Nat. prescribes to make a Capon very tame and familiar, so as to take Meat out of one's Hand; then about Evening-time pluck the Feathers off his Breast, and rub the bare Skin with Nettles, and then put the Chickens to him, which will presently run under his Breast and Belly; the Chickens then rubbing his Breast gently with their Heads, perhaps allay the slinging and itching occasioned by the Nettles, or perhaps they may contribute to warm that part where the Feathers are away: however, the bare part must be rubb'd with Nettles three or four Nights successively, till he begins to love and delight in the Chickens.
Smut had two severe gashes in the throat, Lena was cut under the ear, and Bran's mouth was opened completely up to his ear in a horrible wound. The dogs were completely exhausted, and lay panting around their victim. We cut off the boar's head, and, slinging it upon a pole, we each shouldered an end and carried it to the kennel. The power of this animal must have been immense.
In the brassy, yellow glare every branch above threw so black and solid a shadow that the men involuntarily raised their feet to step over them. "The palm makes an excellent hat-rack," said Scott, slinging his revolver and his water-bottle over the little upward-pointing pegs which bristle from the trunk. "As a shade tree, however, it isn't an unqualified success.
"Now I see where you and me can take a hand in." "Yes?" said Seaforth thoughtfully. Horton nodded. "It was Damer who recorded your claim." "Damer?" said Seaforth. "That was the man Harry pitched into the river at Somasco." Horton chuckled. "You're right. Harry's just a trifle too handy at slinging folks into rivers and down stairways.
We carefully laid them outside for the squirrels; then, slinging our knapsacks, we took a last look round the little place, and locked the door. Our way lay up the hill, across the pasture and through the beeches, toward the sky-line. We stood still a moment, gazing at the well-loved landscape. Then we turned and breasted the hill. "Allons!" cried Colin. "Allons!" I answered. "Allons!
I used to be very fond of slinging, ever since I read of David slaying Goliath the Philistine, and I was once thought to be expert at it." So I set to work to manufacture a sling. For a long time we all worked very busily without speaking. At length Peterkin looked up. "I say, Jack, I'm sorry to say I must apply to you for another strip of your handkerchief to tie on this rascally head with.
That also was uninteresting and far-fetched. Nothing that Germany had done mattered the least. There was no use in arguing and slinging wild expressions about; it was a stale subject altogether when you were within earshot of that incessant booming of guns.
Even that great lump of iron, which must be part of some machinery, there it is, surrounded by a shouting horde of men, all slinging it up by their own little ropes, all giving a hand to carry the great mass along. We have gathered very little of China in our short time at the ports, but we shall be able to get a better idea of Japan.
I remembered that near at hand was a tree, with branches at a height from the ground to which I could reach. I searched about for it, and found it was close at hand. Slinging my rifle over my shoulder for I felt the importance of not abandoning it I caught hold of the lowest branch, and, hauling myself up, got my feet upon it.
The Surat Castle in which I was doomed to sail, was most dreadfully crowded; men literally slept upon one another, and in the orlop-deck the standing beds were three tiers high, besides those slinging. Added to this, the seeds of a pestilential disease had already been sown.
