We saw a man with frightened eyes, like a child in a nightmare, with many of the outward signs of having been gassed, struggling for breath, gesticulating feebly, trying to ward off some imaginary blow.

He had not been gassed, but wounded in the head.

A Sergeant inside was badly gassed.

A gunner who was with him in the dug-out came running into the Command Post crying out that he also was gassed.

Some had apparently been gassed outside, some with masks on and some without, and had crawled, dying, into the dug-outs in the vain hope of finding protection there.

I was shell-shot, shocked, gassed, and bayoneted.

We've gassed so much I'm dry as a covered bridge.

And concerning this flame I was not overmuch astonished in my Reason; for it had seemed to me as I drew anigh, that the fire and the sound should be made by the roaring and whistling of a burning gas that did issue forth among the rocks.

And there came also from them whistlings, and from the second one a low and strange moaning noise; and I doubted not the gas did come oddly and with trouble.

Now, as you shall mind, it was surely in the early Third of the seventh day of my journey down the Mighty Slope that I saw the first shining of the monstrous gas fountain; and from that time until now had there past maybe sixteen hours.

And that day had I past three and twenty of the dancing gas fires; and five been like a white fire; but the others blue and green.

And at the sixth hour, after that I had eat and drunk, I came to a part where the big gas fires did cease to dance, and there was a certain darkness upon that place.

And surely, as I did think before, this was like to be put upon me by the weighty air of the place; but yet it might be that the gas which did float in the Gorge was upon my lungs.

Now, presently, the gas fires did cease utterly in the Gorge, and I lookt downward, along that great place, and saw only a greyness, but above the greyness there was, as it did seem, something of a vague and ruddy shining in the night.

In the still evenings of dry seasons this plant emits an inflammable air or gas, and flashes on the approach of a candle.

The shops of medicine are supplied with resins, balsams, and essential oils; and the tar and pitch, for mechanical purposes, arc produced from these vegetable secretions.] 185 In sulphurous eddies round the weird dame Plays the light gas, or kindles into flame.

And it is well known, that the gas from fermenting liquors, or obtained from lime-stone, will destroy animals immersed in it, as well as the vapour of the Grotto del Cani near Naples.]

One perceived a mist of gayly dressed people, a soft flutter of fans, and faint, sweet perfumes below; the velvet-cushioned pulpit, and pale, scholarly outlines of the preacher's face above; the warmth of rainbow-tinted glass; the wreathed and massive carving of oaken cornice; the glitter of gas-light from a thousand prisms, and the silence of the dome beyond.

He could just make out a dim figure behind the counter, which he believed to be Amelia, when a match was struck and a gas jet threw a sudden light in the shop and revealed Mr. Jack Nugent standing behind the counter with his hand on the lady's shoulder.

They will be shelled, gassed, mined and bombed, smothered in mud, worked to the bone, bored stiff and scared silly.

If I wished to die suddenly I think I should simply blow out the gas.

Look!" Bobby, laboriously inhaling the tainted air inside his helmet,being preserved from a gas attack is only one degree less unpleasant than being gassed,turned his goggles northward.

The reality did him some good, but not very much, because when he had been in France only a fortnight he was gassed and sent home with a weak heart.

They had been gassed in the north; shot over and shot down, and set up to be shelled again; and their officers talked of North African wars that we had never heard ofsultry days against long odds in the desert years ago.

They were dressed in khaki, the colour of gassed grass, that might have belonged to any army.
