The Flower of Spain inhaled a deep breath of smoke, which he expelled in deliberate globes. "Oh, don't! Oh " Lavinia exclaimed, an arm before her eyes. Mochales shifted easily from his seat and apparently in the same instant the bull crushed the stool to splinters. "Bravo! Bravo!" Anna Mantegazza called again, and the man bowed until his extended hat rested on the ground.
"Did it, by the great horn spoon!" shouted he delightedly; and even as he spoke we saw the white splinters fly from the frigate's mainmast- head; the topmast swayed aft, tottered for a moment, and came down by the run! The delight of our men every soul of whom was by this time on deck was a sight to see!
He had entered the Heads seventeen times, and believed he knew the ground. So he steered straight for the false opening, mistaking it for the true one. He did not find out that he was wrong until it was too late. There was no saving the ship. The great seas swept her in and crushed her to splinters and rubbish upon the rock tushes at the base of the precipice.
In this, however, he was disappointed, not the faintest suggestion of uneasiness could be detected in the colonel's face indeed, he seemed to be absorbed in a critical contemplation of the smoke which lazily wreathed upward from the end of the cigar. Suddenly the bow twanged loudly, the arrow whizzed through the air, and, striking fair upon the rosette, fell in splinters to the deck.
"Nay," said the knight. "You are the best jouster of all the men I ever met. For the love of the high order of knighthood let us break another spear." "I agree," said Arthur.

One, two, three, four burst short, and splinters and bullets sang past him; two more burst overhead, and the shrapnel clashed and rattled amongst the stone and brick of the ruins. Without moving, the Forward Officer began to call a fresh string of orders. The rush of his shells ceased for a moment while the gunners adjusted the new angles and ranges. 'Number One fired. Two fired.
They had learned to get as much sleep as possible. The two replacements kept the fire going as they had promised, and the boys did not waken until they were called at three-fifty the next morning. Bugs and Splinters had gotten a little sleep. They were up instantly and eager to trail along and see what was going to happen. "Ye'll soon learn to sleep when ye get a chance," O'Malley said.
"You did right to hold fast to each other," I said: as if the monster- splinters were living things, and could hear me.
Many of the guns were dismantled, and the decks were strewed with the splinters and plankings of the gunwale, broken spars, and negroes lying dead, or drunk, in all directions some cut and torn to pieces, others whole, but mixed up with the fragments of other bodies: such a scene of blood I have never since witnessed.
She caught it in her mouth, making the splinters fly. Jones shoved her head back on the ground and pressed his brawny knee on the bar of wood. "The collar! The collar! Quick!" he called. I threw chain and collar to him, which in a moment he had buckled round her neck. "There, we've got her!" he said. "It's only a short way over to camp, so we'll drag her without muzzling."
