One, tailing out behind the rest, was a lad that had gone from the hamlet to Dr. Livesey's; the rest were revenue officers, whom he had met by the way, and with whom he had had the intelligence to return at once.
First came a Paranymph thus adorned, then the learned Doctor holding fast to the leader's coat-tails; behind him the second Paranymph, and clinging to his coat the hero's father, with the whole procession of turbaned friends tailing after.
Then, having got the first gun on deck already prepared in Port Royal dockyard, by being encased in a stout cylindrical packing of planks we passed the bights of our two hawsers round it, one at each end, and with all hands tailing on except one, whom we set to watch as a sentinel proceeded to parbuckle it up the face of the cliff.
If you fly them to Spindrift no one will know that Marks has even arrived. Tom will try to make sure no one is tailing him, and he'll help you to lose any cars that might try to follow." "We can do it," Rick assured him. "I can land close to the city. I've done it before with pontoons." "Good. Ordinarily, I'd have an agent meet them, but my Newark man is in the woods with the Boy Scout group.
The town tailing off into weather-board boxes with tin tops, and old bark huts relics of the digging days propped up by many rotting poles. The men, when at home, mostly asleep or droning over their pipes or hanging about the verandah posts of the pubs., saying, ''Ullo, Bill! or ''Ullo, Jim! or sometimes drunk.

Certainly!" said I, tailing off from astonishment into understanding. The quiet humour of the man was delightful. I fetched a pistol out of my pocket and added gravely, "William, unless I am, in appearance as well as in fact, a prince's assistant aide-de-camp in half an hour, I'll blow your brains out. Now clear out, while I have a bath!" "Thankee, sir. It'll be all right now.
All his trouble was to keep them sufficiently hot behind him to prevent their turning off too soon. He ran cleanly, evenly, and springily; the tailless leader not five yards behind him; and the Pack tailing out over perhaps a quarter of a mile of ground, crazy and blind with the rage of slaughter. So he kept his distance by ear, reserving his last effort for the rush across the Bee Rocks.
Whether they had gone overboard I could not tell, but the thought made me look to myself while I might. Pulling myself along the jackstay until I reached the bunt, I managed to grasp a line that was tailing taut downward toward the deck.
