I suppose he picked up a couple of small guns at Ostend, thinking that they might be useful to him in these waters." A splattering fire of musketry now broke out from the brigantine. They had lessened their distance by half when they saw the brigantine, without apparent cause, heel over. Farther and farther she went until her lee rail was under water.
Something collided with him as he sprang; something wrestled madly with him; something wrenched from beneath him; and in a clap he heard the thud of a body striking ground far below, and the slithering and splattering of some creature speeding furiously down the hill-side and away. "Who the blazes?" roared he. "What the devil?" screamed a little voice. The moon shone out. "Moore!" "M'Adam!"
Torrance flattened himself until he grunted, for bullets were splattering about the dropping light. In a few moments the bohunks understood. They turned their attention then to the top of the trestle. As long as Torrance held himself flat on the sleepers he was safer than the Indian supposed.
"Throw up yo' hands!" The Kid invited. But they didn't. Lead began to hum viciously. Bending low in their saddles, they drew and opened up a splattering fire. Their guns winked red flashes. Lefty's man had shown fight, Lefty had bowled him over with a double trigger pull, and Lefty came racing back to help Red with the two rustlers at the camp fire. There were fireworks, and plenty of them!
"On the 22d of June he sold his dog said 'Dern a dog, anyway, where you're just starting off on a rattling bully pleasure tramp through the summer woods and hills perfect nuisance chases the squirrels, barks at everything, goes a-capering and splattering around in the fords man can't get any chance to reflect and enjoy nature and I'd a blamed sight ruther carry the claim myself, it's a mighty sight safer; a dog's mighty uncertain in a financial way always noticed it well, GOOD-by, boys last call I'm off for Tennessee with a good leg and a gay heart, early in the morning."
He pressed the control button, and a blinding stream of violet radiance splashed against the metal above. It hissed and sputtered where it touched; molten drops fell sizzling and splattering to the floor; then suddenly there was a flood of ruddy illumination, and the Hawk dropped the heat-ray, stepped forward and looked up.
But without help, it still killed its victims, apparently driving them madly toward frenzied physical effort. He studied the culture on a slide again. He'd tried Koch's method to get a pure strain, splattering the bugs onto a native starchy root and plucking off individual colonies. About twenty specimens had been treated with every chemical he could find.
He flinched as something hard struck his arm. "Ouch! What was that?" Ringg cried out in pain. "It's hail!" Sharp pieces of ice were suddenly pelting, raining down all around them, splattering the ground with a harsh, bouncing clatter. Ringg yelled, "Come on it's big enough to flatten you!" It looked to Bart as if it were at least golf-ball size, and seemed to be getting bigger by the moment.
As has been intimated before, the strawberry bed may often be so located on the Home Acre as to permit of irrigation. This does not mean sprinkling and splattering with water, but the continuous maintenance of abundant moisture during the critical period from the time the fruit begins to form until it ripens.
