Its velocity is equal to that of a swivel shot, and is as dangerous in its effect as a heavy artillery projectile." Many very curious instances are on record of the encounter of this fish with other fishes, or of their attacks upon ships.

The doctor dropped back into his swivel chair, the mottled volume still in his hand. "They aren't exactly books, Thea," he said seriously. "They're a city." "A history, you mean?" "Yes, and no. They're a history of a live city, not a dead one. A Frenchman undertook to write about a whole cityful of people, all the kinds he knew. And he got them nearly all in, I guess. Yes, it's very interesting.
The man motioned to the settee and Tom sat down while he seated himself in one of the swivel chairs. "Vell, vot's der matter?" he said, seeing Tom shiver. "I'm wet," said Tom; adding, "but I don't mind it." The man continued to look at him sharply. His questions were peremptory, short, crisp. "You had a vite jacket?" "Yes, sir. I made a kind of a life preserver out of it."

In the effort he took up an open paper from the desk before him, and, lifting it between Bartley and himself, feigned to be reading it. Bartley struck it out of his trembling hands.

"W'en de ham had be'n tuk off'n Dave, folks kinder stopped talkin' 'bout 'im so much. But de ham had be'n on his neck so long dat Dave had sorter got use' ter it.
He stepped inside, closing the door without re-locking it; and, using his flashlight now, moved forward, and entered a sort of inner office that was partitioned off from the rest of the room. There was a flat-topped desk here, a swivel chair, an armchair, a rather good drawing or two on the walls, and a soft yielding carpet underfoot.
For a long time after O'Higgins had gone the doctor rocked in his swivel chair, his glance directed at the map. In all his life he had never realized a dream; but the thought had never before hurt him. The Dawn Pearl. It did not seem quite fair. He had plugged along, if not happy, at least with sound philosophy. And then this girl had to sweep into and out of his life!

Soames skewered the document on to a number of other papers and hung up his hat. "I want to look at my Will and Marriage Settlement, Gradman."
