It still stood erect with its withered branches stretching bare and angular away from the sea. About this the three Scots posted themselves, their backs to the corrugations of the rotting stump, and their swords ready in their hands to deal out death to whatever should attack them. Well might Malise declare the powers of evil were abroad that night.
A single fragment is ornamented with an S-shape coil of clay fastened to the corrugations in much the same way as in similar ware from the ruins near the Colorado Chiquito. The fragments of smooth ware show that they, too, had been made originally in the same way as coiled ware, and that their outer as well as their inner surface had been rubbed smooth before firing.
It is easy to believe in God there. And the stars and heaven seem very close. One thing died there forever for me my confidence in the man who writes the geography and who says that, representing the earth by an orange, the highest mountains are merely as the corrugations on its skin. On Cascade Pass is the dividing-line between the Chelan and the Washington National Forests.
In vain he sweeps his flukes with fearful strokes from side to side the bull-dogs of the sea come not within their range; in vain he tries to 'sound' there is a devil on each side of his jaws, their cruel teeth fixed firmly into his huge lips; perhaps two or three are underneath him tearing and riving at the great rough corrugations of his grey-white belly; whilst others, with a few swift, vertical strokes of their flukes, draw back for fifty feet or so, charge him amidships, and strike him fearful blows on the ribs with their bony heads.
Across the river the ragged edges of the rock buttes that flanked the water loomed somberly; beyond them the peaks of some mountains, miles distant, glowed with the subdued radiance of a moon that was just rising. Back in the direction from which the herd had come the ridges and depressions stretched, in irregular corrugations, as far as Sanderson could see.
The range of 100 yards requires a sight elevation of 450 yards, and the range of 200 yards requires all elevation of 650 yards. The DUMMY CARTRIDGE is tin plated and the shell is provided with six longitudinal corrugations and three circular holes. The primer contains no percussion composition. It is intended for drill purposes to accustom the soldier to the operation of loading the rifle.
The great water store of the earth is contained in two distinct realms in the oceans, where the fluid is concentrated in a quantity which fills something like nine tenths of the hollows formed by the corrugations of the earth's surface; and in the rocks, where it is stored in a finely divided form, partly between the grains of the stony matter and partly in the substance of its crystals, where it exists in a combination, the precise nature of which is not well known, but is called water of crystallization.
This whale has the blubber underneath the body lying in longitudinal corrugations, which, when hauled off the carcass at right angles to their direction, stretch out flat to four or five times their normal area.
As the clay was adhesive, each coil was attached to the one already formed by pinching or pressing together the connecting edges at short intervals as the winding went on. This produced corrugations or indentations marvelously resembling the stitches of basket-work.
"What was yu doin' to my cayuse afore yu come in?" Asked Buck. "Nothin'," replied the newcomer. "That was mine what I kicked in th' corrugations." "How is it yore ridin' the calico?" Asked the foreman. "I thought yu was dead stuck on that piebald." "That piebald's a goat; he's beein livin' off my pants lately," responded Hopalong.
