"The more it succeeds now, the worse the blow-up will be when we finally have to admit that Salgath was killed here tonight," the Chief Inter-officer Coördinator, Zostha Olv said. "We'd better have something to show the public to justify that." "Yes, we had," Tortha Karf agreed. "Vall, how about the Kholghoor Sector operation.
For once in a way Stansfield's hopefulness deserts him, and he feels the School is in for an out-and-out hiding. The captain would like extremely to blow some one up, if he only knew whom. It is so aggravating sometimes to have no one to blow-up. Nothing relieves the feelings so, does it? However, Stansfield has to bottle up his feelings, and, behold! once more he and his men are in battle array.
That pestiferous letter of Shrapnel's was animadverted on, of course; and, 'I should like you to have heard it, Austin, the colonel said, 'just for you to have a notion of the kind of universal blow-up those men are scheming, and would hoist us with, if they could get a little more blasting-powder than they mill in their lunatic heads. Now Cecilia wished for Mr. Austin's opinion of Dr.
Many still regarded his travelling engine as little better than a curious toy; and some, shaking their heads, predicted for it “a terrible blow-up some day.” Nevertheless, it was daily performing its work with regularity, dragging the coal-waggons between the colliery and the staiths, and saving the labour of many men and horses.
Vulcanologists think otherwise, and with reason which is more than can be said of ordinary people, who little know the power of the forces at work below the crust of our earth! The steam thus produced, although on so stupendous a scale, was free to expand and therefore went upwards, no doubt in a sufficiently effective gust and cloud. But nothing worthy of being named a blow-up was there.
And then there was the real plant of the affair in hand, a mortal weight of gunpowder, a pair of dynamite fishing bombs, and two or three pieces of slow match that I had hauled out of the tin cases and spliced together the best way I could; for the match was only trade stuff, and a man would be crazy that trusted it. Altogether, you see, I had the materials of a pretty good blow-up!
But perhaps that was more their imagination than anything else, for the machine swept on down the hill, at the foot of which was the conflagration. "That was a bad one, Ned!" gasped Tom, as he turned to one side to pass an engine on its way to the scene of excitement. "I should say so! Must have been somebody hurt in that blow-up!" "I only hope it wasn't Mary or her folks!" murmured Tom.
He slowed his car as he approached a place where an officer was driving back the throng that sought to come closer to the blaze. "Git back! Git back, I tell you!" stormed the policeman, pushing against the packed bodies of men and boys. "There'll be another blow-up in a minute or two, and a lot more of you killed!" "Are there any killed?" asked Tom, stopping the car near the officer.
"Du M. thinks it harder to write a poem than to paint a picture. But surely there's no comparing them. One mind expresses itself with a pen and another with a brush." Jan. 17, 1866. "Du Maurier tells of the gas blow-up at his 91 Great Russell Street on Boxing-day. Girl dressing in the shop for Hairdressers' Ball turned on two burners and lit one and left it burning.
The stuff was good enough for Kanakas to go fishing with, where they've got to look lively anyway, and the most they risk is only to have their hand blown off. But for any one that wanted to fool around a blow-up like mine that match was rubbish. Altogether, the best I could do was to lie still, see my shot-gun handy, and wait for the explosion. But it was a solemn kind of a business.
