His judgment was not at fault. Hardly had the first flush of dawn tinted the yellow eastern sky with its rosy light, heralding the glowing heat of day, ere one of the men stationed in the tops hailed the deck. "There's something moving away off on our weather bow," sang out the man, shoving his head over the side of the top. "I can't make it out exactly, sir; there's a haze on the water ahead."
"Sure, she's a she!" replied the Boy. "MacPhairrson says so!" "That accounts fer it!" said Baldy. "It's a way all shes have with the Boss. Jest look at her now!" "Now for Ebenezer!" interrupted the Boss, to change the subject. "You better hand him to me, an' maybe he'll take it as an introduction." Solemnly the Boy stooped, shoving the little raccoon aside, and picked the pig up in his arms.
Shoving back his chair, he paced the floor in a fidgety manner and, at length, opened the door of Jack's room. The hungry prisoner was lounging upon a wooden settle, his chin in his hand, while he sullenly stared at the wall. Always mindful of his manners, he slowly rose to his feet and waited for another scolding.
"Oh, the lady's cheeks are coming off!" Edith gasped, as they beached. Maurice, shoving the trailing skiff on to its owners, said: "Can I do anything to help you?" "I'll catch my death," said the lady, who was crying; her trickling tears and her sopping handkerchief removed what remnants of her "cheeks" the sudden bath in the river had left.
"No matter, there's no chance of any one having been here while we were away," cried Terence, as he jumped down the companion-ladder. He had not got down many steps before he sprung up again in a great hurry, with a face of terror, his head shoving back the next man who was following him, and sending him sprawling on deck, while a loud angry growl was heard issuing from the cabin.
There were anxious eyes waiting for the reappearance of the two young heroes. "Jump! Jump through the big doors!" yelled Bert, helping Vincent to wrap the blanket about his body, and fairly shoving him toward the only available avenue of escape. "Jump! It will be too late in another minute!" Above the crackle of the flames could be heard men yelling: "Come on, boys! Come on! The roof's going!"
The bulldog woman was in front of him and, grotesque and woeful, while warm tears fell from her eyes, she told him that she had lost her teeth in her flight. As she spoke she drew clay pipes from the pocket of her nurse's apron, breaking them and shoving pieces of the stems into the hollows of her gums. "But she is really absurd," Des Esseintes told himself. "These stems will never stick."
Frank stood up and spoke hotly. Mr. Starr jumped up and was just as heated in his retort. "Yes!" "But the whole thing the muddling of the bank's books the disks a man shoving himself into the vault I'd have to be a lunatic to perform in that fashion!" "They say there's nothing new under the sun! There is, just the same! Some crook is thinking up a new scheme every day!"
"And the Right-Reverend William Lord Oliver, R. I., in the Presidential Chair, hooray and Glory be to God !" Susan began. "Oh, you dry up, Susan," Billy said laughing. "I don't care," he added contentedly. "I like to be at the bottom of things, shoving up. And my Lord, if we only pull this thing off !" "It's not my preconceived idea of a strike," Susan said, after a moment's silence.
A crash from the outside, followed by a yell, cut him short; then blow after blow shook the doors, until there came a sharp snap, a clinking of metal and a triangular bit of iron fell inwards, leaving a hole through which struggled a ray of light. Instantly West knelt, and shoving his revolver through the aperture fired every cartridge.
