| 0001|Author of the danger trail, Philip Steels, etc. | |
| 0002|Not at this particular case, Tom, apologized Whittemore. | |
| 0003|For the twentieth time that evening the two men shook hands. | |
| 0004|Lord, but I'm glad to see you again, Phil. | |
| 0005|Will we ever forget it. | |
| 0006|God bless 'em, I hope I'll go on seeing them forever. | |
| 0007|And you always want to see it in the superlative degree. | |
| 0008|Gad, your letter came just in time. | |
| 0009|He turned sharply, and faced Gregson across the table. | |
| 0010|I'm playing a single hand in what looks like a losing game. | |
| 0011|If I ever needed a fighter in my life I need one now. | |
| 0012|Gregson shoved back his chair and rose to his feet. | |
| 0013|He was a head shorter than his companion, of almost delicate physique. | |
| 0014|Now you're coming down to business, Phil, he exclaimed. | |
| 0015|It's the aurora borealis. | |
| 0016|There's Fort Churchill, a rifle-shot beyond the ridge, asleep. | |
| 0017|From that moment his friendship for Belize turns to hatred and jealousy. | |
| 0018|There was a change now. | |
| 0019|I followed the line of the proposed railroad, looking for chances. | |
| 0020|Clubs and balls and cities grew to be only memories. | |
| 0021|It fairly clubbed me into recognizing it. | |
| 0022|Hardly were our plans made public before we were met by powerful opposition. | |
| 0023|A combination of Canadian capital quickly organized and petitioned for the same privileges. | |
| 0024|It was my reports from the north which chiefly induced people to buy. | |
| 0025|I was about to do this when cooler judgment prevailed. | |
| 0026|It occurred to me that there would have to be an accounting. | |
| 0027|To my surprise he began to show actual enthusiasm in my favor. | |
| 0028|Robbery, bribery, fraud, | |
| 0029|Their forces were already moving into the north country. | |
| 0030|I had faith in them. | |
| 0031|They were three hundred yards apart. | |
| 0032|Since then some mysterious force has been fighting us at every step. | |
| 0033|He unfolded a long typewritten letter, and handed it to Gregson. | |
| 0034|Men of Selden's stamp don't stop at women and children. | |
| 0035|He stopped, and Philip nodded at the horrified question in his eyes. | |
| 0036|She turned in at the hotel. | |
| 0037|I was the only one who remained sitting. | |
| 0038|We'll have to watch our chances. | |
| 0039|The ship should be in within a week or ten days. | |
| 0040|I suppose you wonder why she is coming up here. | |
| 0041|Meanwhile I'll go out to breathe a spell. | |
| 0042|How could he explain his possession of the sketch. | |
| 0043|It seemed nearer to him since he had seen and talked with Gregson. | |
| 0044|Her own betrayal of herself was like tonic to Philip. | |
| 0045|He moved away as quietly as he had come. | |
| 0046|The girl faced him, her eyes shining with sudden fear. | |
| 0047|Close beside him gleamed the white fangs of the wolf-dog. | |
| 0048|He looked at the handkerchief more, closely. | |
| 0049|Gregson was asleep when he re-entered the cabin. | |
| 0050|In spite of their absurdity the words affected Philip curiously. | |
| 0051|The lace was of a delicate ivory color, faintly tinted with yellow. | |
| 0052|It was a curious coincidence. | |
| 0053|Suddenly his fingers closed tightly over the handkerchief. | |
| 0054|There was nothing on the rock. | |
| 0055|Philip stood undecided, his ears strained to catch the slightest sound. | |
| 0056|Pearce's little eyes were fixed on him shrewdly. | |
| 0057|I have no idea, replied Philip. | |
| 0058|I came for information more out of curiosity than anything else. | |
| 0059|His immaculate appearance was gone. | |
| 0060|Anyway, no one saw her like that. | |
| 0061|Philip snatched at the letter which Gregson held out to him. | |
| 0062|The men stared into each other's face. | |
| 0063|Yes, it was a man who asked, a stranger. | |
| 0064|The fourth and fifth days passed without any developments. | |
| 0065|They closed now until his fingers were like cords of steel. | |
| 0066|He saw Jeanne falter for a moment. | |
| 0067|Surely I will excuse you, she cried. | |
| 0068|In a flash Philip followed its direction. | |
| 0069|It was his intention to return to Eileen and her father. | |
| 0070|He would first hunt up Gregson and begin his work there. | |
| 0071|What was the object of your little sensation. | |
| 0072|But who was Eileen's double. | |
| 0073|The promoter's eyes were heavy, with little puffy bags under them. | |
| 0074|And now, down there, Eileen was waiting for him. | |
| 0075|There has been a change, she interrupted him. | |
| 0076|The gray eyes faltered; the flush deepened. | |
| 0077|It is the fire, partly, she said. | |
| 0078|Then, and at supper, he tried to fathom her. | |
| 0079|It was a large canoe. | |
| 0080|What if Jeanne failed him. | |
| 0081|What if she did not come to the rock. | |
| 0082|His face was streaming with blood. | |
| 0083|A shadow was creeping over Pierre's eyes. | |
| 0084|Scarcely had he uttered the name when Pierre's closing eyes shot open. | |
| 0085|A trickle of fresh blood ran over his face. | |
| 0086|Death had come with terrible suddenness. | |
| 0087|Philip bent lower, and stared into the face of the dead man. | |
| 0088|He made sure that the magazine was loaded, and resumed his paddling. | |
| 0089|The nightglow was treacherous to shoot by. | |
| 0090|The singing voice approached rapidly. | |
| 0091|His blood grew hot with rage at the thought. | |
| 0092|He went down in midstream, searching the shadows of both shores. | |
| 0093|For a full minute he crouched and listened. | |
| 0094|He had barely entered this when he saw the glow of a fire. | |
| 0095|A big canvas tent was the first thing to come within his vision. | |
| 0096|Perhaps she had already met her fate a little deeper in the forest. | |
| 0097|Then you can arrange yourself comfortably among these robes in the bow. | |
| 0098|Shall I carry you. | |
| 0099|A maddening joy pounded in his brain. | |
| 0100|You must sleep, he urged. | |
| 0101|You, you would not keep the truth from me. | |
| 0102|He will follow us soon. | |
| 0103|But there came no promise from the bow of the canoe. | |
| 0104|She was sleeping under his protection as sweetly as a child. | |
| 0105|Only, it is so wonderful, so almost impossible to believe. | |
| 0106|The emotion which she had suppressed burst forth now in a choking sob. | |
| 0107|If you only could know how I thank you. | |
| 0108|He waded into the edge of the water and began scrubbing himself. | |
| 0109|Do you know that you are shaking my confidence in you. | |
| 0110|Much, replied Jeanne, as tersely. | |
| 0111|Instead, he joined her; and they ate like two hungry children. | |
| 0112|He was wounded in the arm. | |
| 0113|I suppose you picked that lingo up among the Indians. | |
| 0114|Her words sent a strange chill through Philip. | |
| 0115|He had no excuse for the feelings which were aroused in him. | |
| 0116|Was it the rendezvous of those who were striving to work his ruin. | |
| 0117|She added, with genuine sympathy in her face and voice. | |
| 0118|Pierre obeys me when we are together. | |
| 0119|Jeanne was turning the bow shoreward. | |
| 0120|My right foot feels like that of a Chinese debutante. | |
| 0121|They ate dinner at the fifth, and rested for two hours. | |
| 0122|Two years ago I gave up civilization for this. | |
| 0123|She had died from cold and starvation. | |
| 0124|It was Jeanne singing softly over beyond the rocks. | |
| 0125|He was determined now to maintain a more certain hold upon himself. | |
| 0126|Each day she became a more vital part of him. | |
| 0127|It was a temptation, but he resisted it. | |
| 0128|This one hope was destroyed as quickly as it was born. | |
| 0129|Her face was against his breast. | |
| 0130|She was his now, forever. | |
| 0131|Providence had delivered him through the maelstrom. | |
| 0132|A cry of joy burst from Philip's lips. | |
| 0133|Philip began to feel that he had foolishly overestimated his strength. | |
| 0134|He obeyed the pressure of her hand. | |
| 0135|I am going to surprise father, and you will go with Pierre. | |
| 0136|About him, everywhere, were the evidences of luxury and of age. | |
| 0137|Then he stepped back with a low cry of pleasure. | |
| 0138|In the picture he saw each moment a greater resemblance to Jeanne. | |
| 0139|He told himself that as he washed himself and groomed his disheveled clothes. | |
| 0140|Accept a father's blessing, and with it, this. | |
| 0141|It seems like a strange pointing of the hand of God. | |
| 0142|Such things had occurred before, he told Philip. | |
| 0143|Ah, I had forgotten, he exclaimed. | |
| 0144|But there was something even more startling than this resemblance. | |
| 0145|I have to be careful of them, as they tear very easily. | |
| 0146|Of course, that is uninteresting, she continued. | |
| 0147|A moment before he was intoxicated by a joy that was almost madness. | |
| 0148|Now these things had been struck dead within him. | |
| 0149|For an instant he saw Pierre drawn like a silhouette against the sky. | |
| 0150|Goodbye, Pierre, he shouted. | |
| 0151|And MacDougall was beyond the trail, with three weeks to spare. | |
| 0152|Philip thrust himself against it and entered. | |
| 0153|MacDougall tapped his forehead suspiciously with a stubby forefinger. | |
| 0154|He was smooth-shaven, and his hair and eyes were black. | |
| 0155|Won't you draw up, gentlemen. | |
| 0156|A strange fire burned in his eyes when Thorpe turned. | |
| 0157|He had worshiped her, as Dante might have worshiped Beatrice. | |
| 0158|Does that look good. | |
| 0159|They look as though he had been drumming a piano all his life. | |
| 0160|You want to go over and see his gang throw dirt. | |
| 0161|Take away their foreman and they wouldn't be worth their grub. | |
| 0162|That's the sub-foreman, explained Thorpe. | |
| 0163|Philip made no effort to follow. | |
| 0164|He came first a year ago, and revealed himself to Jeanne. | |
| 0165|They are to attack your camp tomorrow night. | |
| 0166|Two days ago Jeanne learned where her father's men were hiding. | |
| 0167|I was near the cabin, and saw you. | |
| 0168|Low bush whipped him in the face and left no sting. | |
| 0169|Suddenly Jeanne stopped for an instant. | |
| 0170|There was none of the joy of meeting in his face. | |
| 0171|And when you come back in a few days, bring Eileen. | |
| 0172|Gregson had left the outer door slightly ajar. | |
| 0173|The date was nearly eighteen years old. | |
| 0174|They were the presage of storm. | |
| 0175|Down there the earth was already swelling with life. | |
| 0176|For the first time in his life he was yearning for a scrap. | |
| 0177|She had been thoroughly and efficiently mauled. | |
| 0178|Every bone in her aged body seemed broken or dislocated. | |
| 0179|Tomorrow I'm going after that bear, he said. | |
| 0180|If not, let's say our prayers and go to bed. | |
| 0181|So cheer up, and give us your paw. | |
| 0182|This time he did not yap for mercy. | |
| 0183|And the air was growing chilly. | |
| 0184|Don't you see, I'm chewing this thing in two. | |
| 0185|The questions may have come vaguely in his mind. | |
| 0186|Like a flash he launched himself into the feathered mass of the owl. | |
| 0187|Ahead of them they saw a glimmer of sunshine. | |
| 0188|Two gigantic owls were tearing at the carcass. | |
| 0189|The big-eyed, clucking moose-birds were most annoying. | |
| 0190|Next to them the Canada jays were most persistent. | |
| 0191|For a time the exciting thrill of his adventure was gone. | |
| 0192|He did not rush in. | |
| 0193|It was edged with ice. | |
| 0194|He drank of the water cautiously. | |
| 0195|But a strange thing happened. | |
| 0196|He began to follow the footprints of the dog. | |
| 0197|Such a dog the wise driver kills, or turns loose. | |
| 0198|Sometimes her dreams were filled with visions. | |
| 0199|Thus had the raw wilderness prepared him for this day. | |
| 0200|He leapt again, and the club caught him once more. | |
| 0201|He cried, and swung the club wildly. | |
| 0202|She turned, fearing that Jacques might see what was in her face. | |
| 0203|They were following the shore of a lake. | |
| 0204|The wolf-dog thrust his gaunt muzzle toward him. | |
| 0205|From now on we're pals. | |
| 0206|He says he bought him of Jacques Le Beau. | |
| 0207|How much was it. | |
| 0208|Youth had come back to her, freed from the yoke of oppression. | |
| 0209|It was not a large lake, and almost round. | |
| 0210|Its diameter was not more than two hundred yards. | |
| 0211|It drowned all sound that brute agony and death may have made. | |
| 0212|Fresh cases, still able to walk, they clustered about the spokesman. | |
| 0213|Between him and the beach was the cane-grass fence of the compound. | |
| 0214|Besides, he was paid one case of tobacco per head. | |
| 0215|They die out of spite. | |
| 0216|The other felt a sudden wave of irritation rush through him. | |
| 0217|Oppressive as the heat had been, it was now even more oppressive. | |
| 0218|The ringing of the big bell aroused him. | |
| 0219|At first he puzzled over something untoward he was sure had happened. | |
| 0220|A dead man is of no use on a plantation. | |
| 0221|I don't know why you're here at all. | |
| 0222|What part of the United States is your home. | |
| 0223|My, I'm almost homesick for it already. | |
| 0224|She nodded, and her eyes grew soft and moist. | |
| 0225|I was brought up the way most girls in Hawaii are brought up. | |
| 0226|That came before my A B C's. | |
| 0227|It was the same way with our revolvers and rifles. | |
| 0228|But it contributed to the smash. | |
| 0229|The last one I knew was an overseer. | |
| 0230|Do you know any good land around here. | |
| 0231|The Resident Commissioner is away in Australia. | |
| 0232|I cannot follow you, she said. | |
| 0233|I never allow what can't be changed to annoy me. | |
| 0234|Why, the average review is more nauseating than cod liver oil. | |
| 0235|His voice was passionately rebellious. | |
| 0236|Don't you see I hate you. | |
| 0237|So Hughie and I did the managing ourselves. | |
| 0238|It happened to him at the Gallina Society in Oakland one afternoon. | |
| 0239|He cried in such genuine dismay that she broke into hearty laughter. | |
| 0240|Wash your hands of me. | |
| 0241|I think it's much nicer to quarrel. | |
| 0242|I saw it when she rolled. | |
| 0243|I only read the quotations. | |
| 0244|He was the soul of devotion to his employers. | |
| 0245|Out of his eighteen hundred, he laid aside sixteen hundred each year. | |
| 0246|You have heard always how he was the lover of the Princess Naomi. | |
| 0247|They ought to pass here some time today. | |
| 0248|I had been sad too long already. | |
| 0249|All eyes, however, were staring at him in certitude of expectancy. | |
| 0250|He had observed the business life of Hawaii and developed a vaulting ambition. | |
| 0251|I may manage to freight a cargo back as well. | |
| 0252|O'Brien had been a clean living young man with ideals. | |
| 0253|He it was that lived to found the family of the Patino. | |
| 0254|Straight out they swam, their heads growing smaller and smaller. | |
| 0255|You won't die of malnutrition, be sure of that. | |
| 0256|See the length of the body and that elongated neck. | |
| 0257|They are coming ashore, whoever they are. | |
| 0258|Soaked in seawater they offset the heat rays. | |
| 0259|Think of investing in such an adventure. | |
| 0260|Nobody knew his history, they of the Junta least of all. | |
| 0261|I have been doubly baptized. | |
| 0262|They wouldn't be sweeping a big vessel like the Martha. | |
| 0263|Joan looked triumphantly at Sheldon, who bowed. | |
| 0264|And I hope you've got plenty of chain out, Captain Young. | |
| 0265|The discovery seemed to have been made on the spur of the moment. | |
| 0266|They handled two men already, both grub-thieves. | |
| 0267|Eli Harding asked, as Shunk started to follow. | |
| 0268|Now go ahead and tell me in a straightforward way what has happened. | |
| 0269|That's where they cut off the Scottish Chiefs and killed all hands. | |
| 0270|And after the bath a shave would not be bad. | |
| 0271|Now please give a plain statement of what occurred. | |
| 0272|You can take a vacation on pay. | |
| 0273|They are big trees and require plenty of room. | |
| 0274|And Raoul listened again to the tale of the house. | |
| 0275|There are no kiddies and half grown youths among them. | |
| 0276|Oolong Atoll was one hundred and forty miles in circumference. | |
| 0277|McCoy found a stifling, poisonous atmosphere in the pent cabin. | |
| 0278|It would give me nervous prostration. | |
| 0279|She said with chattering teeth. | |
| 0280|I'll be out of my head in fifteen minutes. | |
| 0281|I do not blame you for anything; remember that. | |
| 0282|If you mean to insinuate -- Brentwood began hotly. | |
| 0283|The woman in you is only incidental, accidental, and irrelevant. | |
| 0284|There was no forecasting this strange girl's processes. | |
| 0285|But what they want with your toothbrush is more than I can imagine. | |
| 0286|Give them their choice between a fine or an official whipping. | |
| 0287|Keep an eye on him. | |
| 0288|Those are my oysters, he said at last. | |
| 0289|They are not regular oyster pirates, Nicholas continued. | |
| 0290|One by one the boys were captured. | |
| 0291|The weeks had gone by, and no overt acts had been attempted. | |
| 0292|Here, in the midmorning, the first casualty occurred. | |
| 0293|They were deep in the primeval forest. | |
| 0294|He had been foiled in his attempt to escape. | |
| 0295|And twenty men could hold it with spears and arrows. | |
| 0296|Bassett was a fastidious man. | |
| 0297|There's a big English general right now whose name is Roberts. | |
| 0298|This tacit promise of continued acquaintance gave Saxon a little joy-thrill. | |
| 0299|I tell you I am disgusted with this adventure tomfoolery and rot. | |
| 0300|From my earliest recollection my sleep was a period of terror. | |
| 0301|But all my dreams violated this law. | |
| 0302|It is very plausible to such people, a most convincing hypothesis. | |
| 0303|But they make the mistake of ignoring their own duality. | |
| 0304|I graduated last of my class. | |
| 0305|They had no fixed values, to be altered by adjectives and adverbs. | |
| 0306|He was pressing beyond the limits of his vocabulary. | |
| 0307|Very early in my life, I separated from my mother. | |
| 0308|His infernal chattering worries me even now as I think of it. | |
| 0309|White Leghorns, said Mrs Mortimer. | |
| 0310|Massage under tension, was the cryptic reply. | |
| 0311|Therefore, hurrah for the game. | |
| 0312|It lived in perpetual apprehension of that quarter of the compass. | |
| 0313|Broken-Tooth yelled with fright and pain. | |
| 0314|Thus was momentum gained in the Younger World. | |
| 0315|Saxon waited, for she knew a fresh idea had struck Billy. | |
| 0316|We had been chased by them ourselves, more than once. | |
| 0317|He was a wise hyena. | |
| 0318|Production is doubling and quadrupling upon itself. | |
| 0319|And the Edinburgh Evening News says, with editorial gloom. | |
| 0320|With my strength I slammed it full into Red-Eye's face. | |
| 0321|The log on which Lop-Ear was lying got adrift. | |
| 0322|This is a common experience with all of us. | |
| 0323|He considered the victory already his and stepped forward to the meat. | |
| 0324|It was not Red-Eye's way to forego revenge so easily. | |
| 0325|Whiz-zip-bang. Lop-Ear screamed with sudden anguish. | |
| 0326|Cherokee identified himself with his instinct. | |
| 0327|They were less stooped than we, less springy in their movements. | |
| 0328|The Fire People, like ourselves, lived in caves. | |
| 0329|Ah, indeed. | |
| 0330|Red-Eye never committed a more outrageous deed. | |
| 0331|Poor little Crooked-Leg was terribly scared. | |
| 0332|Unconsciously, our yells and exclamations yielded to this rhythm. | |
| 0333|This is no place for you. | |
| 0334|He'll knock you off a few sticks in no time. | |
| 0335|Red-Eye swung back and forth on the branch farther down. | |
| 0336|So unexpected was my charge that I knocked him off his feet. | |
| 0337|Encouraged by my conduct, Big-Face became a sudden ally. | |
| 0338|The fighting had now become intermittent. | |
| 0339|They obeyed him, and went here and there at his commands. | |
| 0340|It was like the beating of hoofs. | |
| 0341|Why, doggone you all, shake again. | |
| 0342|Seventeen, no, eighteen days ago. | |
| 0343|You mean for this State, General, Alberta. | |
| 0344|He seemed to fill it with his tremendous vitality. | |
| 0345|She was trying to pass the apron string around him. | |
| 0346|Get down and dig in. | |
| 0347|They are greatly delighted with anything that is bright or giveth a sound. | |
| 0348|They only lifted seven hundred and fifty. | |
| 0349|It was simple, in its way, and no virtue of his. | |
| 0350|Is that Pat Hanrahan's mug looking hungry and willing. | |
| 0351|It was more like sugar. | |
| 0352|I'm sure going along with you all, Elijah. | |
| 0353|Here the explosion of mirth drowned him out. | |
| 0354|Fresh meat they failed to obtain. | |
| 0355|A burst of laughter was his reward. | |
| 0356|You don't catch me at any such foolishness. | |
| 0357|A month passed by, and Bonanza Creek remained quiet. | |
| 0358|They continued valiantly to lie, but the truth continued to outrun them. | |
| 0359|Earth and gravel seemed to fill the pan. | |
| 0360|But he no longer cared quite so much for that form of diversion. | |
| 0361|But he did not broach it, preferring to mature it carefully. | |
| 0362|Nope, not the slightest idea. | |
| 0363|It is not an attempt to smash the market. | |
| 0364|We have plenty of capital ourselves, and yet we want more. | |
| 0365|These rumors may even originate with us. | |
| 0366|A wildly exciting time was his during the week preceding Thursday the eighteenth. | |
| 0367|There is not an iota of truth in it, certainly not. | |
| 0368|I just do appreciate it without being able to express my feelings. | |
| 0369|In partnership with Daylight, the pair raided the San Jose Interurban. | |
| 0370|He saw all men in the business game doing this. | |
| 0371|It issued a rate of forty two dollars a car on charcoal. | |
| 0372|He saw only the effect in a general, sketchy way. | |
| 0373|Points of view, new ideas, life. | |
| 0374|But life's worth more than cash, she argued. | |
| 0375|The butchers and meat cutters refused to handle meat destined for unfair restaurants. | |
| 0376|Your price, my son, is just about thirty per week. | |
| 0377|This sound did not disturb the hush and awe of the place. | |
| 0378|That's why its boundaries are all gouged and jagged. | |
| 0379|How old are you, daddy. | |
| 0380|But in the canyons water was plentiful and also a luxuriant forest growth. | |
| 0381|My name's Ferguson. | |
| 0382|Daylight found himself charmed and made curious by the little man. | |
| 0383|To his surprise, her answer was flat and uncompromising. | |
| 0384|The farmer works the soil and produces grain. | |
| 0385|That's what Carnegie did. | |
| 0386|I can't argue with you, and you know that. | |
| 0387|Bob, growing disgusted, turned back suddenly and attempted to pass Mab. | |
| 0388|It was my idea to a tee. | |
| 0389|Mab, she said. | |
| 0390|I'll go over tomorrow afternoon. | |
| 0391|But he reconciled himself to it by an act of faith. | |
| 0392|There is that magnificent Bob, eating his head off in the stable. | |
| 0393|Already he had begun borrowing from the banks. | |
| 0394|It's the strap hangers that'll keep us from going under. | |
| 0395|As for himself, weren't the street railway earnings increasing steadily. | |
| 0396|A rising tide of fat had submerged them. | |
| 0397|Call me that again, he murmured ecstatically. | |
| 0398|In the car were Unwin and Harrison, while Jones sat with the chauffeur. | |
| 0399|And here's another idea. | |
| 0400|Manuel had one besetting sin. | |
| 0401|The man smiled grimly, and brought a hatchet and a club. | |
| 0402|Curly rushed her antagonist, who struck again and leaped aside. | |
| 0403|His newborn cunning gave him poise and control. | |
| 0404|Perrault found one with head buried in the grub box. | |
| 0405|It seemed the ordained order of things that dogs should work. | |
| 0406|And that was the last of Francois and Perrault. | |
| 0407|Mercedes screamed, cried, laughed, and manifested the chaotic abandonment of hysteria. | |
| 0408|The Eldorado emptied its occupants into the street to see the test. | |
| 0409|He could feel a new stir in the land. | |
| 0410|So we have to fit the boat throughout with oil lamps as well. | |
| 0411|It will break our hearts and our backs to hoist anchor by hand. | |
| 0412|There is another virtue in these bulkheads. | |
| 0413|But I am at the end of my resources. | |
| 0414|Now our figuring was all right. | |
| 0415|It lasted as a deterrent for two days. | |
| 0416|The added weight had a velocity of fifteen miles per hour. | |
| 0417|It is also an insidious, deceitful sun. | |
| 0418|The Portuguese boy crawled nearer and nearer. | |
| 0419|The Portuguese boy passed the Hawaiian. | |
| 0420|When I came to I was waving my hat and murmuring ecstatically. | |
| 0421|By golly, the boy wins. | |
| 0422|Halfway around the track one donkey got into an argument with its rider. | |
| 0423|McVeigh when he returns from a trip to Honolulu. | |
| 0424|Obviously, it was a disease that could be contracted by contact. | |
| 0425|Otherwise no restriction is put upon their seafaring. | |
| 0426|They do not know the length of time of incubation. | |
| 0427|Enters now the psychology of the situation. | |
| 0428|It was not exactly a deportation. | |
| 0429|Quick was the disappointment in his face, yet smiling was the acquiescence. | |
| 0430|Nevertheless we found ourselves once more in the high seat of abundance. | |
| 0431|Wada and Nakata were in a bit of a funk. | |
| 0432|The boy at the wheel lost his head. | |
| 0433|To her the bridge was tambo, which is the native for taboo. | |
| 0434|A half a case of tobacco was worth three pounds. | |
| 0435|What do you mean by this outrageous conduct. | |
| 0436|But Martin smiled a superior smile. | |
| 0437|By that answer my professional medical prestige stood or fell. | |
| 0438|At sea, Monday, March 16, 1908. | |
| 0439|At sea, Wednesday, March 18, 1908. | |
| 0440|Yes, sir, I corrected. | |
| 0441|Violent life and athletic sports had never appealed to me. | |
| 0442|You live on an income which your father earned. | |
| 0443|He was worth nothing to the world. | |
| 0444|Then you don't believe in altruism. | |
| 0445|The creative joy, I murmured. | |
| 0446|He deluged me, overwhelmed me with argument. | |
| 0447|Ah, it is growing dark and darker. | |
| 0448|I was Hump, cabin boy on the schooner Ghost. | |
| 0449|A sinewy hand, dripping with water, was clutching the rail. | |
| 0450|No man ate of the seal meat or the oil. | |
| 0451|I noticed blood spouting from Kerfoot's left hand. | |
| 0452|Three oilers and a fourth engineer, was his greeting. | |
| 0453|Eighteen hundred, he calculated. | |
| 0454|The sharp voice of Wolf Larsen aroused me. | |
| 0455|I obeyed, and a minute or two later they stood before him. | |
| 0456|But it won't continue, she said with easy confidence. | |
| 0457|What I saw I could not at first believe. | |
| 0458|The stout wood was crushed like an eggshell. | |
| 0459|There's too much of the schoolboy in me. | |
| 0460|I had forgotten their existence. | |
| 0461|Ah, we were very close together in that moment. | |
| 0462|But she swung obediently on her heel into the wind. | |
| 0463|They are his tongue, by which he makes his knowledge articulate. | |
| 0464|Between the rush of the cascades, streaks of rust showed everywhere. | |
| 0465|He'll never do a tap of work the whole Voyage. | |
| 0466|Captain West may be a Samurai, but he is also human. | |
| 0467|And so early in the voyage, too. | |
| 0468|In the matter of curry she is a sheer genius. | |
| 0469|The eastern heavens were equally spectacular. | |
| 0470|He spat it out like so much venom. | |
| 0471|I saw Mr Pike nod his head grimly and sarcastically. | |
| 0472|He is too keenly intelligent, too sharply sensitive, successfully to endure. | |
| 0473|The night was calm and snowy. | |
| 0474|I sailed third mate in the little Vampire before you were born. | |
| 0475|His outstretched arm dropped to his side, and he paused. | |
| 0476|At this moment I felt a stir at my shoulder. | |
| 0477|Wada, Louis, and the steward are servants of Asiatic breed. | |
| 0478|Also, she has forbidden them smoking their pipes in the after-room. | |
| 0479|I tried to read George Moore last night, and was dreadfully bored. | |
| 0480|Tom Spink has a harpoon. | |
| 0481|Nimrod replied, with a slight manifestation of sensitiveness. | |
| 0482|And their chief virtue lies in that they will never wear out. | |
| 0483|Beyond dispute, Corry Hutchinson had married Mabel Holmes. | |
| 0484|No-sir-ee. | |
| 0485|Each insult added to the value of the claim. | |
| 0486|For the rest, he was a mere automaton. | |
| 0487|The river bared its bosom, and snorting steamboats challenged the wilderness. | |
| 0488|Their love burned with increasing brightness. | |
| 0489|They were artists, not biologists. | |
| 0490|Both Johnny and his mother shuffled their feet as they walked. | |
| 0491|And as in denial of guilt, the one-legged boy replied. | |
| 0492|Burnt out like the crater of a volcano. | |
| 0493|The boy, O'Brien, was specially maltreated. | |
| 0494|O'Brien took off his coat and bared his right arm. | |
| 0495|He bore no grudges and had few enemies. | |
| 0496|And Tom King patiently endured. | |
| 0497|King took every advantage he knew. | |
| 0498|The lines were now very taut. | |
| 0499|And right there I saw and knew it all. | |
| 0500|Who the devil gave it to you to be judge and jury. | |
| 0501|You're joking me, sir, the other managed to articulate. | |
| 0502|Anything unusual or abnormal was sufficient to send a fellow to Molokai. | |
| 0503|His beady black eyes saw bargains where other men saw bankruptcy. | |
| 0504|He was an athlete and a giant. | |
| 0505|We fished sharks on Niihau together. | |
| 0506|The Claudine was leaving next morning for Honolulu. | |
| 0507|In short, my joyous individualism was dominated by the orthodox bourgeois ethics. | |
| 0508|Soon shall it be thrust back from off prostrate humanity. | |
| 0509|Yet, in accordance with Ernest's test of truth, it worked. | |
| 0510|Much more Ernest told them of themselves and of his disillusionment. | |
| 0511|There is more behind this than a mere university ideal. | |
| 0512|No, it is a palace, wherein there are many servants. | |
| 0513|We must give ourselves and not our money alone. | |
| 0514|We are consumed in our own flesh-pots. | |
| 0515|But here amongst ourselves let us speak out. | |
| 0516|Also, there was awe in their faces. | |
| 0517|Out of abstractions Ernest had conjured a vision and made them see it. | |
| 0518|Illuminating oil was becoming all profit. | |
| 0519|Such an act was in direct violation of the laws of the land. | |
| 0520|He was fond of quoting a fragment from a certain poem. | |
| 0521|Without them he could not run his empire. | |
| 0522|For such countries nothing remained but reorganization. | |
| 0523|They could not continue their method of producing surpluses. | |
| 0524|At once would be instituted a dozen cooperative commonwealth states. | |
| 0525|The Oligarchy wanted violence, and it set its agents provocateurs to work. | |
| 0526|Nowhere did the raw earth appear. | |
| 0527|The lush vegetation of that sheltered spot make a natural shield. | |
| 0528|Men who endure it, call it living death. | |
| 0529|As I say, he had tapped the message very rapidly. | |
| 0530|Ask him, I laughed, then turned to Pasquini. | |
| 0531|In what bucolic school of fence he had been taught was beyond imagining. | |
| 0532|May drought destroy your crops. | |
| 0533|Dunham, can your boy go along with Jesse. | |
| 0534|But Johannes could, and did. | |
| 0535|A new preacher and a new doctrine come to Jerusalem. | |
| 0536|He would destroy all things that are fixed. | |
| 0537|He was an enthusiast and a desert dweller. | |
| 0538|What Pascal glimpsed with the vision of a seer, I have lived. | |
| 0539|I should like to engage just for one whole life in that. | |
| 0540|Yea, so are all the lesser animals of today clean. | |
| 0541|The Warden with a quart of champagne. | |
| 0542|Without a doubt, some of them have dinner engagements. | |
| 0543|I had been born with no organic, chemical predisposition toward alcohol. | |
| 0544|He may anticipate the day of his death. | |
| 0545|The Italian rancho was a bachelor establishment. | |
| 0546|I lost my balance and pitched head foremost into the ooze. | |
| 0547|Men like Joe Goose dated existence from drunk to drunk. | |
| 0548|Also, churches and preachers I had never known. | |
| 0549|Do you know that we weigh every pound of coal we burn. | |
| 0550|This also became part of the daily schedule. | |
| 0551|All an appearance can know is mirage. | |
| 0552|Yet he dreams he is immortal, I argue feebly. | |
| 0553|I am writing these lines in Honolulu, Hawaii. | |
| 0554|Jack London, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Oahu. | |
| 0555|Jerry was so secure in his nook that he did not roll away. | |
| 0556|Why, he's bought forty pounds of goods from you already. | |
| 0557|The last refugee had passed. | |
| 0558|And the foundation stone of service, in his case, was obedience. | |
| 0559|Peace be unto you and grace before the Lord. | |
| 0560|His mouth opened; words shaped vainly on his lips. | |
| 0561|Bill lingered, contemplating his work with artistic appreciation. | |
| 0562|What the flaming. | |
| 0563|Mrs McFee's jaws brought together with a snap. | |
| 0564|Then it is as I said, Womble announced with finality. | |
| 0565|With them were Indians, also three other men. | |
| 0566|Dennin's hands were released long enough for him to sign the document. | |
| 0567|Now Irvine was a man of impulse, a poet. | |
| 0568|He was just bursting with joy, joy over what. | |
| 0569|At Lake Linderman I had one canoe, very good Peterborough canoe. | |
| 0570|Behind him lay the thousand-years-long road across all Siberia and Russia. | |
| 0571|He had forgotten to build a fire and thaw out. | |
| 0572|I never saw anything like her in my life. | |
| 0573|There was no law on the Yukon save what they made for themselves. | |
| 0574|Good business man, Curly, O'Brien was saying. | |
| 0575|There weren't any missions, and he was the man to know. | |
| 0576|And the big Persian knew of his existence before he did of hers. | |
| 0577|Once the jews harp began emitting its barbaric rhythms, Michael was helpless. | |
| 0578|But we'll just postpone this. | |
| 0579|There was the Emma Louisa. | |
| 0580|This is my fifth voyage. | |
| 0581|It was this proposition that started the big idea in Daughtry's mind. | |
| 0582|Daughtry elaborated on the counting trick by bringing Cocky along. | |
| 0583|Enjoy it he did, but principally for Steward's sake. | |
| 0584|I have long noted your thirst unquenchable. | |
| 0585|Wonder if he's a lion dog, Charles suggested. | |
| 0586|We don't see ourselves as foolish. | |
| 0587|He had comparatively no advantages at first. | |
| 0588|He had proved it today, with his amateurish and sophomoric productions. | |
| 0589|I was sick once -- typhoid. | |
| 0590|In a way he is my protege. | |
| 0591|We are both children together. | |
| 0592|It's only his indigestion I find fault with. | |
| 0593|She'd make a good wife for the cashier. | |
