They seem, too, to go by certain wonderful rules and laws; perhaps they have a will and understanding in them. Instead of praying to a God whom we never saw, why not pray to the thunderclouds not to strike us dead, and to the seas and rivers not to sweep us away?
While at Vacovia I had observed, that although the mornings were calm, a strong wind generally arose at 1 P.M. from S.W. that brought a heavy sea upon the beach. I was now afraid that we should be subject to a gale before we could reach the opposite headland, as the rising swell betokened wind from the old quarter, especially as dark thunderclouds were gathering on the western shore.
Now the thunderclouds were piling on the horizon, and Cartwright could feel the electricity in the air. He went to Pop. "I got to have a rifle." "What for?" "You know," said Cartwright significantly. The hotelkeeper nodded. He brought out an old Winchester, still mobile of action and deadly.
Several large bloodhounds had ventured into the hall, and were crouching with a low whine at our feet. The huge carrion crows were the only living things which seemed to brave the approaching chubasco, and were soaring high up in the heavens, appearing to touch the black agitated fringe of the lowering thunderclouds.
She watched the gathering of the distant thunderclouds, which cast a deeper, more sombre shade upon the pines that girded the northern shores of the lake as with an ebon frame.

"My time is come. I shall die defending her." "Do you and all the servants save yourselves," he said to Dominique.
The weather being unsettled, and clouds and sunshine in the gusty sky, we saw in our little tour numberless Paul Potters the meadows streaked with sunshine and spotted with the cattle, the city twinkling in the distance, the thunderclouds glooming overhead.
She sat down close to an alder which overhung the bank. It was curious, but so it was, that her thoughts suddenly turned from the water and the thunderclouds and the blazing heat to Mr. Cardew, and it is still more strange that at that moment she saw him coming along the towing-path. In a minute he was at her side, but before he reached her she had risen. "Good morning, Miss Furze." "Mr. Cardew!
At last Earth cried in a husky voice to Jupiter, the ruler of the gods: "What have I done that this punishment should come? Slay me, or save my people from this burning!" Jupiter, from his seat in the thunderclouds, saw the danger the heavens and the earth were in, and hurled his lightnings at the rash driver. Phaeton fell dead from the chariot.
