A curious coincidence arose from the fact that one of my brothers happened to be travelling on the Celtic, and looking over the side, saw adrift on the sea a boat belonging to the Titanic in which I had been wrecked. The two other collapsible boats came to the Carpathia carrying full loads of passengers: in one, the forward starboard boat and one of the last to leave, was Mr. Ismay.
And I had no intention of sitting there and watching him pitch shut-out ball. "What are you going to do about it?" I asked, after he'd finished his job of bailing ditch-water into his car-radiator with a little collapsible canvas bucket. He climbed into his driving-seat, mud to the knees, before he answered me. "I'm going to get Hyacinthe out of this hole," was what he said.
But if he happens to be fortunate enough to lie on a friendly pine knot all night, he'll feel differently in the morning." So the merry talk went on. After supper bigger logs were laid on the fire. A collapsible canvas bucket, filled with drinking water, was hung on a low limb of the tree, and the supply of night wood was conveniently placed near Mr. Allen's end of the bed.
The crude central identity about all bedrooms that had hitherto come within Queed's ken, to wit, the bed, seemed in this remarkable room to be wanting altogether. For how was he, with his practical inexperience, to know that the handsome leather lounge in the bay-window had its in'ards crammed full of sheets, and blankets, and hinges and collapsible legs?
As they hoisted that collapsible stretcher between its poles over the last bleak hurdle of rock, one, the youngest, dropped his end of it, which the doctor, shifting his bag, took up. Jack at a Pinch rushed forward.
On this pond, after his father and Garratt had ascertained by sounding that it had a reliable bottom and was nowhere more than two feet deep, he was allowed a little collapsible canoe, in which he spent hours and hours paddling, and lying down out of sight of Indian Joe and other enemies.
He pointed to the rudder, which projected some distance back of the stern of the aircraft. "How you going to get at it to inspect it?" asked Paul. "It isn't as if we were on solid ground." "And no one has long enough a reach to stretch to it from the deck," added Innis. "You forget our collapsible lifeboat," Dick answered. One of those useful craft was aboard the airship.
What I hoped to achieve, I know not, but hurling the trembling girl aside, I snatched the Browning pistol from my coat pocket, and with the ray of the lamp directed upon the purple mound of velvet, I leaped forward. I think I realized that the curtains had masked a collapsible trap, a sheer pit of blackness, an instant before I was precipitated into it, but certainly the knowledge came too late.
"What do you expect from a German, sir?" Murphy demanded. "Frightfulness is his middle name." "I mean you two and your language. Stop it! You'll contaminate me." "Well, sor," Terence Reardon replied philosophically, "I suppose there's small use cryin' over spilt milk musha, what are they up to now?" "They're dragging a collapsible boat up from below," Mike Murphy declared.
Around them the earth is piled high, and oxen hitched to the well ropes draw up the water in collapsible leather bags or buckets. A general system of elevated ditches then distributes the water where it is needed. Concerning the drought, a resident of Muttra said to me that there practically no rain falls from the middle of January to the middle of June.
