deadlight

1 The hatches were on, the deadlights shipped, and a lamp, with its long wick unsnuffed, swung wildly to and fro.

2 Vince glanced in at the cabin, to find that the deadlights were up and the place very dimly lit by the tiny skylight.

3 Set in the cabin's walls were four deadlights, windows of biconvex glass that enabled the man at the helm to see in every direction.

4 The four changed from the window to the deadlight, and watched the approaching disk with every bit of the excitement and interest they had felt when nearing Mercury.

5 The screws fastening the bolts by which the external plates of the deadlights were solidly pinned, readily yielded to the pressure of a powerful wrench.

6 The door was taking on the look of a sieve, and the neighbourhood of the deadlights, Lanyard's sole avenue of escape, was being well peppered.

7 Thinks I, 'There's fog in my deadlights and I can't see through 'em right.'

8 But before this each man of the twenty-four had passed before the open deadlight, derided and jeered the unlucky prisoners, called them unprintable names, and slid down the side on a rope to dry land.

9 “I saw him dead with these here deadlights,” said Morgan.

10 My deadlights was more misty than I like to have 'em.

11 I was pretty sure that they had fixed me in the cabin, not only for the night, but until somebody passing in a boat would see me signalling from the tiny deadlights.

12 At last the early dawn struggled through the deadlights.

13 All four gathered around the deadlight, and soon agreed that the peculiarly elusive skin of the planet was actually within sight.

14 The deadlight of the porthole had been unshipped and the cabin was flooded with dazzling sunlight.

15 For, looking in through the deadlight, was the white face of Foster, washed clean of blood, but filled with the terror and agony of the dying.

16 Tossing his cigar through the opened deadlight, Denman arose and unlocked his door, passing into the small and empty wardroom.

17 Then he entered an opposite room—all were unlocked now—from which, slantingly through the deadlight, he saw lights.

18 A glimmer of late afternoon struggled through the deadlights.

19 We of Number Eight gun, when the "Yankee" was steaming with the starboard broadside bearing, managed to slip across the deck and watch the firing from the ports and deadlights.

20 As the deadlight had been closed over the port, the state-room was illumined only by a gray half-gloom from the cabin.
