As Captain Barker yelled it out, a broad flame illumined the cabin, and the crash of broken glass and rending timbers mingled with a roar that shook the seas for miles. And in the light of this thunderous broadside Captain Salt rose slowly, lifted his arms, swayed and dropped forward, striking the table with his brow; then slid down upon the floor, stone-dead.
There was a shuffling of feet outside, and Ted knew that they were turning a body over. "Yes, he's stone-dead." "Pore Dick! He had his faults, but he was a good pal." "He wuz, but too derned soft-hearted. He didn't want ter kill a feller in cold blood never." "An' yet he wa'n't no coward.
The tide was at flood, the current strong, and it was swept away at once." "What was the prisoner's conduct on the terrace?" "He fainted stone-dead before he was there five minutes. They had to carry him lifeless to the house." "Was it not on that occasion the scabbard marked with his initials was discovered?" "It was. One of the men picked it up.
There is above us, and around us, and beneath us, and within us the eternal world, and we are all sound asleep; we are all stone-dead in the midst of it.
But what he took was by right of eminent domain; and was he not to resuscitate a theme and make it immortal, because some botcher had tried his hand upon it before, and left it for stone-dead?

He picked it up, held it, with a devilish grin, to the lips of Hubert, and then, as the poor wretch involuntarily inclined his head forward to reach it, he snatched it back and took a long gulp himself. At the same instant he uttered a loud cry, clutched wildly at his own throat, and fell stone-dead upon the floor. His comrade stared at him in horror and amazement.
"Yes, and little Billy has killed an Indian stone-dead too dead to skin," said one of the men, who had approached nearer than the rest, and had almost stumbled over the corpse. From that time forward I became a hero and an Indian killer. This was, of course, the first Indian I had ever shot, and as I was then not more than eleven years of age, my exploit created quite a sensation.
Grewgious stone-dead any day. The largest fidelity to a trust was the life-blood of the man.

Even its comforts were limited to its being dry and warm, and having a snug though faded fireside.
"Stone-dead!" was the brief answer. "Good God!" the station-master muttered. "Good God!" The doctor had thrown his handkerchief over the dead man's face. He was standing now looking at him thoughtfully. "Did he die in his sleep, I wonder?" the station-master asked. "It must have been horribly sudden! Was it heart disease?" The doctor did not reply for a moment.
