The surface was now frozen beneath a thin crust of snow and the pines were white. "You know roughly what we want," said Kerr. "If you'll come along, you can look at the shot-holes we made to test the ground. Then I'll show you a car-load of the rock we want to use, but it's largely a lumber job and that's why we thought of offering it you.
This car-load seemed quiescent and dull enough with the languor of unexpectant animals, who were accustomed to being hauled mile by mile through the dirty avenues of life. His attention was caught by the ever repeated phenomena of the squalid street. Block after block, mile after mile, it was the same thing.
A wrong combination would easily wreck all this powerful machinery. He was tackling a delicate job like juggling a car-load of dynamite. An oil can sat under the throttle. The amateur engineer picked up this and a handful of greasy tow. Engines require constant oiling.
The trainmaster shook his head. "I've stewed over that till I'm threatened with softening of the brain," he confessed. "Never mind, you have a comparatively easy job," Lidgerwood went on. "That engine is somewhere this side of the Crosswater Hills. It is too big to be hidden under a bushel basket. Find it, and you'll be hot on the trail of the car-load robbers."
He had picked up Dorothy and Aunt Emmeline and Uncle Morrie. "We're going down to the Mansion House," he said, "to hear the Proclamation. Will you come?" But Veronica and Nicholas were tired of crowds, even of historic crowds. Anthony drove off with his car-load, and they went home. "I never saw Daddy so excited," Nicky said. But Anthony was not excited.
I watched the "concentrators" at work big tanks containing mud and water and invisible diamonds and was told that each could stir and churn and properly treat 300 car-loads of mud per day 1,600 pounds to the car-load and reduce it to 3 car-loads of slush. I saw the 3 carloads of slush taken to the "pulsators" and there reduced to quarter of a load of nice clean dark-colored sand.
Yet I was too bashful to shake off the shawl and stand up before a car-load of people. Suddenly, something happened. The blue spectacles flew over my head, and I flew over the seat in front of me. Thank goodness! I was saved from that female! I picked myself up from out of the débris of the wreck.
7. =Results of Activity.= The product of activity is achievement. The workers of the world are continually transforming energy into material products. To clear away a forest, to raise a thousand bushels of grain, to market a herd of cattle or a car-load of shoes, to build a sky-scraper or an ocean liner, is an achievement.
I always shipped back a tierce by fast freight, because I was afraid that if I tried to argue the point he'd come himself and take a car-load. He made a specialty of seeing that every one in town had enough food and enough religion, and he wasn't to be trifled with when he discovered a shortage of either. A mighty good salesman was lost when Doc got religion.
Sometimes the monkeys are caught and shipped off in car-loads to some point miles away and turned loose in the jungle. The appearance of a car-load of these exiles, however, always excites the sympathies of the pious Hindoo, and instances have been known when they have been stealthily liberated while the train was waiting at some other town.
