"How do you happen to be here?" His tone was still querulous. She looked at him calmly and after a pause she answered evenly. We were driving slowly. I saw the routlotte and recognized it at once. So I switched off the magneto of his machine I don't know what he thought but he looked at me as though he believed I had gone suddenly mad, and, while he still wondered, I jumped." "And then?"
"We'll just cruise about, beginning with small circles and gradually enlarging them, spiral fashion. We'll have to go up a few feet to get off the bottom." As Tom was about to give this order Ned looked from the glass windows. The powerful searchlight had been switched on and its gleams illuminated the ocean in the immediate vicinity of the craft.
When it was within about 30 miles of the station, the radar operator switched his set to a shorter range and lost both the F-94 and the unidentified target. While the radar operator was trying to pick up the target again, the F-94 arrived in the area.
I was told of a silver-gray fox in northern New York, which, when pursued by the hounds, would run till it had hunted up another fox, or the fresh trail of one, when it would so manoeuvre that the hound would invariably be switched off on the second track. In cold, dry weather the fox will sometimes elude the hound, at least delay him much, by taking to a bare, ploughed field.
We are dining in our own houses; but, being all friends, we're switched on to each other, and converse exactly as we would at table. It saves a great trouble and expense, for any one of us can give the party, and the poorest can equal the most extravagant.

Suddenly she laughed aloud and then she switched off the light and went smiling to bed. They met at the Marlowe garage.

He suddenly raised the even, mechanical tone in which he dictated, and snapped out the words: "Right. Get on with those now, and come back in five minutes."

Then, with the two machinists, they all descended into the interior of the craft through the small manhole in the middle of the deck or platform. Inside the Porpoise, the greater part of which was below the surface of the waves and consequently in darkness, the professor switched on the electric lights and then he proceeded to get up steam.
And I see my father get ready for funerals and dig up his old sermons for funerals and all that, till it looks just like any trade to me. But besides, how can heaven be, and what's the use? No, sir, I don't want to be buried with my folks I want to be lost, like your uncle was, and buried by the Indians way off where nobody knows."
