"Oh, do you think we are lost?" "If we are not, we are next door to it," was Abe Blower's serious answer. Lost underground! It was a terrible condition of affairs to contemplate, and for an instant Dave's heart almost stopped beating and something like a chill swept down his backbone. What if they should be unable to find their way out of the rocky cave?
But nobody ever took Harry the Blower's yarns very seriously. It would have been natural for Lady Bridget to work herself up into a state of humanitarian excitement the O'Hara's had always espoused unpopular causes but since the arrival of the English mail a curious dreaminess had come upon her.
Fortunately, most of this smoke, especially at first, was borne away upward by the blower's suction, and for some minutes Alice was able to help Coquenil with the new barricade. They built this directly in front of the iron door, with only space enough between it and the door to allow them to crouch behind it; they made it about five feet long and three feet high.
I took the precaution to hire a man to take the tickets, so I had no occasion to interfere with the show; but the last day, in the afternoon, the Professor became almost exhausted; and leaving my wagon I took the blower's stand and relieved him, and through the excitement, soon discovered myself talking Curiosities with as much earnestness as if Barnum's whole menagerie had been inside the tent.
I feel now that we are on the right line"; or, "After what Bellowell said last night, there can be no going back to the discredited policy"? The man-in-the-street did not realize that Blower's words are only articulated air, or that Bellowell could speak with equal effect whether his brief were to defend Belgium or to annex her.
Then they caught a faint gleam from a point apparently halfway up the mountain, in the direction where the Landslide Mine was supposed to be located. "Maybe that's Abe Blower's camp!" cried Dave, who was the first to discover the light. "I'd like to know if Link Merwell and Job Haskers are really with him," said Roger. "We ought to be able to catch up to them by to-morrow, so Mr. Dillon said."
None of the footing seemed to be safe, and more than once Tom Dillon shook his head doubtfully. "This land ain't got settled yet," he said to Abe Blower. "I shouldn't be surprised if there was another landslide before long." "Mebbe you're right, Tom," was Blower's reply. "But if it's to come, I hope it comes arter we're away." "I was thinkin' that maybe we had better go over to the second ridge.
Orcutt, perhaps, whose office was across the hall a tall, lean, spectacled man of fifty who looked like a schoolmaster. "Orcutt, what's the matter with the opener in Cooney's room?" "Why, the blower's out of order." "Well, whose fault is it?".... He knew every watchman and foreman in the mill, and many of the second hands.
"See, here is Abe Blower's name and address, stamped on for mailing purposes. He got it through the mail just before he left and took it along to wrap something in." "Then that proves we are on the right trail!" cried Roger, joyfully. "I wonder how long ago it was when he threw the paper away?" "I'm not detective enough to tell you that, Roger," answered Dave, with a grin.
