When he returned to the hotel Kemp remarked that he looked as if he needed a drink, and suggested that Lister go with him and get one. "I need three or four drinks, but mean to go without," said Lister grimly. "I begin to understand how some men get the tanking habit." He started off across the plain, and coming back too late for lunch, found Kemp on the veranda.
He calls to me ve can't make it dat vay, ve don't make three-four yards a minute. Den I calls for him to let go, for I ban tanking he safe his life anyvay, svimmin' ashore vhere ve had our camp close by. Und vhat you tank he do, ma'am? He yell to me not be tam fool, dat vhat he do!
He has also invested about forty thousand dollars in iron tanking, in the oil region, and has now tankage for four hundred thousand barrels, in connection with others. Mr. Haldeman was married in 1840 to Miss Mary Ann Gaves, of Columbiana county.
The keeper of the hotel informed them that many of the Indians already were in town and were "tanking up." Harley found this to be true, and the red men failed to arouse in him either respect or admiration. If they had ever had any nobility of the wilderness, it was gone now, and they seemed to him a sodden, depressed, and repellent race.
And plase your honour, I take this opportunity of tanking your honour for the encouragement I got about that little clerk's place and here's a copy of my hand-writing I'd wish to show your honour, to see I'm capable and a scholard.

They tanked her cruel they did, and kept her under water till she was nigh gone. I came away; I couldn't stand it."
"It's not so much the money, but to feel he has cheated me and broken loose when I thought he was cured," she concluded. "He has been going steady, but now that brute has got hold of him he'll hang around the settlement, tanking and betting, for a week or two. Then he'll be slack and moody and leave the farm alone, and I'll have to begin the job again."
To-day, he informed me, he was tanking up in honor of Bolivar, the great South American Liberator. "'Ah, Bolivar! Great man, Bolivar! Waiter! "'Yes, sir! "'The same! "From Miss de Dear, 'midst smiles and tears, I gleaned that she had once adorned the stage, pursued always by the jealousy of her less-talented sisters.
Business seemed brisk in these, judging from the many mustangs that were tied to rails outside, patiently waiting for their masters who were "tanking up" within and accumulating their daily quota of "nose paint."
"So far he's braced up better than I expected; when a man's been tanking steadily, it's pretty drastic to put him through the total deprivation cure." "I wonder," Blake said thoughtfully, "whether it is a cure; we have both seen men who made some effort to save themselves go down. Though I'm a long way from being a philanthropist, I hate this waste of good material.
