The fellow's as mad as a hatter!" When Lord Emsworth, sighting Mr. Peters in the group of returned churchgoers, drew him aside and broke the news that the valuable scarab, so kindly presented by him to the castle museum, had been stolen in the night by some person unknown, he thought the millionaire took it exceedingly well. Though the stolen object no longer belonged to him, Mr.
The captain and the first lieutenant remained on the bridge, anxiously sighting in the direction in which the sail had been reported to be. As the captain had instructed the engineer to do, he had caused the fires to be reduced and a change of fuel used so that the smokestack of the Bronx was just beginning to send up volumes of black smoke.
I felt pretty easy about the schooner. She can only be attacked by boat, and I searched the coast pretty narrowly on our way down without sighting one. If these men possess a boat, she probably lies somewhere on the eastern side, not far from their camp fire.
If we had sailed directly south we should have touched the western instead of the eastern coast, for the reason that practically the entire continent of South America lies east of the parallel of longitude which passes through New York. After sighting land we sailed along the coast three days before we cast anchor at Bahia, our first landing place.
"Five miles south of Wye Mills on Route 50. Direction, southwest." Scotty measured the distance from Wye Mills, using the map scale in inches, then estimated the compass direction and drew a line. "Next." Rick read on. By the time he had reached the tenth sighting, all three of them were waiting anxiously for each new bit of data to be plotted. Finally the job was complete.
Rushton, "no, sir! it's a a bad morning, a wretched, diabolical morning, if the sun is pretending to shine." "I think the sunshine is very pretty, sir." "Yes I suppose you do I have no doubt of it everything is pretty, of course, Roundjacket!" "Well?" "Did you get exhibit 10?" "I did, sir," replied Roundjacket, sighting his ruler to see if it was straight. "Have you had your breakfast, sir?"
"You know," said Stalky at last, sighting at a distant sparrow, "we could hide our sallies in there like anything." "Huh!" Beetle snorted, choked, and gurgled. He had been silent since they left the dormitory. "Did you ever read a book called 'The History of a House' or something? I got it out of the library the other day. A French woman wrote it Violet somebody.
In the evenings, as we hang over the taffrail, we watch with interest the bluish-white sparks mingling with the light blue foam near the stern the first indications of that phosphorescence which, I am told, we shall find so bright in the tropics. An always interesting event at sea is the sighting of a distant ship.
Then we shall probably find calms about the Tropic of Capricorn; after which, without once sighting land, we may very likely find a breeze, more or less favourable, but seldom against us, which will carry us through the Straits of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra, to the west of the great island of Borneo, right away to the north, through the China sea, leaving the Philippine Islands on our right hand, up to Japan.
No day passed but there was an abundance of water, while the grass simply carpeted the country. We merely soldiered along, crossing what was then one of the No-man's lands and the Cherokee Outlet, never sighting another herd until after entering Kansas.
