In great detail Guglielmo Marconi, on April 25th, explained the operations of his system and told how he had authorized Operator Bride of the Titanic, and Operator Cottam, of the Carpathia, to sell their stories of the disaster after they came ashore. In allowing the operator's to sell their stories, said Mr. Marconi, there was no question of suppressing or monopolizing the news.
All the light fled from Billy's face, but her voice, when she spoke, was the quintessence of cheery indifference. "Why, no, of course not, dear." "Thank you. I knew you wouldn't," sighed Bertram. Then the door shut. For a long minute Billy stood motionless before she glanced at her watch and sped to the telephone. "Is Miss Greggory there, Rosa?" she called when the operator's ring was answered.
He gazed at the jeweler with eyes in which terror was reflected, he felt his limbs turn cold, while a thousand confused ideas whirled about in his mind. He saw the streets running blood, he heard the firing, he found himself among the dead and wounded, and by the peculiar force of his inclinations fancied himself in an operator's blouse, cutting off legs and extracting bullets.
The lightnings had been playing around the mast for the last ten minutes without effect. He turned towards one of the ship's officers who was passing. "Anything gone wrong with the wireless?" he enquired. "The operator's ill, sir," was the prompt reply. "We've only one on board, as it happens, so we are rather in a mess." Jocelyn strolled away aft, considering the situation.
And he proceeded to "set-up" a paragraph for the newspaper from a manuscript in front of him at a speed which bewildered Reginald and baffled any attempt on his part to follow the movements of the operator's hand among the boxes.
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.
When the pericardial sac was incised, a teaspoonful of turbid fluid oozed out, and the needle was felt in an oblique position in the right ventricle. By pressure of a finger passed under the heart, the eye of the needle was pressed through the anterior wall and fixed on the operator's finger-nail.
I want to catch it as much as you and" here he straightened himself "I would add a thousand to yours." He hesitated a moment-thinking. "There is but one way, and no time to lose." With this he turned and ran rapidly toward the little depot and telegraph office. Lorry wasted very little time. He dashed into the depot and up to the operator's window. "What's the nearest station east of here?"
"Up here in the air, Wash?" cried Jack. "Dunno whar dey is," said the darkey, doggedly. "Dar he crows ergin! Dar is suttenly critters ob his kind nearby yes sah!" It may have been the Shanghai's raucous tone that aroused Andy. The old hunter suddenly appeared on the platform behind the operator's seat, where the boys and Wash were clinging, and Andy brought his rifle with him. "Hullo!" he said.
As soon, therefore, as the waters are broken, and it is known that the child come thus and that the womb is open enough to admit the midwife's or operator's hand into it, or else by anointing the passage with oil or hog's grease, to endeavour to dilate it by degrees, using her fingers to this purpose, spreading them one from the other, after they are together entered, and continue to do so until they be sufficiently dilated, then taking care that her nails be well pared, no rings on her fingers and her hands well anointed with oil or fresh butter, and the woman placed in the manner directed in the former section, let her gently introduce her hand into the entrance of the womb, where finding the child's feet, let her draw it forth in the manner I shall presently direct; only let her first see whether it presents one foot or both, and if but one foot, she ought to consider whether it be the right foot or the left, and also in what fashion it comes; for by that means she will soon come to know where to find the other, which as soon as she knows and finds, let her draw it forth with the other; but of this she must be specially careful, viz., that the second be not the foot of another child; for if so, it may be of the utmost consequence, for she may sooner split both mother and child, than draw them forth.
