Numerous passengers were making ready for bed: the men by removing their boots and shoes and coats and galluses and stretching out; the women by loosening their stays, with significant clicks and sighs, and laying their heads upon adjacent shoulders or drooping against seat ends. Babies cried, and were hushed. Final night-caps were taken, from the prevalent bottles.
She partly raised the hammer and buzzed the liberated cylinder. It gave forth clear, musical clicks. "Do you see?" said the San Reve half wistfully. "I have this!" "You would not kill Miss Harley!" exclaimed Storri nervously. "No! Storri, no!" "Whom then?" and Storri moistened his dry lips. His San Reve was such a heathen! The thought parched him. "Whom would you kill, my San Reve?"
But that advancing line halted, stood waiting in silence. Hume's hands went up, palm out, he spoke slowly in Basic-X-Tee clicks: "Friend." This was all Rynch could make out of that sing-song of syllables Rynch knew to be a contact pattern. The dark eye pits continued to stare. A light breeze ruffled the fuzz covering of wide shoulders, long muscular arms.
At that moment, however, the wireless began to click again, and the commander of the Queen Mary paused. "For us?" he asked. The operator nodded. "Admiral Beatty, aboard the Lion, calling, sir." "Take his message!" There was silence for a moment, and then the operator called off the clicks of his apparatus. "Admiral Beatty wants to know your source of information," he reported.
The march of improvement is eminently shown here, where an old man is patiently knitting a flat web of ten inches with a series of five motions between the rows of stitches, while just by are the circular machines, whose motions are so rapid that the clicks of the needles merge into a whir, and a man is able to attend to six machines, making one hundred and thirty pounds of knitted goods per day.
They were a certain rhythmical muffled beat, punctuated at intervals by a slight rustling of paper; and a series of metallic clicks, softened somewhat by distance. After a time it occurred to him to open his eyes. At once he noticed two things more that he had some way acquired fresh white sheets for his bed, and that on a little table near the foot of his bunk stood a vase of flowers.
The ground rising slightly, we could see several dark figures in front of us against the sky moving about, but I doubted whether they could make us out. If the pirates, for such we had good reason to suppose they were, had expected to take us by surprise they were disappointed. Our men cocked their muskets with loud clicks, which might easily have been heard by them.
As evening thickened, some of the gardening men and women gave over for the night, but the greater number remained to get their planting done, Tess being among them, though she sent her sister home. It was on one of the couch-burning plots that she laboured with her fork, its four shining prongs resounding against the stones and dry clods in little clicks.
"Here, listen for yourself," and he passed the head-instrument over to the WHIZZER's former owner. The latter listened a moment. "All I can hear are some faint clicks," he said. "But they are a message," spoke Tom. "Wait, I'll translate," and he put the receiver to his ear. "'STEAMSHIP "FALCON" REPORTS A SLIGHT FIRE IN HER FORWARD COMPARTMENT," said Tom, slowly.
Then followed two sharp clicks, succeeded by a sigh of relief as Number 666 relaxed his arms. "You needn't rouse the household unless you feel inclined, my man," said Giles to Bunky in a low voice. Bunky did not feel inclined. He thought it better, on the whole, to let the sleeping dogs lie, and wisely submitted to inevitable fate.
