Half-way down Channel we had trouble with a short circuit in our electric engines, and were compelled to run on the surface for several hours while we replaced one of the cam-shafts and renewed some washers. It was a ticklish time, for had a torpedo-boat come upon us we could not have dived. The perfect submarine of the future will surely have some alternative engines for such an emergency.
Crucibles and chemicals are ranged round a long room with an iron roof. The tenant has borrowed a mortar-box, two stamp-heads, shoes, and dies, and has fitted them with wooden stems and cam-shafts. He proposes to drive them by two-man power, in order to crush three tons of ore per diem and to test a new patent amalgamator.
There, in the interior gloom of the shabby old building, could be seen piles of broken, twisted, and rusty things twisted iron rods, broken cam-shafts, cog wheels with missing teeth, springs that had lost their elasticity a miniature mountain of scrap iron each piece of which at some time had been a part of some smoothly working machine.
