In the second instance of this peculiar mode in cremation, the cranium was discovered on nearly the opposite side of the mound, at a depth of 2 feet, and, like the former, resting on its apex. It was filled with a black mass the residuum of burnt human bones mingled with sand. At three feet to the eastward lay the shaft of a flattened tibia, which presents the longitudinal index of .527.
Then the roaring came, and the ship jolted from side to side, struggled with gravity for a moment, and then sprang up free from the Earth. Some time later came the sudden thunderous silence as the jets cut out; there was the dizzying moment of free fall, followed by the sound of the lateral jets imparting longitudinal spin to the small ship. Artificial gravity took over.
The mode of working is as follows: For shell plates, from five-eighths inch to seven-eighths inch thick, to warm each to a dark red heat before rolling, having previously drilled a few holes to template for bolting the strakes together; the longitudinal seams are usually lap joints treble riveted, requiring the corners to be thinned, which is done after rolling.
It has a kind of established repose which is not of frequent occurrence in other quarters of the long, shrill city; it has a riper, richer, more honourable look than any of the upper ramifications of the great longitudinal thoroughfare the look of having had something of a social history.
It took a little time to acquire the knack of turning the crank steadily while leaning over the recorder to talk into the machine; and there was some deftness required also in fastening down the tinfoil on the cylinder where it was held by a pin running in a longitudinal slot. Paraffined paper appears also to have been experimented with as an impressible material.
A little fiber; one of the longitudinal threads into which a striped muscular fiber can be divided. An albuminoid substance contained in the flesh of animals, and also produced by the coagulation of blood. The act of bending a limb, etc. A little pouch or depression. The application of any warm, medicinal substance to the body, by which the vessels are relaxed. Foramen. A hole, or aperture.
In the first place, instead of relying upon the shifting of the operator's body to obtain balance, which had proved too slow to be reliable, they fitted in front of the main supporting surfaces what we now call an 'elevator, which could be flexed, to control the longitudinal balance, from where the operator lay prone upon the main supporting surfaces.
The longitudinal timbers are supported between each two uprights by an iron rod that rests upon a block of stone fixed in the ground. The front ends of the rafters are connected by a longitudinal, 18 feet in length. The structure is covered with waterproof canvas held in place by wooden rods, to which it is attached. The wood employed is pitch pine.
Then, too, you can get more fruit and vegetables on the Gold Coast than at most places lower down: the plantain, not least among them and very good when allowed to become ripe, and then cut into longitudinal strips, and properly fried; the banana, which surpasses it when served in the same manner, or beaten up and mixed with rice, butter, and eggs, and baked.
In the putting together the longitudinal seams of the thicker plates of the shells, great care is always taken to set the upper and under plates for the lap to their proper angle before they are bolted together, a point generally overlooked by the practical boilersmith. The question of corrosion is one which is gradually being answered as time goes on; and so far very satisfactorily for steel.
