There was great danger that they would be. There was danger also that the tow-line might slue both men into the icy waters and upset the boat. Captain Barney was tingling with fear. Dan knew it, and smiled. It was not often that any one had the privilege of seeing Captain Barney frightened.
"Free range or not, it as good as belongs to the Bar S." "Old Salt used to run quite a bunch round Cabin Hill and another north near the Slue." "He does yet one or two thousand head in all, maybe. Oh, these fellers ain't foolish enough to crowd Old Salt that close. They know Dale's is their best chance." Racey's eyes travelled, from one ridge to the other.
We had to unpack our trunks again and get out heavy-soled shoes, for the zinc which covered the decks of these river-steamers burned through the thin slippers we had worn on the ship. That day we had a little diversion, for we saw the "Gila" come down the river and up the slue, and tie up directly alongside of us.
Accordingly, we kept the boat so far from shore as to oblige them to wet their feet in getting into her; and then waited for a good high comber, and, letting the head slue a little round, sent the whole force of the sea into the stern-sheets, drenching them from head to feet.

From whence the countrie of Scithia now stretcheth all along toward the East. There neuer medled any power with theim, that was able to conquers theim: or muche to endamage them. Thei forced Darius, the Kyng of the Persians, with greate dishonour to flie their countrie. Thei slue Cirus with all his armie. Thei made an ende of Alexandre with al his power.

Let us understand each other. Who do you suppose I am?" "Miss Miss Almer, ain't it?" "It's Alma Brown, Mr. Forrest.
The pilot advised the skipper to let go the starboard anchor, hoping that the set of the tide would slue the ship's stern round, and make her lie head on to the seas; so the anchor was dropped, but it did not alter the position of the ship.
