But so had Tom Hagard, the faro-dealer, and Frank Sauter, who played poker over Sudden's, and Dick Bander, who got his money from Madame Blank because he happened to be a swashing slugger, and many another Tom, Dick, and Harry whose reputations were, to say the least, questionable.
Modestine herself was in high spirits, and broke of her own accord, for the first time in my experience, into a jolting trot that set the oats swashing in the pocket of my coat.
He reined up short and sat stunned in the saddle; and the singers continued to descend the hill without him. The song went to a rough, swashing, popular air; and long after the words became inaudible the swing of the music, rising and falling, echoed insult in the Prince's brain. He fled the sounds.
"Blast the boat! let it go!" cried Stubb at this instant, as a swashing sea heaved up under his own little craft so that its gunwale violently jammed his hand, as he was passing a lashing. "Blast it!" but slipping backward on the deck, his uplifted eyes caught the flames; and immediately shifting his tone he cried "The corpusants have mercy on us all!"
Athos drew a sharp poniard from his belt and cut the cord. The felucca went on, the boat continued stationary, rocked only by the swashing waves. "Come, Athos!" said D'Artagnan, giving his hand to the count; "you are going to see something curious," added the Gascon. Fatality.
The steel hull lay on its side on the foaming reef, a battered, crumpled shape, sadly different from the trim yacht that had left New York so short a time before.

I neglect my other work for that fellow of mine; he bags everything I think. I never light on a new thing, but 'Hullo! I cry, 'here's an idea for the book! If you are engaged on a big subject, all your thinking works into it or out of it." "M'yes," said Logan; "but that's a swashing way of putting it."
He thought the savage had some resemblance to Tom Brandon. He also saw by the light of the moon, near its first quarter, that while one party of savages were at work upon the Dartmouth, others were warping the Elenor and the Beaver to the dock. It was nearly low tide, and the waves were swashing the timbers beneath the wharf. Not far away lay the Romney with her cannon peeping from the portholes.
The captain held it by the string and dropped it neatly down through the bung-hole, as one drops a bucket into a well; its heavy point sank through the wine without any of that swishing and swashing which happens with a flat-bottomed, buoyant, wooden bucket, and he drew it up full and gleaming like a jewel.
We had a very ugly sea lashing us this morning the ship rolling so heavily as to awaken me frequently, though I sleep in a swinging cot; and the water swashing over the decks, and rushing by bucketsful down the companion-way, which we are obliged to keep open to avoid being smothered. Friday, December 19th. The gale continues with the tenacity of a norther, this being the third day.
