Either I should have to tell these police my little secret, and get the whole thing blown upon, or be lagged as an Anarchist. So I went up to my neighbour and took him by the collar, and rolled him about a bit, and then I gathered up my diamonds and cleared out. The evening newspapers called my den the Kentish Town Bomb Factory. And now I cannot part with the things for love or money.
Solomon 'There's naught but care on every hand, Bob 'The lines for to retire, Solomon 'In every hour that passes, O Bob 'But King William threw his bomb balls in, Solomon 'What signifies the life o' man, Bob 'And set them all on fire. Solomon 'An' 'twerna for the lasses, O!
A cheer went up from the members of the crew who stood upon deck; for the Zeppelin was seen to wabble. "Nicked her," shouted the first officer. Jack, standing near the rail, heard something whiz by his head. Instinctively the lad ducked. He knew in a moment what had passed him; he heard something splash into the sea. "Bomb just missed us, sir!" he cried, stepping forward.
To fly one hundred and fifty miles across the Channel and southern England, bomb London, and fly back again by midnight! We were going to be bombed! The anti-aircraft guns were already searching the sky for the invaders.
The Sergeant looked over in my direction and said: "Don't you bomb throwers think that you are wearing top hats out here. 'Cordin' to orders you've been taken up on the strength of this section, and will have to do your bit with the pick and shovel, same as the rest of us." I put up a howl on my way to get my shovel, but the only thing that resulted was a loss of good humor on my part.
He saw the balloon over his head, and shook his fist at it, evidently thinking he had had a narrow escape. But the pasteboard bomb was so light that, had it hit him, he would not have been injured, though he might have been well dusted. "Why, that was a man! Bless my pocketbook!" cried Mr. Damon. "I guess it was," agreed Tom. "I took it for a scarecrow."
Suddenly a terrific roar filled the air and the boys felt as if their ear drums would be fractured. The aeroplane swayed dizzily and Frank worked desperately at his levers and adjusters. For one terrible moment it seemed that the Golden Eagle was doomed to destruction, but the brave craft righted herself and soared on. The bomb had done its work.
Back on the asteroid, the Planeteers started laying the second atomic charge. Rip selected the spot, found a near-by crystal that would serve to house the bomb, and Kemp started cutting. The Planeteers knew what to do now, and the work went rapidly. Rip kept an eye on his chronometer. According to the message from Terra base, he had about fifteen minutes before the Consops cruiser arrived.
Beale got hit when shifting the waggon line, ... and it was rather fine of him. He knew old Dumble was up to his eyes that day, and told the sergeant-major not to tell Dumble what had happened to him, until the battle was over. Did you hear, too, about Manison, one of the new officers? Poor chap! Killed by a bomb dropped in daylight by one of our own aeroplanes as he was going to the O.P.
Then he returned to the other side of the house. "How many men are serving that gun?" he said to M'Snape. "Can you see?" "Only two, sirr, I think. I cannot see them, but that wee breastwork will not cover more than a couple of men." "Mphm," observed Angus thoughtfully. "I expect they have been left behind to hold on. Have you a bomb about you?"
