"Come to the starboard about one-quarter full turn, Corbett, and hold it. Then up, about twenty-five degrees." "Aye, aye, sir," said Tom. He began to maneuver the small gnat-sized space craft to the proper position. "That's good!" shouted Stefens. "Now hold that. Let me see. I think we've hit pay dirt."
He used it also at Bautzen, where an unprecedented success would have been the result, but for an accident which interfered with the maneuver of the left wing intended to cut off the allies from the road to Wurschen, every arrangement having been made with that view. It should be observed that these different orders are not to be understood precisely as the geometrical figures indicate them.
Information of this reached Foch, and despite the danger of the maneuver, he thrust out his mobile left like a great tongue. That night the weather turned stormy, facilitating this move.
"I should like to talk to him. I shall come again, if I may." "Oh, of course, and next time we may both be at home." As the car started she called out teasingly. "My next maneuver may be more successful, you know!" How provoking she was, and how inspiriting!
Row hard when I give the word." The maneuver was safely accomplished, and in a minute the boat was flying before the gale. "Keep on rowing," Frank said, "but take it easily. We must try and make for the tail of the sands. I can see the lightship." Frank soon found that the wind was blowing too directly upon the long line of sands to enable him to make the lightship.
All right, require of them and their officers methods of fire that demand extremes of coolness, calm and assurance, even in maneuver. They cannot give a little? Ask a lot and you will get it. There you have a combat method nobody has ever heard of, simple, beautiful, and terrible." This is indeed a fine theory.
This maneuver he repeated scores of times, narrowly escaping the firing of the weapon, until he satisfied himself that he could do it to perfection. "Now, if Lone Wolf comes at me alone, I think I can manage him. He won't suspect that I've any weapon, and so won't be prepared for it; but I hope he won't show himself," he added the next minute. "If there's any way of avoiding him, I'll do it."
If these men had inspired all those attacks on Sharp, their maneuver proved successful; for when the investigation had attained its climax and public indignation against Sharp had reached its most furious stage, that venerable corruptionist, worn down by ill health, and almost crazed by the popular outcry, sold his Broadway railroad to Peter A. B. Widener, William L. Elkins, and William H. Kemble.
Repeating this maneuver several times, the young inventor finally brought his machine to within a short distance of the earth, and, also, considerably nearer his own home. "I wonder if we can make it?" he murmured, measuring the distance with his eye. "I think so. I'll shoot her up a bit and then let her down on a long slant. Then, with another upward tilt, I ought to fetch it."
The succeeding morning the Crown Prince of Prussia left Revigny and the great maneuver was initiated, that gigantic movement by the flank, surrounding and enmeshing us by a series of forced marches conducted in the most admirable order through Champagne and the Ardennes.
