The arrow's deadliness depends not on its shocking power, which of course is low, but upon internal hemorrhage and the very peculiar fact that the admission of air in quantity into any part of the body cavity collapses the lungs. Furthermore, again unlike the bullet, the broad arrow seems to be as effective at the limit of its longest flight as at the nearer ranges.
Gilbert Warde was as much a born sportsman as he was a fighter, and he had stalked the fallow-deer in Stortford woods since he had been old enough to draw an arrow's head to his finger. Step by step, from tree to tree, with cat-like tread, he came nearer, amused by an almost boyish pleasure in his own skill.
What win we From faith and pious awe? to touch with prayers The tenants of yon azure realms on high, Were hard as with an arrow's point to pierce The silvery moon. Hid is the womb of time, Impregnable to mortal glance, and deaf The adamantine walls of heaven rebound The voice of anguish: Oh, 'tis one, whate'er The flight of birds the aspect of the stars!
Not one bright feather showed. Not a single sound came from the cage. Snowball and her kittens were curled up in their box. They were as quiet as mice. All three had red and blue ribbons around their necks. The pen with Arrow's name on it was empty. On the ground some grain was scattered. By the grain were three light gray feathers. But no living airplane could be seen.
To begin with the exit from Winchester: there in Jewry Street a Roman road overlies the older British way, not indeed exactly, but roughly, certainly as far as King's Worthy, whence it still shoots forth straight as an arrow's flight over hill over dale to Silchester.
And four hundred yards off the cannery wharf the Blackbird had dropped anchor and lay now, a dozen trolling boats clustered about her to deliver fish. "Slow up and stop abreast of that buyer," Gower ordered. The Arrow's skipper brought his vessel to a standstill within a boat-length of the Blackbird. "Why, that's Jack MacRae," Nelly Abbott exclaimed. "Hoo-hoo, Johnny!"
Bet stared at the girl with a threatening look. "It isn't nice to tease about things as serious as hidden treasure." "But the arrow's there," Joy answered. "Which way did it point?" asked Professor Gillette, the only one who seemed to credit Joy's story. "Why, really, I don't know. I never thought to notice.
"I think I'd better tow you to my dock," the young inventor said to Andy. "I can use some tools from the shop then, and by to-night I'll have the RED STREAK in running order." The breeze was in the right quarter, fortunately, and with the motor-boat dragging behind, the ARROW's owner put the nose of the sailing craft toward his home dock. When Tom reached his house he found that Mrs.
Yet I was afraid. I could give the Englishman no helping hand, no word of warning. Would he rise to the moment? He did. He turned his back upon us, Indian-fashion, and squatted in his blanket. He lost all suggestion of Singing Arrow's slim elasticity, and sat in a shapeless huddle. I laughed with relief. "Where is Singing Arrow now?" I twitted the priest. "Is this she?" The old priest peered.
She turned her eyes away at the question, and sat for a long time with that vacant look on her face as though seeing all her past; then suddenly she turned, and looking squarely at me, she said, "Me Red Arrow's squaw." I was amazed, but could not doubt her word, as she had told me the truth so far as I had investigated.
