Perhaps even within the last few centuries the spot called Mousetrap Cove, scooped out of the peninsula on which the old church stands, was dry land. The old Raxton church at the end of this peninsula had, not many years since, to be deserted for a new one, lest it should some day carry its congregation with it when it slides, as it soon will slide, into the sea.
He would like to see any of them catch him. They were straining after him, and half a dozen canoes shot down that glassy slide which leads to the rocks. It takes three minutes for a skillful paddler to run that dangerous race of three quarters of a mile. Jean Boucher stood at the prow, and the waves boiled as high as his waist.
"A silent Orpheus wrought the charm From riven rocks their spoils to bring; A nameless Titan lent his arm To range us in our magic ring. "But Time with still and stealthy stride, That climbs and treads and levels all, That bids the loosening keystone slide, And topples down the crumbling wall,
It is then immediately withdrawn, and drops automatically into either the 'male' or the 'female' compartments of the machine, the location of the hole tilting the slide that determines on which side the punched card shall fall." "So that really the sorting into sexes is done by the one and the same operation as the punching of the card," the boy remarked; "I see now. That's a first-class idea."
"Here comes Senator Buchan and lady," said the attorney to his companion. "I knew those people twenty-five years ago. I was one of a party to rescue Buchan and a companion from under a snow slide in the Sangre de Christo mountains. The girl had come all the way from California to help in the rescue. I don't believe she would have lived two days longer if we had not got him out.
"That's the Gridley way," Dick called back. "Crew captains!" shouted the referee. "Ready to launch your craft! Time for a bit of preliminary practice." "Take hold and launch!" cried Bob Hartwell, running forward. Over into the water went the Preston High School canoe with a splash. The Preston boys began to fill their places. "Gridley, stand by to launch!" called Prescott, "Slide her in, easily!"
I believe with all my soul that whatever will be, will be for the best. As I said before, I should hate to slide meanly into winter without a scrap.... I have a top-hole platoon nearly all young, and nearly all have been out here eighteen months thoroughly good sporting fellows; so if I don't do well it will be my fault."
Up and to my Lord's and thence to the Duke, and followed him into the Park, where, though the ice was broken and dangerous, yet he would go slide upon his scates, which I did not like, but he slides very well. So back and to his closett, whither my Lord Sandwich comes, and there Mr.
It's a fissure vein, all right." "An' look at the size of it!" Saltman cried. "They've got something here, you bet." "An' run your eyes down the slide there see them bluffs standin' out an' slopin' in. The whole slide's in the mouth of the vein as well." "And just keep a-lookin' on, out on the ice there, on the trail," Saltman directed. "Looks like most of Dawson, don't it?"
Bertie went up more circumspectly, hesitating before he put his head above the companionway slide. But nothing happened. The mate was shaking with excitement, his revolver in his hand. Once he startled, and half-jumped around, as if danger threatened his back. "One of the natives fell overboard," he was saying, in a queer tense voice. "He couldn't swim." "Who was it?" the skipper demanded.
