But she was carrying a pitcher of molasses on her head and I had treacle in my hair for weeks afterwards the flies followed me everywhere. I didn't hurt you, did I?" "No," I said. "I'm all right." "It was just as much my fault as it was yours, you know," said the little man. "I had my head down too but look here, we mustn't sit talking like this. You must be soaked. I know I am.
It was entrancing work, though we were soaked with mud and water, but before very long my head began to swim, and I proposed to go back to the house and see about some sort of food. I just managed to get a meal prepared and then gave out utterly, for my beautiful banana swamp had given me a fever with a most alarming promptitude.
Crumble a pound of sponge cakes, an equal quantity, or less if preferred, of cocoanut, grated in a basin. Pour over two pints of rich cream previously sweetened with a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar and brought to the boiling point. Cover the basin and when the cream is soaked up stir in it eight well-beaten eggs.
"Got any matches; mine are all soaked?" said Bluff, his teeth rattling together. "I always carry a few. Yes, here they are. Let me make a quick fire, while you jump around to warm up; and Bluff, please keep your eye on my camera, won't you?" "Sure," replied the other, commencing to leap and frisk around, so as to get his chilled blood in circulation again.
When the traveller, who had been recognised, recovered from a swoon, he saw them bringing from a distance something covered, that lay heavy and still, upon a board, between four men, and saw that others drove some dogs away that sniffed upon the road, and soaked his blood up, with a train of ashes. Several People delighted, and the Game Chicken disgusted The Midshipman was all alive.

"Pete, if I hear one word more out of you, out you go. Lady! Huh! Where d' you come from, young woman?" Claire was too weak to stagger away. She leaned against the door.
We are soaked to the skin, and the spray covers us like a silvery veil; our boat as well as ourselves is daubed with a salt crust, our eyes smart and our lips have a briny tang, but to us sailors it's a joy to be the sport of the wild waves, and even those few unfortunates who always suffer from sea-sickness never lose their love of the sea.
The patches should be of silk, soaked in a mixture of one part of beeswax and two of fresh hog's lard, free from salt. If they are spread with pure grease, it melts out of them in a hot country, and they become dry. Silk is better than linen as it is not so liable to be cut down by the sharp grooves of the rifle.
For twenty-five feet or more the wheels kept on the ground, but soon thereafter the wheels were free, and they were delighted to find that the timbers did not permit the body to go down very low into the water, and this saved their bedding from becoming soaked. The yaks performed their work nobly.
At last the water ran out of the hole as well as in, and the soaked beast came with it, and made a desperate rush. But in a trice the dog had him, and the boys stood off in a circle, with stones in their hands, to see what they called "fair play."
