Halaman 133 - I divined her purpose, and sprang after her, grasping her dress, and pulling her forcibly back, almost from within those formidable jaws. The astonished animal gave several jumps sideways and backwards, and stopped, crouching to the ground, and growling and lashing his sides with renewed fury.

Halaman 53 - April 26. 1752, being after 12 at Night of the 25th. " O Lord! Governor of heaven and earth, in whose hands are embodied and departed spirits, if thou hast ordained the souls of the dead to minister to the living, and appointed my departed wife to have care of me, grant that I may enjoy the good effects of her attention and ministration, whether exercised by appearance, impulses, dreams, or in any other manner agreeable to thy government.
Halaman 133 - He has shut the steam off from the 'scape-pipe, and now he turns it on to his locomotive machinery. God have mercy upon me ! — He comes ! " But he did not come 1 At the instant the light figure of Kaloolah rushed past me : " Fly, fly, Jon'than ! " she wildly exclaimed, as she dashed forward directly towards the lion. Quick as thought, I divined her purpose, and sprang after her, grasping her dress, and pulling her forcibly back, almost from within those formidable jaws. The astonished animal gave...
Halaman 27 - ... advantage by such influence. On the other hand, snaking means quite as frequently to catch or to draw swiftly from any place. WS Mayo describes a struggle with an Indian thus : " He made a spring at a rail- fence, and I believe would have gone over it at the first jump, but just as he cleared the ground I wollopped the hoop around him and snaked him back, head over heels ; he gathered himself like a frightened deer and cleared the fence the next jump, easy.
Halaman 133 - ... to take place, I might, if he did not kill me at the first blow, so wound him as to indispose him for any further exercise of his power, and that thus Kaloolah would escape. As for me, I felt that my time had come. With no weapon but my long knife, what chance was there .against such a monster ?
