"D n you, the woman first!" she heard him say, and he sent the leaders of the mob sprawling over the hatches of the forehold. Coke, almost carrying her in his left arm, butted in among the crew like an infuriated bull. Some of the men, shamefaced, made way for them. Hosier reached her. She thought he said to the captain: "There's a chance, if we can swing her clear."
As he threw one leg over the sill, he thrust his hand into his breast pocket and drew out a small, dark object. "'Murder! he's drawing a pistol! roared Fred in terror; and turning hastily to fly, he ran against me in the doorway, and we both fell sprawling upon the floor. "'Robbers! fire! shrieked Fred. 'Here's another one! and darting into an opposite room, he crawled under the bed there.
Billy swung his right for his foe's jaw a terrible blow that would have ended the fight had it landed but the man side-stepped it, and Billy's momentum carried him sprawling upon his face. When he regained his feet the "white hope" was waiting for him, and Billy went down again to lie there, quite still, while the hand of the referee marked the seconds: One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.

But what curtain could hold up against the continued pressure of three stout boys? There was nothing that such a curtain could do but come down; and this it did, the three boys sprawling at the base of the stem of the Last Rose of Summer in other words, at Wort's feet! Wort, in turn, was ignominiously night-capped by the sheet, for it completely covered him.
Miss Abbott was likewise attended by numerous relatives, and the sight of so many people talking at once and saying such different things caused Lilia to break into ungovernable peals of laughter. "Quite an ovation," she cried, sprawling out of her first-class carriage. "They'll take us for royalty. Oh, Mr. Kingcroft, get us foot-warmers."
But it was a sprawling crescent around the central section, harder to handle than the Municipal territory. Bruce Gordon was sworn in at once. Then he cooled his heels while the florid, paunchy ex-politician Commissioner Crane worried about his rating and repeated how corrupt Mars was and how the collection system was over absolutely over.
Just then one of the cart wheels came off and down went the vehicle on one side, spilling me and the driver on the road. I was quickly on my feet, but he lay on his back sprawling in the sand. "That's a judgment," said he, "on your blasphemies." "You seem to have got the worst part of the judgment," said I. I asked him if I could help him.
