If the lights had become short- circuited with the bath, that might have thrown a current into the bath. But they were not. I know it." "Still," pursued Kennedy, watching him keenly, "it is not all a question of current. To kill, the shock must pass through a vital organ the brain, the heart, the upper spinal cord. So, a small shock may kill and a large one may not.
The pieces m m are bent out at the bottom, and screwed down to a base-plate extending the whole length of the boiler. The fire-bars fill the rectangle formed by the tubes B, El, and E2. A plate extends from the top of E2 to the front plate of the casing, to prevent the furnace draught being "short circuited." Boiler Fittings. Safety Valves.
And then came an added horror when the electric lights throughout the vessel began slowly to fade away into darkness. Chief Engineer Blaine came hurrying into the control chamber: "Batteries short circuited by the saltwater!" he exclaimed in a tone of dismay. "And that means chlorine gas," added Jack. "Yes, we notice it already aft," said Blaine all righted.
They monkeyed with the mechanism, short circuited the battery, and jammed the gauge so I couldn't tell when my power was gone. If I had known there wasn't enough to carry us I could have recharged the battery at the hotel. But I figured that I had enough current for the entire trip, and so there would have been, if it hadn't leaked away. Now we're in a pretty pickle."
And all of a sudden they had too much juice turned on. Bang went their insulations whatever they were. "Bang went they. Burned out short circuited. I don't pretend to know why or how. Nonsense! I do know. The cones were some kind of immensely concentrated force electric, magnetic; either or both or more. I myself believe that they were probably solid in a way of speaking coronium.
They seemed all right. "Maybe it's in the gas," she said nervously, while the other boats were passing them by. She yanked down the bulkhead board that hid the gasoline tank. Then she saw the cause of the trouble. "Short circuited!" she exclaimed. "That happened when we struck the buoy.
Thereupon I let bring my treasures and meted them with measures and sent out trusty men to buy food. They circuited all the lands in quest thereof and left no city unsought, but found it not to be bought and returned to us with the treasure after a long absence; and gave us to know that they could not succeed in bartering fine pearls for poor wheat, bushel for bushel, weight for weight.
They were short circuited by the crash, just before the generator went out, and they were volatilized! Some juice!" With the aid of their improvised elevators, the three men attempted to explore the tremendous chamber. They had scarcely begun, when Wade exclaimed: "Bodies!" They crowded around his gruesome find and caught their first glimpse of the invaders from space.
On the sixth day southward they were right at the heels of the Shawnees, and circuited their camp at the Blue Licks itself, only forty miles from the fort. Indeed there had been no time to lose. But the next afternoon they trooped, breathless, into Boonesborough, with word that the Shawnees in full force were close at hand. At ten o'clock the following morning, September 7, the enemy appeared.
If it be nothing deeper than an attraction of chemical affinities generated by physical activities, it has no reservoir from which to draw its supply. It is like the electrical wire that is "short circuited," it expends itself in one spasmodic combustion. True spirituality is attained by a process of addition. The common and erroneous idea of spiritual attainment involves a process of subtraction.
