No sooner had Roy encompassed McNamara's waist from the rear than he slid his damaged hand up past the other's chest and around the back of his neck, thus bringing his own left arm close under his enemy's left armpit, wedging the receiver's head forward, while with his other hand he grasped the politician's right wrist close to the revolver, thus holding him in a grasp which could not be broken.
Several of the British ships were badly damaged, one of which was in a sinking condition and had to be burned.

The fishermen of the North Sea had cause to remember that night, for one of the worst gales of the season burst upon them. Fishing was impossible. It was all that they could do to weather the gale. Sails were split and torn, rigging was damaged, and spars were sprung or carried away. The wind howled as if millions of wicked spirits were yelling in the blast.

"Did they get Wyndham in all right?" he asked. "Yes." "Was he much damaged?" "Very little. You got it worse than he did."
She had it on when we were out walking together, and well, it became damaged and I asked her to let me take it to have it repaired." "Nothing very complicated or troublesome in that.
