"All right, sir," said Louisa, taking the indiarubber bottle he had brought down; "don't you worry." Dick took a book, and planting his elbows on the table, seemed to be reading; in reality he was blinking his eyelashes very hard, to keep back tears. Dorothy thought the whole world was going mad. As far as she knew the only trouble in it was her own.
The Frue vanner is an endless indiarubber band drawn over an inclined table, to which a revolving and side motion is given by ingenious automatic mechanism, the pulp being automatically fed from the upper end, and the concentrates collected in a trough containing water in which the band is immersed in its passage under the table; the lighter particles wash over the lower end.
"I thought I heard a sound as it might have been someone tapping on the bulkhead." The watchkeepers asleep on the settee stirred in their sleep, frowned, and sank again into fathomless oblivion. The Indiarubber Man entered the wardroom in company with the Paymaster as the corporal of the ward-room servants was putting the finishing touches to the dinner-table.
"It's the spring," said the Young Doctor. "Bunje's young fancy is lightly turning yes, it is." The Surgeon sniffed the air judicially. "The bay rum upon your hair proclaims it. Ah, me! The heyday of youth!" He sighed. "'Time was when love and I were well acquainted." "That's a fact," retorted the Indiarubber Man bitterly. "But you needn't brag about it.

"Hold yer wind, Paddy," shouted the men, who paused for a moment to watch the result of the race. "Mind your timbers, Mivins! Back your top-sails, O'Riley; mind how he yaws!" Then there was a momentary silence of breathless expectation. The two men seemed about to meet with a shock that would annihilate both, when Mivins bounded to one side like an indiarubber ball.
They were in the saloon. It was glaring bright and stifling; the air smelled of paint and burnt chop-bones and indiarubber. Fenella wished her grandma would go on, but the old woman was not to be hurried. An immense basket of ham sandwiches caught her eye. She went up to them and touched the top one delicately with her finger. "How much are the sandwiches?" she asked.
They also used Captain Parry's invention of indiarubber belts, in which the warmth of the body and the movement of walking keeps coffee, tea, and water in a liquid state.

"I it's very kind of you " Then he turned to Betty. "Shall we all three go for a walk?" "Oh, it's no use asking her to go for a proper walk," interposed the alarmed Joe.
