The young ladies wanted to gather some, and the men filled every available place in the boat with these and the swamp pinks. On our return we picked up the alligator, making a line fast to him, and towing him down to the bridge. We made a landing under the bluff, and hauled the reptile out of the water. He was about five feet long. Buck pried his mouth open, so that the ladies could see his teeth.

"We'll get you all you want, Mother Izan," she called back; "there's ever so much of it up here among the rocks." "I should like to know," queried Roger as they pulled and pried at the queer twisted roots, "why they call this Solomon's Seal.

It was very like a comic opera, I thought, as I lay flat on the edge of the thicket and pried away a small opening in the tangle through which I could look down upon the sweep of beach below me and far out to sea.
You were a bloody mess, to put it mildly, with more than a few splinters adding color. But I could see your manly beauty wasn't gone forever. We pried you loose from the rocket and stretched you out on the lawn.
