cutlas

1 With fierce hurrahs they dashed through the shot-riven smoke and grappled the brig; and the boarders rose, cutlas in hand, ready to spring over the bulwarks.

2 "Nonsense, man! take this cutlas, and here's a pair of pistols; come, we shall be too late for them."

3 Even Pearse fell under the spell of fierce action; his rapier played among the heavier strokes of cutlas and broad-knife like summer lightning.

4 He held the cutlas high above Darrell's throat like the blade of a guillotine.

5 He tied a bandanna over the wound while the young man arranged on the bunk cutlases, their spare pistol, and the musket.

6 Twelve carronades occupied a double row of port-holes, and the deck seemed crowded with men, all armed with cutlases and pistols.

7 His whistling cutlas hissed down not an inch from my ear and ripped through the tarpaulin to bury the blade in the wood of the bow.

8 They hurried through the corridors toward the stairway, with Cliff holding the cutlas in readiness.

9 "Beat down his cringing curs, but leave me Rufe!" cried Dolores, opposing her own dagger to the sweep of the pirate's cutlas.

10 They saw two great strong-boxes filled to the brim with iron chains, broken cutlases, rusty bilboes, and rock; a fool's treasure in truth.

11 Hanglip himself seemed irresolute in the face of the maid's denial; he stood with cutlas raised, not yet sure whether to attack or first see to the treasure story.

12 With a hideous howl he darted into the hall, his cutlas above his head.

13 Cliff's first impulse was to fling himself out there with his cutlas and hack a way to freedom for Vilma and himself, but cold reason checked this folly.

14 "His arm's just as good as a new wooden one, and his repartee is as sharp as the cutlas that broke the skin on it."

15 Thrusting the cutlas beneath his belt, he clutched a handful of the black dust.

16 And now she saw him coming toward her, not as a ministering angel, but like a figure of wrath, swinging his great broad-ax in one hand as easily as another man might swing a cutlas.

17 Before they could swing their cutlases and dash over the hammock-nettings, the British boatswain waved his cap and yelled that the Savage had surrendered.

18 The black giant turned as calmly as if his mistress had called him, and seized the fellow's cutlas hand in one huge fist, crushing bone and steel into gory pulp without visible effort.

19 Above him stood Quinn, a ghastly sight, in his hand a streaming cutlas.

20 Catching up a cutlas I followed him into the open.
