"I had been to the front," he said, "and a mile or so behind the line a German aëroplane overtook the automobile. He flew low, with the evident intention of dropping a bomb on us. The chauffeur, becoming excited, stalled the engine. At that moment the aviator dropped the first bomb, killing a sow and a litter of young pigs beside the car and breaking all the glass.
Had the train pulled down there the situation of the crew and passengers would have been much better. They would not have been stalled in this drifted cut. Cliffdale, to which Uncle Dick and his party were bound, was twenty miles and more ahead. The roadbed was so blocked that it might be several days before the way would be opened to Cliffdale.
Tom told him about the stalled auto and what he wanted. "How much'll ye give?" shot in the farmer, right to the point. "What do you ask to drag the machine to town to the Corners, I mean?" "If it's where ye say it is, ten dollars!" "All right," agreed the boy. "Your wife knows I have the money. I'll pay you when we get to the Corners." "I know ye got the money," said the woman.
A donkey engine would have stalled trying to pull Johnny around to the front porch, after that bald hint. As it happened, Mary V was not taking any chances. She was not on the front porch, but down at the airplane, snubbing Bland most unmercifully and waiting for Johnny.
The next moment they were descending rapidly. With hardly more noise than an alighting night bird, they dropped into the lane in which the auto was stalled. As they touched ground the sound of harsh voices caught their ears: "Shell out now, if you don't want to be half-killed!" "Yes, come on. Hand over your coin, or it'll be the worse for you," chimed in another ruffianly voice.
There must be peace, mutual forbearance, mutual help, and a disposition to make the best of everything. "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith." Comfortable people are persons of common sense, discretion, prudence, and economy. They have a natural affinity for honesty and justice, goodness and truth.
"The doctor is afraid the crust may melt, and then he'll be stalled here with his outfit. "Those men over there?" inquired Reade, as the pung stopped, and the five men got out "Two of them look familiar to me." "I reckon," nodded Jim Ferrers. "They're officers -all of 'em. They've come over here to hunt the rocks to the south of here.
A red mist spread between him and the line of electric lights. He knew Schwitter's, and he knew Wilson. He flung himself into his car and threw the throttle open. The car jerked, stalled. "You can't start like that, son," one of the men remonstrated. "You let 'er in too fast." "You go to hell!" Joe snarled, and made a second ineffectual effort.
Going out to the scene of difficulty I found the wagon at the base of a steep hill, stalled.
Ever arose the increasing tale of famine on the Inside. The last grub steamboats up from Bering Sea were stalled by low water at the beginning of the Yukon Flats hundreds of miles north of Dawson. In fact, they lay at the old Hudson Bay Company's post at Fort Yukon inside the Arctic Circle. Flour in Dawson was up to two dollars a pound, but no one would sell.
