Vast quantities of shells were being brought up to the rail-heads and stacked in the "dumps."
When the girl came out she found that Raft had collected the things to be taken in one bundle tied up in a blanket. He had also set out breakfast. The remainder of the stores he had stacked at the back of the cave where he slept. These stores, with what was still in the cache, would be useful if they had to come back to the beach. "But what am I to carry?" asked she.
He glanced at the unusual number of wolves' heads hung on the door and thought of those still living in the woods. The guns stacked by the doorway suggested lurking Indians. His fear for little Jane's safety so increased that he became restless and soon received a sharp rap on the shins from the tything man.
Now that Appleton had time to collect himself he, too, grew sick with suspense, for he knew that arms had been stacked inside the barricades. Any instant might bring them into play.

I never thought I'd live to such an age."

They went noiselessly across the uneven floor, and reaching the boards, found, as the Weasel had said, a narrow opening in the floor. As the three neared the bottom of the ladder, a scream, muffled and choked but full of agony, sounded close to them.
The gambler stacked a roll of twenty-dollar pieces, added one to them, and thrust them at Johnny. I had not realized that the astounding luck of winning off a single number had befallen him. "Ten to one two hundred and twenty dollars!" he muttered to me. The other three players were laying their bets for the next turn of the wheel.
I've sent him one small lot of ivory a year ago, so that he can't call me a little thief when I get back. I hope he got it. And for the rest I don't care. I had some wood stacked for you. That was my old house. Did you see? "I gave him Towson's book. He made as though he would kiss me, but restrained himself.
