But how can one see anything through this swirl of snow, that is almost as thick in the air as on the ground?" To their great joy the storm soon began to abate, and the wind to blow in gusts. They clambered to the highest point near them, and peered eagerly for some glimmer of light; but only a dim, wild scene, that quickly shaded off into utter obscurity, was around them.
Nilssen eyed wistfully a swirl of the yellow water which hid a sandbar, and, with a sigh, gave the quartermaster a course which cleared it. "Guess I don't like ructions myself," he said. "Hullo, what's up now? There are two of the passenger boys getting pushed off the forecastle-head by their own friends on to the main deck."
"Wait!" she exhorted Astounded at this cold-blooded counsel from his tender-hearted wife, he looked up, and followed the direction of her eagerly pointing hand. "Look!" she was exulting. "It'll all solve itself! See if it doesn't. Look! He can't shoot Laddie, after after " The Master was barely in time to see Lad swirl along the dock with express-train speed and spring far out into the lake.
On either side the enemy were rushing down the mole, and over the defences just forsaken by the Romans. Cæsar had been caught in the swirl of his men and carried along despite his resistance. He fell, and Drusus, who struggled to be near him, ran to his side. "We must escape, Imperator!" cried he, in his commander's ear.
It came; by 8.30 the rain had set in and steadily fell all day. The following morning we had our first accident. The steamer with the loaded canoe behind was rushing up a rapid. A swirl of water upset the canoe, and all our large packs were afloat. All were quickly recovered except a bag of salted skins. These sank and were seen no more. On October 9 we arrived at Fort Chipewyan.
There was a bright golden gleam as the oars dipped, and a swirl of phosphor fire at the stern like little wandering stars, when I heard the noise of oars and the creak of thole-pins, and I turned to look, thinking maybe some other was at the fishing, but the boat was heading for the port at the Point wrack-grown now, and only to be seen at low tide.
On the south side of the bar, from the sleepy town itself to the pilot station on the Signal Hill, there rises a series of smooth grassy bluffs, whose seaward bases touch the fringe of many small beaches, or start sheer upward from the water when the tide is high, and the noisy swish and swirl of the eager river current has ceased.
The pictures and the figures so impressed me, that I could see the beautiful colossus before me, and I kept on thinking about him for the next two hours; then I reached New York, and he dropped out of my mind. In the swirl and tumult of the hotel lobby I ran across Mr. Daly's comedian, the late James Lewis, of beloved memory, and I casually mentioned that I was going to call upon Mr.
"Runs like a charm, and hasn't missed an explosion since I took charge." "That's good," commented Mr. De Vere. "We'll need all the power we can get, to keep her head on to the waves, if this gets any worse." As he spoke there was a thundering crash on the deck above them, and a rush of water told that a big comber had come aboard, nearly burying the small craft in a swirl of green water.
The waves were choppy, and threw up small heads of foam like the swirl of cross-currents in a tide-rip. Stuart began to feel a little frightened. "Do you really think it will come here?" "Yes," said the botanist gravely, "I do. In fact I am sure of it. Barbados is full in the hurricane track, you know." "But why?" queried the boy. "I've always heard of West Indian hurricanes.
