In the second place on the Barrier Reef is found the 'Holothuria', from which the 'beche-de-mer' is prepared. It is a kind of sea-slug, averaging from one to over two feet in length, and four to ten inches in girth. In appearance, these sea-cucumbers are more repulsive, looking like flabby black or green sausages, and squirting out a stream of salt water when pressed.
The great wheel, which drove the whole machinery; the plash-mill, or, more properly, wauk-mill a word Robert derived from the resemblance of the mallets to two huge feet, and of their motion to walking with the water plashing and squirting from the blows of their heels; the beatles thundering in arpeggio upon the huge cylinder round which the white cloth was wound each was haunted in its turn and season.
Our lively interpreter went down on hands and knees and made an earnest examination, despite the squirting water. "Oh! I sees. All right now," he shouted, "heave away!" "Get out of the way, then," we cried, as we once more applied all our force to the winch. It turned with unexpected suddenness, the sluice flew up, and out came a straight column of water with extreme violence.
The precaution that he had taken to place himself behind the chair was wise. The blood, in squirting in front and on each side, had not reached him; only the hand that held the knife and the shirt-sleeve were splashed, but this was of no consequence.
When the latter vessel perceived the approach of this turtle-backed object, squirting little jets of black smoke as she replied to the orders from the repeller, there was great amazement on board. The crab had not been seen before, but as it came rapidly on there was no time for curiosity or discussion, and several heavy guns were brought to bear upon it.
He come up tame and squirting sewage like a dissolute porpoise, while I played him out where he'd get the thrash of the propeller. "'Help, he yells, 'I'm a drownding. "'Ten dollars and costs," says I, lettin' him under again. 'Do you know who you're drinkin' with this time, hey?
On the following Thursday you meet him again, and he is a car-conductor. Next week he will be squirting soda in a drug-store. It's the fault of these dashed magazines, with their advertisements of correspondence courses Are You Earning All You Should? Write To Us and Learn Chicken-Farming By Mail . . . It puts wrong ideas into the fellows' heads. It unsettles them. It was so in this case.
Peter or some long-legged crane that " "All right I'm coming." He had grabbed both sides of the ladder by this time, and with head in the crotch was sloshing ashore, the water squirting from the tops of his boots. "Shake! Mighty good of you fellows to come all the way down to see me. Here, you stone-cutter help me off with these boots. Marie's getting luncheon.
Scalding water squirting, fire, and the smash, smash of the guns! They smash when you're near! Like everything bursting to pieces! Wool won't stop it nothing! And me up here so near and so far! Der alte Barbarossa!" "Any other ships?" asked Smallways, presently. "Gott! Yes! We've lost the Karl der Grosse, our best and biggest.
And then, he was father's only living relative; so they named the first baby 'Gumswith' so that the family name should not die out you know." "My goodness!" exclaimed Janice, but whether because of the saddling of Gummy Carringford with such a name, or because of the squirting of onion juice into her left eye, she did not explain at the moment. "So Gummy is Gummy," sighed his sister.
