If I were you, I should go away very quickly, and never stop till I had put stout walls between myself and Popinot." A chill of apprehension sent a shiver stealing down Lanyard's spine. "You're sure?" "But of a certainty, my old one!" "A thousand thanks!" Jumping down, the adventurer cranked the motor, sprang back to his seat, and was off like a hunted hare....
There were more of them hanging shorter above, and there was yet enough of a further mechanism remaining to prove that those keys, by means of the looped and cranked rods, had been in connection with hammers, one of them indeed remaining also, which struck the bells, so that a tune could be played upon them as upon any other keyed instrument.
Hastily they cranked the Golden Eagle motor up, blue flame and sharp reports bursting from her exhausts as they did so. The engine was working perfectly, every cylinder taking up its work as the sparks began to occur rhythmically. "We've put the fat in the fire now," exclaimed Frank, as he took his seat at the steering wheel.
Well, at any rate, it gives wings to the fluttering thought that theories of industrial evolution, one's own as well as Mrs. Gilman's, are a bit like automobiles not always all that they are cranked up to be. Certainly the revival of the home seems to attract larger crowds to the mourners' bench every year.
The sun was just rimming the mountains when he began to tune up his automobile. He filled the tank with gasoline and cranked the engine and was starting out the door when old Suma-theek appeared. Jim stopped. "Where you go, Boss?" asked the Indian. A sudden desire to talk to Iron Skull's old friend made Jim say, "Get in and ride to the bridge with me, Suma-theek."
Finally with his characteristic energy, Kennedy put the taxicab driver aside. "Let me try it," he said. "Miss Dodge, will you arrange that spark and throttle?" Elaine, equal to anything, did so, and Craig bent down and cranked the engine. It started on the first spin. "See!" he exclaimed. "There wasn't anything, after all." He took a step toward the taxicab.
Santos started to protest, but Koa bellowed, "Do it! The lieutenant's right. It's the only chance we've got to warn the ship. Get the scorpion, Santos. Dead amidships!" The young corporal swung into action. His space gloves flew as he cranked the launcher around, turned on the illuminated sight, and bent low over it. Rip stood behind the corporal.
"Just jump in and go," replied Jack. "Why should we explain?" Jack cranked up his car, and in her usual deliberate way, Cecilia Thayer stepped into the runabout, pulled on her gloves, smoothed out the robe, and then said: "Good morning!" Jack and Clip left the others standing in surprise and, perhaps, disappointment. Only Cora guessed where they were actually going.
"There you go," he said. "My turn." Marguerite cranked him up, and they went laughing back inside the house. Oliver was getting a pretty good buzz. Lots of water, he instructed himself as he poured another drink. Jennifer was sitting in an armchair with Emma in her lap.
It seemed a horribly long time before he heard the grinding noise of a motor being cranked. It caught immediately. There was a terrific roaring tumult inside a building. The large door of a hangar tilted and went upward, and a door opened from the watchman's lighted room and he came shouting outside. The roaring of motors changed. The door of the hangar was quite open.
