Then almost at my elbow I heard that shrill falsetto squeal, and turned just in time to see the captain ascend the after gangplank.

The captain mounted the gangplank with a steadiness that disproved my first suspicion of his having been on a drunk.

It has always possessed for me an extraordinary allurement A little after two o'clock a cab drove to the after gangplank and stopped.

"It iss not for you to carry!" He hastened up the gangplank, clutching the chest close.

"Who's the captain here?" called Dave, racing across the landing stage to the tender's gangplank.

When it was time for the arrival of the boat bringing the newspapers from which the different papers expected to get their telegraphic news, messengers from the different offices would be at the levee, and as the boat neared the shore they would leap for the gangplank, and there was always a scramble to get to the clerk's office first.

The next day Sir John Malyoe's travelling-cases began to come aboard the Belle Helen, and in the afternoon that same lean, villanous man-servant comes skipping across the gangplank as nimble as a goat, with two black men behind him lugging a great sea-chest.

The result was a flat throw-down: without General de Guise's sanction I might not even cross the gangplank.

The man in white ran up the gangplank with a paper in one hand and a malacca cane in the other, and I recognized him as Mr. Trego, the man to whom I had been introduced in the bank.

"Then all is well," said Meeker, and he turned away toward the gangplank, where the two men were standing with his organ between them, awaiting his orders.

"If one of us is caught, he'll be like the gangplank of a steamer," called Harry as they left the main part of the city and entered the suburbs.

They were going to draw in the gangplank which had served as a bridge.

His salvation was now but a matter of seconds provided that the crew had not drawn in the gangplank between the steamer and the shore.

Suddenly he found himself on the gangplank, at the same time seeing a man advancing toward him with something gleaming in one hand.

"Haul in the gangplank!" ordered Ferragut.

The mate aided three of the hands who had just come up to retire the gangplank hastily.

the gangplank was drawn in; several belated people jumped on, at the risk of their lives, after the boat had left the wharf, one man vaulting over ten feet; and the voyage for Jersey was commenced.

Two were on the gangplank leading up to the entrance door in the fuselage.

As the men trailed up the gangplank, that steeply rose to the sliding door in the fuselage, the Master checked them on his list.

Two by two, Legionaries came down the gangplank, bearing limp bodies.

The gangplank was put down from the starboard port in the lower gallery.

Four hampers were carried down the gangplank and set on the grass, about fifty feet ahead of Nissr's huge beak, that towered in air over the men like an eagle over sparrows.

At ten minutes after 10 the gangplank was swung free, with a desperate man on it who scrambled on with the help of long legs and a short rope.

The last straggler was on board and the gangplank lifted, reminding me of the stories I had read of raising the drawbridge across the moat of some ancient feudal castle, and leaving the mole with its imitation portcullis behind we steamed out into the bay.

When he was half-way across the gangplank it broke and the Irishman fell in.
