The pushpot lifted from the vehicle on which it rode, and the vehicle put on speed and got away from under it with frantic agility. The vehicle swerved to one side, and Joe stared with amazed eyes at the pushpot, some twenty feet aloft.

Bitterly he arraigned himself for disclosing his hand to Slue-Foot. That demon had forestalled him. No doubt by now he had the beads. Ten thousand devils pursue him! Dennison struck his hands together, and by and by a sleepy Chinese boy came scuffling along the corridor. "Talkee manager come topside," said Dennison. When the manager arrived, perturbed, Dennison explained the situation.
The Chinaman, gazing sad and speechless into the darkness of the hatchway, seemed to stand at the head of a yawning grave. "No catchee rain down there savee?" pointed out Jukes. "Suppose all'ee same fine weather, one piecie coolie-man come topside," he pursued, warming up imaginatively. "Make so Phooooo!" He expanded his chest and blew out his cheeks. "Savee, John? Breathe fresh air. Good. Eh?
"I knew I was going to scream!" The eye of Sin Sin Wa turned momentarily in her direction, but otherwise he did not stir a muscle. "Are you ready for us, Sin?" asked Sir Lucien. "All ready. Lola hate gotchee topside loom ready," replied the Chinaman in a soft, crooning voice. "Go ahead, Kilfane," directed Sir Lucien.

He entered the dark and ornate lobby of Pilgrim's Atlantic. Money was taken seriously here. He looked for the elevator. "Topside," Tom had said. When the elevator doors opened at the top floor, Oliver was disoriented by the orange carpet, the color-coordinated flowery wallpaper, and the sunny windows. A well-built maternal receptionist smiled from behind an antique table. Where was he?
Back in the foolish days before you married me, did that drug-addict girl friend of yours ever take you to a genuine orgy?" "As bad as that, hey?" She nodded emphatically and all of a sudden shivered violently. "Several shades worse," she said. "If they decide to come topside " She shot up. "Where are the kids?"
Around them, rays were undulating like sheets flapping in the wind, and among these I spotted, much to my glee, a Chinese ray, yellowish on its topside, a dainty pink on its belly, and armed with three stings behind its eyes; a rare species whose very existence was still doubted in Lacépède's day, since that pioneering classifier of fish had seen one only in a portfolio of Japanese drawings.
Well, Willoughby, do you take it, this nightmare that I thought was dead and buried a dozen times take it and study it over, from alow and aloft, from for'ard and aft, inside and outside and topside and 'tween-decks, from mast-head to keelson, from figure-head to jack-staff; study it and stay with it, and from out of your nineteen years' experience and you're no green apprentice-boy, Willoughby see if you can't construct an endorsement that will lay the damned ghost of it for good and all.
Malaria stalks abroad for her victims, and snatches everyone who dallies in his journey to the topside mountain village of Feng-shui-ling.
