Some quotes from the book:

"Machine it was, with a ringing metallic pace, and long, flexible,
glittering tentacles (one of which gripped a young pine tree) swinging
 and rattling about its strange body.  It picked its road as it went
striding along, and the brazen hood that surmounted it moved to and fro
with the inevitable suggestion of a head looking about.  Behind the main
body was a huge mass of white metal like a gigantic fisherman's basket,
and puffs of green smoke squirted out from the joints of the limbs as
the monster swept by me."

"He [martian tripod] used no Heat-Ray to destroy them, but picked them 
[humans] up one by one.  Apparently he tossed them into the great
metallic carrier which projected behind him, much as a workman's basket
hangs over his shoulder."
