"It's enough to drive one mad!" He went to the window and tried to open it, but the shutters were firmly fastened from the outside. By using a pencil, Yourii was able at last to unhook them, and with a creaking sound they swung back, admitting the cool, pure night air, Yourii looked up at the heavens and saw the roseate light of the dawn. The morning was bright and clear.
And, Jimmy," this to his pump tender, "unhook this breastplate, there won't be no divin', today. I've been mistrustin' the wind would haul ever since I got up this mornin'." The shoveller sprang from the platform and began clambering over the slippery, slimy rocks like a crab, his red shirt marked with the white "X" of his suspenders in relief against the blue water.
To his horror he discovered that two of the bombs had not fallen, but had caught in the running gear of his machine. To attempt a landing with the bombs in this position would have been suicidal. The bombs would have instantly exploded, and annihilated both machine and aviators. But to get out of the car, climb down on the wires, and try to unhook the bombs seemed more desperate still.
One day the King was passing through some of the large rooms of the palace, at a time of the morning when the courtiers had not yet made their appearance, and when carpenters and workmen were about, each busy in getting his work done. The King noticed a workman of some sort standing tiptoe on a double ladder, and reaching up to unhook a large chandelier from the ceiling.
I told Isaiah it would be drifted under this island; and now the horse is all beat out; and, besides, we don't know the way." "Well," said Jonas, "I'll hook the oxen on, and we'll soon get you to the land. Isaiah, you take your horse out of the sleigh." So Isaiah went to work to unhook the traces and the hold-backs, in order to get the horse free from the sleigh. "I'll get out," said the woman.
It was for cutting the thong by which the boat was fastened to a birch pole, the other end of which was hooked on shore. This was to save his going ashore to unhook the pole. It was well for him that boat-chains were not in use, owing to the scarcity of metal in that region. The clink of a chain would certainly have been heard.
One by one the gun teams swung in a half circle, each dropped its mud-spattered gun, the cannoneers sprang to unhook the trails, the frantic, half-maddened horses were lashed to the rear. The Special Messenger rose quietly to her feet, and at the same instant a passing cannoneer turned and saw her in the doorway. "Hey!" he exclaimed; "what you doin' thar?"
On getting it into my hand to take it off the hook, what was my surprise to see it swell out till it became a perfect ball. "Mamayacu!" exclaimed Duppo. "No good eat." I thought he was right, for I certainly should not have liked attempting to feed on so odd-looking a creature. When going to unhook it I found that its small mouth was fixed in the meat.
"All right. And please unhook my dress there's a dear." Susan opened the door, stood on the threshold, all her dark passion in her face. "Ruth!" she cried. Ruth had turned her back, in readiness for the service the need of which had alone caused her to unbolt the door. At that swift, fierce ejaculation she started, wheeled round. At sight of that wild anger she paled. "Why, Susie!" she gasped.
"No; but go as much as you can, and you will get well the quicker." "All right," said Punch sadly. "'Bey orders; so here goes. But I do wish that the chap as gave me this bullet had got it hisself. I say, comrade," added the boy, after lying silent for a few minutes. "What is it? What do you want?" "Just unhook that there cord and hang my bugle on that other peg.
