...the train {...} blocked the end of that street entirely, drawn up across it, hissing mephitically...
- Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry to Gabriola
"'Above all, do not stand about in this mephitic atmosphere. But first I beg that Mr Reade may be taken back to the ship and that the loblolly-boy should be told to rub him all over with vinegar and cut off his hair before he goes aboard, where he must be kept in quarantine?'"
--Patrick O'Brian, The Nutmeg of Consolation, 244
