That unformidable young person being only seventeen, of course looked upon him as a mere boy, and her chaffing manner was not at all to the Colonel's taste, whose attention was drawn to it by an expressive glance from Miss Prosody; so he telegraphed to his wife, who soon signalled her female following from the room.
After a time he signalled to the Hawaiian to work the crank, and then with a whir, a rumble, at last a clear bellow, the monster responded, trembled, turned its snout up the narrow road, and disappeared.

The time intervening between the "down" and "up" clicks tells the operator whether a long or a short dash or a dot is being signalled. Materials. A horseshoe magnet and armature taken from an electric bell provide the most essential parts of our home-made instrument in a cheap form.

Again, in his effort to follow, Mr. Thorndike was halted, but the first tipstaff came to his rescue. "All right," he signalled, "he's with Mr. Andrews." Mr. Andrews pointed to one of the oak chairs.
