Dick Forrest, saluting continually his people, passed at a gallop the dairy center, which was almost a sea of buildings with batteries of silos and with litter carriers emerging on overhead tracks and automatically dumping into waiting manure-spreaders. Several times, business-looking men, college-marked, astride horses or driving carts, stopped him and conferred with him.
The two detectives dropped their lower jaws alarmingly, and raised their eyebrows to their hat-rims. "The bank at San Francisco has an agent here," said Jim. "Colonel, won't you fetch him?" The colonel took a lively double-quick, and soon returned with a business-looking man. "Mr. Green," said Jim, "please tell me how much I have in your bank?"

It was first those impressive battleships; and bearing down on them one better saw what terrible war-engines they are.
