The cameras were hard at work, and a large crowd of people pressed inwards towards the pit as the moment drew near. They were all excited except Jonathan, who preserved, even in the supreme moment, the air of holy calm that never leaves his face. All eyes are fixed expectant on the dense bush behind the clearing, whence the Shadrachs, Meshachs and Abednegos of the Pacific are to emerge.
"That's what we're going to do," said the captain. "All ready now, men." "And that means we'd better get busy, Joe," said Blake. "We can't do anything to help just now. Besides, there are a lot of men here. We must get our cameras in place." "That's right, Blake," and the two lads got their apparatus in shape to operate, Mr. Hadley doing the same.
We were in a section of ground which the enemy had occupied only a few hours before and had apparently abandoned vanished into thin air! We were at least two kilometres in front of our infantry, in fact we had, of our own accord keen on obtaining live scenes for the people at home constituted ourselves an advance patrol, armed, not with machine-guns, swords, or lances, but with cameras.
Twice they came upon rouged and powdered men and women with beaded lashes, but these men and women were too busy doing varied things before cameras to take notice of them, for their refuge was also the open-air workshop of moving-picture folk. "Of course you must go," Edwardes seriously told her. "Your mother's health her life itself may depend on it.
The Hungarian was interested. "But why?" "Because he doesn't have luck, and in the dill you need luck." Warren grunted in sour memory. "Had the Telly cameras been focused on Joe Mauser, there at the Little Big Horn, he would have been a month long sensation to the Telly buffs, with all that means." He grunted again. "There wasn't a Telly team within a mile."
"Better get your cameras ready," he advised, "they'll be opening and closing the gates for us now, and that ought to make good pictures, especially when we are closed in the lock, and water begins to enter." "How does it come in?" asked Joe. "Over the top?" "No, indeed. They don't use the waterfall effect," answered Blake, who had been reading a book about the Canal.
"I'll take the part." Rehearsals were going on in various parts of the studio, and some plays were being filmed. Russ Dalwood was busy at one of the cameras. "Have you got a part you like, Ruth?" asked Alice, when she had finished looking over her lines. "Indeed I have, I'm supposed to be Lady Montgomery, and there are two counts in love with me.
"Aren't you going to hunt at all?" demanded the boy who loved to exaggerate. "Of course," drawled Giant. "I am going to hunt ants, and June bugs, and horseflies, and worms, and " "Oh, come off!" growled Whopper. "You know what I mean." "To be sure we'll hunt," said the doctor's son. "But the cameras are going ahead of the guns this trip."
Sir Hilary Thornton, the assistant commissioner, was there; Professor Harding, an expert retained by the authorities, and a medical man whose scientific researches in connection with the Gould poisoning case had sent a man to the gallows, and whose aid had been most important in solving many murder mysteries; Grant of the finger-print department, a wizard in all matters relating to identification; a couple of men from his department bearing cameras, and lastly the senior officer of the Criminal Investigation Department, Green, and his assistant, Waverley.
"It's getting lighter!" cried Blake. "Come on!" He and Joe were to work the cameras, with Charles Anderson to stand by with spare reels of film, and to lend a helping hand if need be.
