Frank Nelsen felt the dust crunch under the rubberized boot-soles of his Archer. There was a brief walk, then a pause. Rodan pointed to a pit dynamited out of the dust and lava rock, and to small piles of greyish material beside six-inch borings rectangularly spaced over a wide area. "There is an extensive underlying layer of gypsum, here," he said. "The water-bearing rock.
There is no compulsion on you to marry Alec, and the Byzantine Saint Peter still hangs in the cathedral. Let any one so much as hint that you are throwing yourself at Alec's head, and I shall have the hinter dynamited. No, no, my Joan, we may yield to higher powers; but we do not abandon our pilgrimage because it is shared by an old scamp of a father whose sole anxiety is to fleece his son.
The railway line between Swakopmund and Karibib, broken up by dynamited bridges, had been to a great extent repaired. The poorly rationed troops were now replenished. The horses, badly knocked up after the rush through to Windhuk, had had opportunity to mend a bit.
He spoke through the ensuing greater darkness: "I heard that your dam wasn't holding very well." "Not very well," Farwell agreed, struggling with his temper. "Perhaps you heard that it was dynamited?" "I think I've heard most of the rumours," Dunne responded calmly. "I have no doubt of that," Farwell observed with meaning.

There were orders posted all about that one must not build fires indoors nor burn lights at night. Those who disobeyed would be shot. The orders were signed by Mayor Schmitz. Saloons had been closed for an indefinite period. Two men, found looting the dead, had been summarily executed by military order. Hundreds of buildings were being dynamited.
He was a fascinating companion, with the rollicking freedom of a schoolboy. I never shall forget an immense meeting in behalf of a liquor prohibition movement held in Triplet Hall. Mr. Beecher was at his best. In the midst of his speech, he suddenly discharged a bombshell against negro slavery which dynamited the audience and provoked a thunder of applause.
In the foreground, at their feet, lay the heaped débris of the bricks, timbers, and contents of a whole row of dynamited buildings the sacrificed buildings which by their own destruction had checked the conflagration at the last.
And if one of our shell factories was in danger of being dynamited, here was my cue to make a medal play, wa'n't it? "I am for telephoning the authorities at once," announces Cecil. "Ah, you don't know our bonehead cops," says I. "Besides, if we can block the game ourselves, what's the use? Let's get 'em in the act. I'm going to pipe off our friend with the meat-knife."
