He had the oars manned, and gave the order to let go.

All night the captain and the mate took turns in steering, while we, in turn, pulled at the oars.

But they rode it out, with their pile of blankets a-trail, and with helm and oars alert to keep the boat afloat.

But the viands shall be such as these hirelings of the King shall little relish!Pull with a will, my men, pull; in an hour, you shall rummage the store-rooms of that fool, for your reward!" The greedy freebooters who manned the oars could scarcely restrain their shouts, in order to maintain that air of moderation which policy still imposed but they gave vent to their excitement, in redoubled efforts in propelling the pinnace.

The oars were manned by the two seamen, and a silent adieu was given by a wave of his hand; after which he disappeared from those to whom their present release seemed as imaginary and unreal as had appeared their late captivity.

He made an impatient gesture to his attendants to ply their oars, cautiously steering the boat on such a course as should soonest lead her from beneath the guns of the freebooters.

"Lay on your oars, lads," he said, signing to his people to arrest the progress of the boat; "lay on your oars!

"Lay on your oars, lads," he said, signing to his people to arrest the progress of the boat; "lay on your oars!

In shipping such as this, the Irish kern, And untaught Indian, on the stream did glide: Ere sharp-keel'd boats to stem the flood did learn, Or fin-like oars did spread from either side.

For want of oars or paddles they cut poles on the banks, thinking that they could push the boat along, by planting the poles against the bottom, as the water was not deep.

Forester had arranged it with Marco, to go that afternoon down to the mill-pond, to examine the boat, in order to see whether they could have it fitted with oars, and to make arrangements to that effect.

You have used oars, but not paddles, and so you can not compare them.

"With two oars I can," said Marco.

"When you have several men to row, and one to steer, you get along very well with oars, but in case of only one man, there is an advantage in a paddle.

There is still another point to be considered,a paddle is better for a narrow boat and oars for wide ones.

"Because," said Forester, "a certain width is required in a boat in order to work oars well.

But oars extend so far laterally" "Laterally?" asked Marco.

Oars extend so far on each side, that they require a great breadth of water.

If you attempt to go through a narrow place, the oars would strike.

"You can give orders to trail oars.

Then the oarsmen all whip their oars out of the row-locks in an instant, and let 'em trail alongside under the boat's counters, and she shoots through the narrow place like a bird.

"You'll teach it to us," said Forester, "when we get our oars and a good boat's crew of boys.

This would require six oars.

I have come to the conclusion that generations which had lost all vital power, have made me what I am; that nothing remains but to cast away the oars and let myself drift with the current.

Say, Donovan, do we have one with muffled oars?

There is promise there of great wealth in ores and earths, which is no wealth by reason of being so far removed from water and workable conditions, but men are bewitched by it and tempted to try the impossible.

The thousand hues and shades upon the flowers, Are all the pastime of thy leisure hours; And all the gems and ores that hidden be, Are dead till they are looked upon by thee.

This image on the medal placed, With its bright round of titles graced, And stamped on British coins, shall live, To richest ores the value give, Or, wrought within the curious mould, Shape and adorn the running gold.

Between 3 and 4 there was to be a setting out of some work to the men by a sort of Dutch Auction (the usual way of setting out the work here): some refuse ores were to be broken up and made marketable, and the subject of competition was, for how little in the pound on the gross produce the men would work them up.

We are not in it yet; to-morrow I will make a survey and I may get indications that will carry us to the ledge where the gold ores extend in paying quantitiesyes, I think I can read the indications as plainly as though the road were mapped out.

These mountains are incalculably rich in ores of all kinds, and would amply suffice to make a Denver of Spokane Falls, even if she had no other natural resources to draw from.

Here we found Edward I. Parsons, of San Francisco, erecting an endless-rope tramway for conducting ores to a ten-stamp mill now under construction.

The 120-stamp mill makes such a deafening noise that there is no fear that the curious minded will cause employés to waste any time answering questions, for nothing can be heard but the rise and fall of the great crushers and the crunching of the ores.

The highly prized red-lead ores have been found on the top of this same hill, N. 30° W. from the village.

Copper ores are found in several places in Luzon; and specimens of solid copper were obtained by me at the Bay of Luyang, N. of the Enseñada de Patag, in Caramuan.

The ores were divided into rich and quartziferous; the former not being again melted, but the latter being subjected to a powerful and persistent roasting, during which, after a part of the sulphur, antimony, and arsenic had been exhaled, a kind of distillation of sulphate of copper and sulphate of iron took place, which appeared as "stone," or in balls on the surface of the quartz, and could be easily detached.

Santos found, by repeated experiment, that even from ores of the mean standard of twenty per cent, only from eight to ten per cent of black copper was extracted by the third operation; so that between eight to twelve per cent still remained in the residuum or porous quartz of the operation.

According to the Catalogue, the following ores are found:Variegated copper ore (cobre gris abigarrado), arsenious copper (c. gris arsenical), vitreous copper (c. vitreo), copper pyrites (pirita de cobre), solid copper (mata cobriza), and black copper (c. negro).

Tucson is located in the heart of the great silver and gold bearing regions of Arizona, and it was exceedingly difficult to prevent the boys from loading themselves with specimens of the many ores offered for sale, by every loafer, greaser, and Indian, that we met on the street.

Whether possibly there may be ores or metals of value an the hills adjoining.

In 1859, 3,000 tons were landed in Detroit, producing from 60 to 70 per cent of ingot copper, being among the purest ores in the world.

We stopped at Irish Diggings, and I took specimens of the various spars, ores, and rocks.

Dr. Houghton writes from Fredonia, communicating the results of his analyses of the Lake Superior copper-ores.

1. What are the inducements to imagine that any volcanic action exists in the Porcupine Mountains, and mentioning, approximately, their distance from the Ontonagon River; and their probable influence on the diffusion of the copper ores and copper boulders on its shores?

He took a good deal of interest in examining my cabinet, and proposed I should exchange the Lake Superior minerals for the gold ores of Virginia, &c. He showed me his idea of the geological column, and drew it out.

TAGGART, ARTHUR F. Handbook of mineral dressing; ores and industrial minerals.

" Persons who wish to give attention to mining matters, will find attractions in Tennessee, in the deposits of iron, copper, and other ores.

Then we passed through a country where for many hours the talk in the cars was of mines and the treatment of ores.

This country is stored more bountifully, probably, than is any other country, with the metal ores of iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, and silver.

Sedeño and the smelter of ores, Giron, who came here in 1510, made oath that the two slaves each brought with them were for their personal service only.
