sluit

You knocked him into a sluit and the mud splashed up over you."

Finally, he climbed the bank of a small sluit and we found ourselves on a miniature tableland, bare and stony.

The heat in the sluit was appalling, and, time after time, I had to stop and wipe the blinding perspiration out of my eyes.

The first of the new songs is the vegetarian-themed Sluit je aan (Join the club), an idea ironically submitted by a butcher's daughter.

The guide led us down a long muddy sluit, evidently a favourite haunt of buffalo, followed it for some distance, then turned abruptly into a belt of open bush country.

Fair in the middle he caught that white man, causing him to double up, fly backwards and land with a most resounding splash in the deepest part of the muddy sluit.

As we expected, they denied all knowledge of creepers in the neighbourhood, though, on being pressed, they remembered the existence of two, those Jumbo had seen in a sluit near the path.

As it happened, however, the other party concerned never stirred further in the business, probably because he was too drunk to remember who had knocked him into the sluit or whether he had gravitated thither by accident.

Not very far from the place where our meeting had been held I passed a side street then in embryo, for it had only one or two houses situated in their gardens and a rather large and muddy sluit of water running down one side at the edge of the footpath.

There appeared to be a deep sluit running up the vlei, and, as the wind was right, we arranged that I should creep along this, as near to them as I could, then shoot, and, if possible, drive the others down to Amyas, who was to squat in the long grass, waiting.

To my relief nearly a minute later he crept out of the sluit covered with mud and dripping with water and hobbled off slowly down the street, his head so near his feet that he looked as though he had been folded in two, and his hands pressed upon what I believe is medically known as the diaphragm.
