101 XXI | their bodies.~Ere long, two heads appeared to the gaze
102 XXI | lost, and we should have two persons to save instead

104 XXI | Here is my plan: We have two hundred pounds of ballast

106 XXI | two muskets; twelve in the two revolvers; or seventeen
107 XXI | battery. He then took out the two perfectly-isolated conducting-wires,
108 XXI | travelling-sack, brought forth two pieces of charcoal, cut
109 XXI | the end of each wire.~His two friends looked on, without
110 XXI | the car, and, taking the two pieces of charcoal, one
111 XXI | insupportable glow between the two pointed ends of charcoal,
112 XXII | moment, Joe tossed over the two hundred pounds of ballast.~
113 XXII | the awning for a moment or two, to look at his still sleeping
114 XXII | streams of the Upper Nile. For two years his faith was spurned,
115 XXII | them. At length, during two more long years, he traversed
116 XXIV | degrees rendered intolerable. Two gallons only then remained
117 XXIV | disquiet to appear. Those two men, Dick and Joe, friends

122 XXV | the palm-trees.~They were two shrivelled, stunted, dried-up
123 XXV | dried-up specimens of trees—two ghosts of palms—without
124 XXVI | African natives. Scarcely two pints of water remained,
125 XXVI | moisten his lips with them. Two pints of water in the midst
126 XXVI | him onward. And yet those two gallons of water, expended
127 XXVII | grating voice—and then the two struggled desperately for

155 XXXVI | rascals! We are not more than two hundred paces from him!”~“
156 XXXVI | grasped the hands of his two friends and announced that
157 XXXVI | after having made a run of two hundred miles since rescuing

159 XXXVII | after a splendid trip of two hundred and fifty miles,
160 XXXVII | of night, descended about two miles above Aghades, in
161 XXXVIII| master on the idea of having two balloons.~“Where would we

167 XLIX | Victoria had advanced more than two hundred miles to the westward,
168 XLIX | the best!”~In fact, about two o’clock, the Queen of the
169 XL | came in sight, with the two towers of its clay-built
170 XL | anxiety gradually subsided.~“Two more days in this direction,
171 XLI | It still rose more than two hundred feet over the aeronauts.~“
172 XLI | soon at a height of only two hundred feet from the ground,
173 XLI | immediately obeyed, and the two anchors dangled below the
174 XLII | hundred pounds, including the two anchors which I desire to
175 XLII | take the first watch; at two o’clock I’ll waken Kennedy;
176 XLII | be coaxed, the doctor’s two companions stretched themselves
177 XLII | comprehending what had happened.~His two companions started up in
178 XLIII | length were not more than two hundred paces away.~“Throw
179 XLIII | paces away.~“Throw out the two fowling-pieces!” shouted
180 XLIII | my friends!”~And about two miles ahead of them, there
