If for instance the aeroplane is speeding along at 60 miles an hour, the bomb when released will have a speed in the horizontal plane of 60 miles an hour, because momentarily it is travelling at the speed of the aeroplane. A bomb released from an altitude of 1000 feet seldom, if ever, makes a bee-line for the earth, even if dropped from a stationary airship.
Clifford went out to question them. "Yes, Mr. Burt come up in de mawnin' an' stirred us all up right smart, slashed down a tree hisself to show a new gawky hand dat's cuttin' by de cord how to 'arn his salt; den he put out wid his rafle in a bee-line toward de riber. Dat's de last we seed ob him;" and Abram went stolidly on to unhitch and care for his horses. Mr.
"I've no doubt you're awful wet, but mebbe you know more'n you did a couple of hours ago. Skip!" The old man moved off with alacrity scarcely to be expected of him, and the boys saw that it was wisest to follow him, for he was taking a bee-line through the woods and brush for his home, and that they knew was near where they had left their regiment. Soon Co.
In an agony of terror, in an access of despair, when all else fails, he strikes a bee-line for the hills he loves; rationally or irrationally, he seems to think he can hide there. Hugo Le Geyt, with his frank boyish nature, his great Devonian frame, is sure to have done so. I know his mood. He has made for the West Country!" "You are, right, Hilda," Mrs. Mallet exclaimed, with conviction.
And this son of the forest, whose foot can make a bee-line to its destination through the densest wooded maze, is not only leader, but cook and general-utility man in camp as well. The guide must be equally grand-master of paddle, rifle, and frying-pan. For these tireless woodland heroes Cyrus Garst has a general admiration.
And less than a mile sun-ward was a long dark shape and columns of smoke rising lazily into the air. Scrambling through the fence, Alex set off on a bee-line for the train, whistling a brisk march. Five minutes later the whistler paused in the middle of a note and spun sharply about. The color left his bronzed face.
"Fifty tons, if there's one. If all that goes, what shall I do?" Andy took in the whole situation with a vivid glance. Then he made a bee-line dash for a broken stack against which rested a large field rake. It was broad and had a very long handle. Andy ran with it towards the blazing heap of hay and set to work instantly.
A bee came stumbling into my room this morning, as it has done every spring since we moved here, perhaps not the same bee. I think there must have been a family bee-line across this place before ever a house was built here, and the bees are trying for it every year. Perhaps we ought to cut a window opposite.
If these Kiowas take to the Staked Plains, they will probably enter it directly north of here, at its widest part. Then this Mountain Mose, if he is the scout he pretends to be, will leave their trail to take care of itself and draw a bee-line for the nearest water; and it will take thirty hours' rapid marching to reach it, too." "How do you know? Have you ever been there?"
I'll tell you what I think will be the best plan, if you will listen: From here to Betsy Cove, the harbour I have mentioned where the whalers call every year, is in a bee-line just about thirty-five miles right ahead across the stretch of sea there; but as we may have to make a detour in order to avoid reefs and any rocks or islands which may come within this straight line, we'd better call it fifty miles."
