Knowing what we were like, maybe! That we'd steal their ships, their secrets, their lives! The deepening color of the badge seemed the one visible thing in a strange glaring world. He walked along the row of bunkers, realizing he need not check if they were full or empty the Lhari wouldn't live long enough to harvest their better-than-graphite lubricant. They'd be dead. The last bunker was empty.
"Will it be a letter asking us to come some other place to have a good time for the rest of the summer?" Rose wanted to know. For the six little Bunkers were paying a visit to Aunt Jo in Boston, and expected to leave shortly. "I don't know just what kind of letter I shall get," said Mrs. Bunker with a smile, "but I hope it will be a nice one.
The bunkers of this ship and of her sister, the Columbia, are minutely subdivided, an arrangement very suitable, even imperative, in a battleship, in order to localize strictly any injury received in battle, but inconsequent and illogical in a vessel meant primarily for speed.
Bunker were quite sure by the actions of Phillis and Alice and Frane, Junior, that they were not granted the freedom of speech and action that their little ones enjoyed. Mother Bunker pitied those children from the start! But what amazed the six little Bunkers more than anything else was the number of colored children hanging about the veranda to see the newcomers.
After returning from Pompeii to our steamship we found that although the evening hours had arrived, the harbor was still a scene of animation. Scores of Italian stevedores were carrying baskets of coal on their shoulders from barges into the bunkers of the Moltke. Near by other laborers were hoisting crates of lemons and oranges and lowering them into the hold of an English steamer.
If we admit an average delay, per collier, of eighteen days, that is, fourteen days more than the time necessary for removing the cargo into store, so as to allow for colliers arriving when the ships to be coaled are absent, we should get as the cost of transferring the coal from the holds to the men-of-war's bunkers on the direct supply system.
"And when these Bunkers go back North," put in Frane, Junior, "they are going to look for Sneezer everywhere." "You reckon you'll find him?" asked Mammy June of Rose. "I hope so," said the oldest Bunker girl. "Of course we will," agreed Russ stoutly. "And Daddy Bunker will look out for him too. He said so."
But an easily portable substance, the decomposition of which would evolve energy, or what is, from the practical point of view, much the same thing an easily portable substance, which could be decomposed electrically by wind or water power, and which would then recombine and supply force, either in intermittent thrusts at a piston, or as an electric current, would be infinitely more convenient for all locomotive purposes than the cumbersome bunkers and boilers required by steam.
May I give him one, Daddy?" "Yes, but give him one that isn't toasted. He might burn himself on a hot one. Whose dog is he?" "He just ran over to me from down there," and Rose pointed to some boys and girls about another fire farther down the beach, who were also roasting marshmallows. The dog seemed glad to be with Rose and his new friends, and let each of the six little Bunkers pat him.
Many of the steamers built for the river marine were wooden gunboats, hastily remodelled from the hulks of old craft. They were seldom plated with iron, and their machinery was feebly protected by coal bunkers, while their oaken sides were barely thick enough to stop a musket-ball.
