The cliffs, as I have already said, were too steep for descent. Nothing but a fly could have crawled down them. I turned to the craggy face of the mountain. There, surely, must be the entrance to the cave! For hours I clambered among the rocks, risking mangled limbs and sunstroke and found no cave. I came back at last, wearily, to the grave.
I didn’t happen to notice.” “No, o’ course not,” said Moggridge, sarcastically; “that there sunstroke you got in India prevented you, I suppose?” “Have a cigar?” To this overture Moggridge made no reply. Mr Beveridge laughed and continued lightly, “I had no idea you were so fond of exercise. I’d have given you a lead all round the park if I’d known.”
"You ought ter see me two weeks from now," he protested. "I get all sunburnt and hard hard as anything!" The young man was incredulous. "You were near getting sunstroke when I picked you up," he laughed. "If you're going to Hunter's Island why didn't you take the Third Avenue to Pelham Manor?" "That's right!" assented Jimmie eagerly.
Patty expected to go over to Mona's at five o'clock, but at about four Mona herself came flying over to "The Pebbles." She waved a yellow telegram, and before Patty heard what was in it, she divined that Mrs. Parsons had again postponed her arrival. And this was the truth. "Doctor fears sunstroke.
"Are you a candidate for sunstroke where IS your hat, Miss Judy?" Mr. Gillet asked. Judy shook back her dark tangle: "Sorrow a know I knows," she said "it's a banana the General is afther dyin' for, and sure it's a dead body I shall live to see misself if you've eaten all the oranges." Meg pushed the bag of fruit across the cloth to her, and tried to tilt her hat over her tell-tale eyes.
"What's the matter with you, man?" he was shouting. And I just stared into his face, like an ass, without saying a word. I seemed still incapable, you know, of actual, reasoning speech. "Are you damned well off your head?" he went on shouting. "Are you a lunatic? Have you had sunstroke? Speak, you gaping idiot!" I tried to say something; but the words would not come clearly.
The woods were so thick that the leggings of the huntsmen had to be of special strength. They were made of bull or boar hide, the hair worn outwards. Moccasins, or shoes for hunting, were made of dressed bull's hide. The clothes worn at sea or while out hunting were "uniformly slovenly." A big heavy hat, wide in the brim and running up into a peak, protected the wearer from sunstroke.
He would have been stupidly quiescent in his feeling of loathing and sickness had not an intense irritability in all his nerves tormented him into consciousness. 'I suppose this is the result of the sun a sort of sunstroke, he said, realizing an intolerable stiffness of his brain, a stunned condition in his head. 'This is hideous! he said. His arms were quivering with intense irritation.
It was easy to say what fate awaited most of them. College ended, they would be scattered like birds of passage throughout the wide world, some to fall by sunstroke in Africa, or be murdered by natives in China, others to become mining kings in the mountains of Peru, or heads of great factories in Siberia, thousands of miles from home and friends. The whole planet was their home.
John liked war, but he was not fond of the rapid changes of temperature up on the "roof of the world" in Afghanistan. During one twenty-four hours at Jellalabad, we had one man killed by a sunstroke, and another frozen to death on sentry duty in the night.
