I met her the very day after we were in the Abbey together she was walking with some idiot of an airman and she stared straight in my face and cut me. I've done with girls! They're all of them alike!" and the gloomy young misanthrope picked up the spanner and began energetically tightening nuts on the motorcycle. Ingred shook a sympathetic head.
The wheel stuck, and would not budge. Stern, with a curse of sheer exasperation, snatched up his long spanner, shoved it through the spokes, and wrenched. Groaning, the wheel gave way. It turned. The engineer hauled again. "Go on!" shouted the man. "Start! Move!" With a hissing plaint, as though rebellious against this awakening after its age-long sleep, the engine creaked into motion.
They are fought over with great bitterness, but they are not fought over in the Hall of the Unions-once the Club of the Nobility, with on its walls on Congress days the hammer and spanner of the engineers, the pestle and trowel of the builders, and so on-but in the Communist Congresses in the Kremlin and throughout the country.
Courtenay stooped and swung the other clear of the fight, for the second and third officers were using their fists, and Walker, even in the hurry of his ascent from the stoke-hold, had not let go of a spanner. The yells and curses, the trampling of dim forms swaying in the fight, the roaring of the gale, and the incessant crash of heavy spray made up a ghastly pandemonium.
When nailing is finished, clip the top of the overlap with a hand-vice or screw spanner, to prevent the tops of the ends sliding over one another, and bore a line of holes l/4 inch apart, and at the same distance from the outer end. Fine copper wire drawn to and fro through alternate holes from one end of the row to the other and back again, will secure the joint.
There was an involuntary flinch of the nerves as the heat burned through the thick mittens I wore and scorched my fingers, but I didn't scream, I'm glad to say, or let go the spanner. I screwed and screwed at the union, with the nasty smell of burnt wool, and perhaps flesh, in my nostrils. Then there came the glorious sensation of success as the song of the motor took up its old refrain again.
Menzies, the Scotchman, gave a roar of rage at the sight and rushed with an iron spanner at the murderers; but was met by two balls in the face which dropped him dead at their very feet.
At this the man straightened himself up, dropping a spanner he had been using, and faced us; but he trembled in all his limbs. "I deny nothing, nothing, nothing!" he said, excitedly. He picked up the spanner and went to work again without paying any further attention to us. After looking at him for a minute or so, we went away. "Is he really an anarchist?" I asked, when out of ear-shot.
Pieces of the machine lay all around him, and from the fashion in which he handled them it was evident that he was capable of doing what the other men at Silverdale left to the mechanic at the settlement. Payne wondered, as he watched him, who had taught the gambler to use spanner and file. "I will not trouble you if you are busy, Mr.
So Denman went down, held a jubilant conversation with Florrie through the keyhole, and returned to the deck, where, with a short spanner in his hand replevined from the engine room for use in case of an emergency he spent the night on watch; for, with all lights out, a watch was necessary. But nothing happened.
