Breathless, I told him what I had seen and that we were all friends of Woodward's. Burnside thought a moment, and quickly made up his mind. "Come quick jump up here with me," he called. Then to the other men, "I'll be back soon. Wait here. Let her go!" I had jumped up and they spun the propeller.
It is not only in the woods that this enchanter carols, though perhaps he is native there. He sings in the most doleful places. The miser hears him and chuckles, and the days are moments. With no more apparatus than an ill-smelling lantern I have evoked him on the naked links. All life that is not merely mechanical is spun out of two strands: seeking for that bird and hearing him.
Then the girl said to herself: 'If that is all I am quite sure I can free my brothers. So she searched for a high tree, and when she had found one she climbed up it and spun all day long, never laughing or speaking one word.
A huge boulder lay directly in the middle of the channel, and against this the current broke with fury, laving its sides in foaming masses.

At these words he spun round on the floor like a bobbin, tore out his hair and beat his breast with rage, roaring so that the very walls trembled. "It is lucky for you that you have guessed.
On one of these occasions my incorrigible doll horrified me by winking at the audience and exclaiming, to their delight, "The bloke's got all the words on my back!" She then revolved out of my grasp, and spun slowly round on her stool. This unrehearsed effect quite brought the house down, and not to be outdone, I raised my small bowler repeatedly in acknowledgment!
"Wish we knew what." "Let's take no chances," Rip stated. "Come on." The men were already in the boat. He and Koa joined them. They stood at a window, watching the Connie's trail. The trail dwindled. Koa said, "Something's up!" Suddenly new fire shot from one side of the cruiser, and it spun.
The outer world seemed remote and trivial, the passengers unreal the priest, the voluble merchant, the jovial Captain, all spun like dead things at the periphery of life; whereas he was moving toward the Center. Stahl ! the thought of Dr. Stahl, alone intruded with a certain unwelcome air of hindrance, almost as though he sought to end it, or call a halt.
