"I don't quite see that," said Lynton obstinately, as if he did not like being taught by the American. "Never mind about understanding it," said Briscoe sharply. "We'll work it out afterwards. You must act now." "I am acting," said Lynton. "We're sailing right away." "But the current's taking us up, Lynton," said Brace quickly.
But for the current's acting, in one direction, on her starboard bow, and the eddy's pressing, in the other, on the larboard quarter, the vessel would have been taken aback; but these counteracting forces brought her handsomely on her course again, and that in a way to prevent her falling an inch to leeward. Now came the trial.
Amid laughter and exclamations Hamilton confessed himself the man who had guessed Latin to be the cause of Miss Current's remaining an old maid; Rose, crying: 'You really are too clever, Aunt Bel! A divergence to other themes ensued, and then Miss Jenny Graine said: 'Isn't Juley learning Latin? I should like to join her while I'm here. 'And so should I, responded Rose.
The current stored in the batteries is simply turned off and on the motors, or the pressure reduced by means of resistance which obstructs the flow, and therefore the power, of the current. To reverse, it is only necessary to change the direction of the current's flow; and in order to stop, the connection between motor and battery is broken by a switch.
Each heave and blow on her bows of the upstanding waves of the current swung the Malahini off the straight lead and wedged her as with wedges of steel toward the side of the passage. Part way in she was, when her closeness to the coral edge compelled her to go about. On the opposite tack, broadside to the current, she swept seaward with the current's speed.
It's lucky I came along. The current's so strong around this bend." "I never saw a boy so welcome before!" gasped Jennie, getting back her courage immediately. "And now I can return your compliment, Nancy," said Bob, laughing. "You saved me from drowning, and if you hang on long enough I'll manage to save you, I guess."
"The current's taking us down stream!" "That's it!" "Goodness me!" exclaimed Jennie. "We'll land somewhere about at the Academy, if we don't look out." At that instant they both heard the swish of oars, or a paddle. In unison they raised their voices in a shout: "Help! This way!"
George found at once that his work meant something more than keeping himself afloat. The current was rapid, and it required all his power to keep from being carried down the river like a helpless log. Waggie was sputtering and pawing the water in his master's wake. "Keep going," shouted Watson. "This current's no joke!" Even he was having no child's play.
The trees had been chopped back; there was nothing to help the current's leap to earth, and he would not be forced to cut and call up the next shack with his battery. He wanted to find a fallen post, but as he struggled forward the half-seen poles came back out of the icy mist in an unending row. He had been out two hours and had not reached the worst spot.
"The current's less a'ready, sir," said the man Gray, who was sitting in the foresheets; "you can ease her off a bit." "Thank you, my man," said I, quite as if nothing had happened, for we had all quietly made up our minds to treat him like one of ourselves. Suddenly the captain spoke up again, and I thought his voice was a little changed. "The gun!" said he.
