Death rides engine thirteen, by Dale O'Hara, pseud. of Lois Bull.

I remember one in particular who demanded "thirteens," but who did not stand more than five feet and five inches in his invisible stockings.

By bringing forward the objects numbering thirteen, Vandin advances the opinion that, virtue, etc., are not sufficient for purposes of emancipation but that suitable time and place are also essential.

A soldier is saved from the punishment of death for sleeping on his post, by the fact of having been able to say that St. Paul's on a certain night struck thirteen, which it never did before.
