But presently from behind their ranks a stone flew, and though it whizzed between the Empress and myself, and struck down a fisher, it showed that they had brought a new method into their attack, and it behoved us to take thought and meet it. I looked round me up and down the beach. There was no sign of a rescue.
The quick motion of the brute probably saved my life, for just as the animal sprang a shot was fired, and the ball whizzed in uncomfortable proximity to my head. I struck the spurs deeply into the brute's sides, and with a bound like lightning, he landed me on the bank of the stream; but as he did so, the soil yielded, and he fell, throwing me several feet from him.
It was a good shot; for they could see that the bullet barked the tree just where the Apache was standing; but apparently it did no harm to the Indian himself; for the answering shot of his rifle was prompt, and the bullet whizzed dangerously near. "That fellow's a cool hand!" said Pike. "Watch him, Jim, you're a little further that way. He'll be out again in a minute.
She whizzed by him in a big touring-car one afternoon as he stood on an "isle of safety" at the foot of the Champs Elysees. Cooley was driving the car. Brief as the glimpse was, Mellin had time to receive a distinctly disagreeable impression of this person, and to wonder how Heaven could vouchsafe the society of Madame de Vaurigard to so coarse a creature.
When the man's steps sounded a few feet from me, I said "Halt!" and, telling him his comrade was dead, proposed the terms I had offered the latter. There was a moment's silence: then a clicking sound, and finally a great flash of fiery light with a loud report, and the smell of smoke. By good luck I had flattened myself against the wall before speaking, and the charge whizzed past me.
"Tell me we're going into the line in a day or two." "There's been a devil of a lot of artillery going up the road; French, British, every old kind." "Tell me they's raisin' hell in the Oregon forest." They walked slowly across the road. A motorcycle despatch-rider whizzed past them. "It's them guys has the fun," said Chrisfield. "I don't believe anybody has much." "What about the officers?"
The woman flung both arms before her face and cried out; then leaned rapidly aside as a pointed knife whizzed past her head and struck twanging in the wall behind her. The man sprang forward, and the next instant the room was chaos, for Dawson, tingling to his extremities, stepped in and spread him out with a crashing blow on the head. The "idol" was his weapon.
"Oh, Priam," she protested, "how tiresome you are!" "I've travelled more than you have." He tried to laugh. "Yes, and fine travelling it must have been, too! However, if you don't mind the luggage being lost, I don't." During this she was collecting the crockery on a tray, with which tray she whizzed out of the room.
With that, he passed out of the studio, walked down the hall, and went out of the house. And half a minute later, when the superintendent joined him, he found him sitting in the limousine and staring fixedly at his toes. "My dear Cleek, did you find anything?" he queried as he took a seat beside him, and the motor swung out into the road and whizzed away.
Without moving his feet, he dropped to a sitting posture, instantly popping up again like a jack-in-the-box. The movement took place at precisely the right instant, and both the javelin and arrow whizzed over his head, without grazing him, but the arrow shot by Long's temple so close that he blinked and for an instant believed he had been hit.
