Johnny had slipped from the slimy edge of the chasm, and happened to fall fairly into the expanded jaws of the chama, which, had instantly closed upon him. If the water had been deeper, the consequences might have been serious, as there are instances of persons being drowned, by having their feet caught in the vice-like grip of this formidable bivalve.
"John Randolph!" "Rege!" The two men stood facing each other with hands held in a vice-like grasp, all unconscious of what was going on around them in the street. "Where did you come from?" "Where have you been?" John laughed. "In and around Marlborough all the time, except when I went to New York for my degree." "And never let us hear a word from you all these years!"
"So, girl!" he exclaimed, making one stride forward and catching the frail wrist in a vice-like grasp which almost extorted a cry of pain "so, my daughter, thou hast come in from this midnight tryst with thy lover! And what dost thou think is the reward a father bestows upon a daughter who leaves his house at this dead hour of the night to meet the man he has bidden her eschew for ever?"
He saw a long, fustian-clad arm follow the scarred thumb, and a hand grope all over the table. "Curse me," a foggy voice whispered, hoarsely. "It ain't here. And the bloke told me " The voice said no more, for David grabbed at the arm and caught the wrist in a vice-like grip. Instantly another arm shot over the window and an ugly piece of iron piping was swung perilously near Steel's head.
Salamander, who understood well enough what he might expect, no sooner heard Dougall clambering over the barricade than he gathered himself up for a tremendous wriggle, but received such a fearful squeeze on the neck from the vice-like hand of his captor that he was nearly choked. At the moment a new idea flashed into his fertile brain.
He was staring straight before him, yet he knew somehow, as if by a sixth sense, that the shining eyes opposite ceased their watch with an angry flash; and he had scarcely spoken before he would have given anything to call back his irrevocable speech. His grandfather's puzzled will closed on the opinion with a vice-like grip, as if at a touch given to a powerful spring.
That sort of thing simply doesn't count with me." Sir Eustace held him in a vice-like grip. "Are you going to take it lying down then?" he questioned grimly. "I'm not going to fight you certainly." Scott's voice had a faint quiver of humour in it, as though he jested at his own expense. "Not that is in a physical sense. If you choose to resort to brute force, that's your affair.
Naturally he was constantly effervescing, both verbally and temperamentally, his snapping black eyes were never still, life played across his excitable, sunny boyish face like cloud shadows on a mountain landscape, whoever would speak to him at any length must catch him in a vice-like grip and hold his attention by main force.
It was a trap from which they might never escape. The suckers, thinking the submarine was perhaps a species of fish, like themselves, and one of their enemies, had fastened on it their fatal vice-like grip. To move through the water, with the weight of all that clinging flesh was impossible.
Before the fish had time to flee it was caught in Lutra's vice-like jaws and borne, struggling desperately and threshing the water into foam, to the bank. There the otter-cub killed her victim by severing the vertebræ immediately behind its gills. Otters well nigh invariably destroy large-sized fish by attacking them in this particular part.
