They're all of a parcel," cried a man who wore the badge of a constable. "We've had our eyes on the three of them a long time. This fellow," he indicated Gasket, "was one of the crowd suspected of the Warren murders. He's the one who killed old Burthen. Dandy Carter let it out tonight; he's half delirious. We'd have strung him up most probably, if you hadn't "
And my estimate of him makes us even. But perhaps you don't know with what utter contempt I regard such a worthless " "I got a general idea," says I. "And maybe that's because you don't know him very well." For a second the old boy stares at me like he was goin' to blow a gasket. But he don't.
In five minutes we got on board of the former. "Mercy on me, Tom Cringle, and is this the way we are to meet again?" said old Dick Gasket, as he held out his large, bony, sunburnt hand to me.
You see, these two wires run from the plug up to the receivers, there being one receiver in each side of the helmet, right over your ear, pressing against the ear tightly by means of a sponge-rubber gasket." "A man looks like a padded football player with this thing on," said Mr. Giddings with a smile. "Why is a helmet required at all?"
Baldy brought his whole weight to bear on the rebellious sail, and in his frenzied heedlessness let go his hold on the tie. "You, Baldy! are you afraid of falling?" cried the First Lieutenant. At that moment, with all his force, Baldy jumped down upon the sail; the bunt gasket parted; and a dark form dropped through the air.
Williams was pointing, and I saw something black, swinging below the yard. Williams called out something fresh, and made a run for the fore rigging. I caught the last part " ther garskit." Straightway, I knew that Tom had managed to grab the gasket as he fell, and I bolted after Williams to give him a hand in getting the youngster into safety.
Nelsen saw Rodan and Dutch unlatch the collars of their helmets, preparatory for removing them, as they usually did if they stayed here a while, to pack new artifacts or stow tools. Nelsen made as if to unlatch his collar, too. But if he did it, the gasket would be unsealed, and his helmet would no longer be airtight. Now! he told himself.
That is, I should say, after the first minute." "Just what I say," he replied. "Another thing don't it strike you as bein' bloomin' queer about Tom nearly comin' down by ther run, an' then this?" I nodded. "It would have been all hup with Tom, if it hadn't been for ther gasket." He paused. After a moment, he went on again. "That was honly three or four nights ago!" "Well," said Plummer.
"Absorbing the vibrations from the exhaust, caused by the exploded gases in the cylinders, does the trick," Tom told his father. "But there is enormous pressure to overcome, Tom. You must be sure your muffler will stand the strain. Otherwise she is going to blow out a gasket some day, when you least expect it.
I followed when you and he took your walk together. I suspected treachery when Gasket sneaked along behind. I had McTurpin covered when you turned your back on him. He came here after that. Both of them have been here all the evening." Stanley put his hand to his head with a bewildered gesture. "Good God! Then where ? What has become of them?" "Maybe they got wind of Benito's presence.
