In turning, all machines skid, that is they travel obliquely across the field, and this is also true when the ship is sailing at right angles to the course of the wind. Into the Wind at an Angle.
"Don't hit it up to-night, Charley. Can't you go home one evening?" He juggled her arm. "You're a nice little girl, all righty." "There's my car." He elevated her by the elbow to the step, swinging up half-way after her to drop a coin into the box. "Take care of this little lady there, conductor, and don't let your car skid." "Oh, Charley silly!"
It had had a hay-cart over it, with a harvest-home on the top, such as we see in pictures. It had had the Bangor coach over it, going down hill, and got caught in the skid. It had been under an artillery corps and field-guns at a gallop, when the Queen revoo'd the troops in Hyde Park. And look at it now!
When you halt by the roadside to let guns pass or when you leave your motor-cycle unattended, first place it in a position of certain safety where it cannot possibly be knocked over, and then move it another fifty yards from the road. It is impossible for a gunner to see something by the roadside and not drive over it. Moreover, lorries when they skid, skid furiously.
During the summer that the foregoing events were happening in Europe, Mr. Hiram Maxwell, in the little New England town of Fernborough had a serious accident happen to himself the effects of which were far reaching, and finally affected many people. In unloading a barrel of sugar from a wagon, it slipped from the skid and fell upon his leg causing a compound fracture.
"I've been up to the Valley of the Giants." Bryce was amazed. "Why, how could you?" he demanded. "The old skid- road is impassable, and after you leave the end of the skid-road, the trail in to Mother's grave is so overgrown with buckthorn and wild lilac I doubt if a rabbit could get through it comfortably." "Not a bit of it," the old man replied.
One day while touring in the south he came down grade around a bend squarely upon a car ascending. Chuck's car was going too fast to be stopped. He tried desperately to wrench it from the road, but perceived at once that this was impossible without a fatal skid. Fortunately the only turnout for a half mile happened to be just at that spot.
And our speed was great enough to resist the gravity pull of the planet, keeping us horizontal with the surface of the desert. We skidded in like a kid does on a sled, instead of coming in on our nose!" "Well, blast my jets!" said Astro softly. "In that case," said Roger, "we must have left a pretty long skid mark in back of us!"
For in a London house no sound, even one like the jerk of a stopped skid on a half-buried boulder, is quite beyond the possible caprice of a choked supply-pipe. Miss Grahame would have accepted the sound as normal, with some reservation as to the strangeness of everyday noises in this house, but for Aunt M'riar's exclamation, which made her say: "Isn't that right?"
If she ever does lose her head she'll skid for the ditch, and we can kiss ourselves good-by. She'll be as easy to steer as a wild boar by the tail. I guess you're sorry now that you didn't listen to me and let Max handle her before she got wise." "I wouldn't feel safe with any of that crowd. I'd be terribly afraid." Mrs. Knight shook her head dubiously. "Say! She's got you doing it, too.
