon commander will generally have to convey his orders by signals.

"I will follow your instructions, and am in hopes that, by adopting the plan you have suggested, we may be able to reach the land." Then, with another bow to me, which I duly returned, he disappeared; and a moment later I heard him shouting some orders to his people, some twenty or thirty of whom at once sprang on deck and began to cut the lateen sails away from the long, tapering yards.
Mind the strain at the ends! Grip, now! Bite tight! Let the water get away from under and there she goes!" The wave raced off into the darkness, shouting, "Not bad, that, if it's your first run!" and the drenched and ducked ship throbbed to the beat of the engines inside her.
Rezanov managed to retain his seat, and pulled the frightened, plunging beast to its feet while his Cossacks were still shouting their consternation. But he was soaked to the skin, his personal luggage was in the same condition, and they did not reach a hut where a fire could be made until nine hours later.
