A moment later the adversaries were face to face Rotherby, divested of his wig and with a kerchief bound about his close-cropped head, all a trembling eagerness; Mr. Caryll with a reluctance lightly masked by a dangerous composure. There was a perfunctory salute a mere presenting of arms and the blades swept round in a half-circle to their first meeting.
And, if this could be done, I grant you that you could use slower motors and smaller propeller blades more like those of a motor boat. But how are you going to get the condensed air?" "Make it!" said Mr. Damon promptly. "Air pumps are cheap. Just carry one or two on board the aeroplane, and condense the air as you go along. That's a small detail that can easily be worked out.

The gunners, safe behind the walls of the buildings, poured a steady stream of accurately directed fire into the packed mob, while the rest of the men charged in with their blades, thrusting and slashing as they went.

"Are you that English knight?" demanded Brava with dry lips. "Then in courtesy alone will we cross blades no more!" The steel clashed, the points fell, and Spaniard and Englishman bowed gravely each to the other. "I thank you," said Ferne hoarsely.
If you take a card that has been cut to a circular shape and cut the edges so that little wings will be made, then blow on this winged edge, the card will revolve with a buzz; the Parsons steam-turbine works in the same way. A shaft bearing a number of steel disks or wheels, each having many wings set at an angle like the blades of a propeller, is enclosed by a drumlike casing.
With the break of day, the apes were up and at them, which when the Prince saw, he shouted to his men, 'Smite with your swords. So they bared their blades and laid on load right and left, till there ran at them an ape, with tusks like an elephant, and smote one of the Mamelukes and cut him in sunder.

It has a haft or tubular shank an inch long. Its weight is half an ounce. The blades are made of spring steel.
"But at every bite, sir, the thin blades grow smaller and smaller!" "They will last long enough! pull on! But who can tell" he muttered "whether these sharks swim to feast on the whale or on Ahab? But pull on! Aye, all alive, now we near him. The helm! take the helm! let me pass," and so saying two of the oarsmen helped him forward to the bows of the still flying boat.
