Count Halfont intervened, hastily proposing that a second party be sent out at once with instructions to raze the Witch's hut if necessary. "I shall be happy to lead the expedition," said young Count Vos Engo, bowing deeply to the young lady herself. "You shall, Vos Engo," said Halfont. "Prepare at once. Take ten men. I shall report to General Braze for you."
How many loves had been sheltered here? He walked on air. He pinched himself and even then was not certain that he was awake. It was too good to be true. He was ushered into a large, sedately furnished room. A score of men were there before him sitting or standing in attitudes of attention, listening to the words of General Braze.
In the present chapter we will assume that the barrels of all the boilers described are made out of solid-drawn seamless copper tubing, which can be bought in all diameters up to 6 inches, and of any one of several thicknesses. Brass tubing is more easily soldered, but not so good to braze, and generally not so strong as copper, other things being equal.

'Gad, if these ruffians from the railroad possessed no more than pistols they could give us a merry fight. There must be a thousand of them. I don't like it. We'll have trouble before the day's over." "General Braze says his regulars can put down any sort of an uprising in the city," protested Quinnox.
"There is not a man here or in the service who will not gladly accompany you, Mr. King," cried General Braze quickly. "Count Vos Engo is the man I would choose, if I may be permitted the honour of naming my companion," said Truxton, grinning inwardly with a malicious joy. Vos Engo turned a yellowish green. His eyes bulged.
"Your highness," said Lorry, "I have sent instructions to Colonel Braze, requiring him to take a large force of men into the pass to guard the prison. Gabriel shall not escape again, though all Dawsbergen comes after him." "You have but little to fear from Dawsbergen," said Ravone, who was seated near the princess. Candace at his side.
