The news went about the vessel, champagne was ordered, and enthusiastic reception instituted in the smoking room, and everybody flocked thither to shake hands with the conqueror. The wheelman said afterward, that the Admiral stood up behind the pilot house and "ripped and cursed all to himself" till he loosened the smokestack guys and becalmed the mainsail. The Admiral's power was broken.
Boys ran about in the roadway with bunches of brasses, to check the wheels, and put them for safekeeping in what had once been the stable-yards of the hotels; the restaurants had racks for them, where you could see them in solid masses, side by side, for a hundred feet, and no shop was without its door-side rack, which the wheelman might slide his wheel into when he stopped for a soda, a cigar, or a sandwich.
"P-l-e-a-s-e, s-i-r, I d-i-d-n't t-r-y t-o d-o i-t," I falter, in a weak, gasping voice that brings tears to the eyes of the assembled officers and melts the captain's heart, so that he is already wavering between justice and mercy when a local wheelman comes gallantly to the rescue, and explains my natural ignorance of Cleveland's city laws, and I breathe the joyous air of freedom once again.
Twelve miles from Benares, on the East Indian Kail way, is Mogul Serai, to which I deem it advisable to wheel in the evening, by way of getting started without over-exertion at first. Two English railroad engineers are stationed at Mogul Serai, and each of them is a wheelman.
Frost, snorting at the air in irrepressible disdain, actually snapped her fingers in her would-be lodger's face. "Rooms indeed! Go to Brighting!" Whereupon the abashed wheelman went, whether to Brighton, as the irate lady suggested, or to a warmer place unmentionable history sayeth not. But St.

He kept his head and a small portion of his back next to it above the surface of the water, as the young hunters had seen in Sumatra before. "Full speed; give her a spurt, Wales," said the captain. The wheelman rang the speed-bell, and then spoke through the tube to the engineer.
"Slow her down, Wales," said Scott, after he had observed the situation of the saurian. The wheelman rang the jingle-bell, and the boat soon came down to half-speed. The five hunters, including Achang, had their rifles ready for use, though they still retained their seats.
Finally he bent one of the corners and showed it to the wheelman, whispering to him: "Let's have a little fun out of the old fellow." Aleck told me to mix 'em up, and offered to bet the drinks that he could turn up the old woman. "I've got two chances to your one," I replied; "but I'll go yer." He turned the wrong one, and I laughed, as did the wheel man.
The port door to the chart house was open, latched back against the side. She hesitated for a moment outside the high-beamed threshold hesitated because Captain Newton was not visible.
