"Ease her when she pitches," is the word; and a little carelessness in letting her ship a heavy sea, might sweep the decks, or knock masts out of her. Friday, Nov. 7th. Towards morning the wind went down, and during the whole forenoon we lay tossing about in a dead calm, and in the midst of a thick fog.
No medicine that I can give you is going to perform any such miracle unless you help yourself. Nothing on earth that man has invented, or is likely to invent, can cure your disease unless by God's grace the patient pitches in and helps himself. Is that plain talk?" Quest nodded and reached shakily for the prescription; but the doctor withheld it.
He passed above it, and from my point of view was sharply outlined against the blue. At this distance of many years I can distinctly recall that image of a man in the sky, its head erect, its feet close together, its hands I do not see its hands. All at once, with astonishing suddenness and rapidity, it turns clear over and pitches downward.
Long before this sad sound had died away, the deep bass of the City Hall bell, the shrill tenor of the Post Office bell, and the intermediate pitches of the bells all over the city, had taken up the chorus of alarm. There was a rattle of engines, hose carriages, and hook-and-ladder trucks through the streets.

Such differences are extremely rare in the mercantile marine for similar speeds, but in war ships they are inseparable from the conditions of the engine design.
Judge, then, to what pitches of inflamed, distracted fury the minds of his more desperate hunters were impelled, when amid the chips of chewed boats, and the sinking limbs of torn comrades, they swam out of the white curds of the whale's direful wrath into the serene, exasperating sunlight, that smiled on, as if at a birth or a bridal.

'June 13, Sunday. 'The wind has not gone down, however. We make twelve pitches to the minute, and the poor cable must feel very sea-sick by this time.
"You see, Bill pitches baby around just as he likes, and so Azalea thinks she may do the same." "Then she did do that, and she dropped her, and maybe killed her!" Elise voiced her new theory with a fresh burst of grief, and the idea struck a chill to Patty's heart.
You must be very quiet and submissive when he pitches into you, and plead ignorance say you will be a good boy and not do it again, you know." "But have I really done anything very dreadful?" I inquired, more than half taken in by the young monkey's serious manner.
To stop a woodcock on the wing as it pitches over the willows is no simple thing, and he who does it handily is, in one respect, greater than he who ruleth a kingdom. And, at the table but why talk of the woodcock? There are other game birds for the eating, good in their various degrees, but the woodcock is not classed with them.
