His residence was bought by the corporations and converted into the Lowell Hospital. In 1840, the Massachusetts Mills were established; and the South Common, of about twenty acres, and the North Common, of about ten acres, were laid out. During this year appeared the Lowell Offering, a monthly journal, edited by Miss Harriet Farley and Miss Hariot Curtiss, two factory girls.
Price laid down Montague's own course of procedure in a few brief sentences. They had just two weeks before the stockholders' meeting, and it was arranged that he should start for Mississippi upon the following day. When the conference was over, Montague rode up town with Harry Curtiss. "What was that Davenant said about the Governor?" he asked, when they were seated in the train.
In some never-to-be-explained manner, however, the frightened Sam suddenly lost his balance in the tossing racing boat, and, clawing desperately at her bulwarks to save himself, shot over the side. "He'll drown!" shouted Jack Curtiss. "He can't swim, and he'll drown." "If you knew that, why didn't you stand by him?" truculently growled Tubby.
In some monoplanes the motor, especially the Gnome, itself rotates, carrying the blades with it. In biplanes, such as the Burgess, Wright or Curtiss, it is the custom to operate the propellers directly from the motor, either by means of a shaft, or by sprocket chains. But, in any case, the starting of the engine means the whirling of the propellers, for they are directly connected.
Many of us housed in tents. Not enough hangars. We sit around and tell lies in the long grass at night, like a bunch of kids out camping. Went over and had a beer at Peter McLoughlin's today, that's where Glenn Curtiss started out from to make his first flight for Sci. Amer. cup. Like my new Bagby machine better than Blériot in many respects, has non-lifting tail, as should all modern machines.
Montague had never met him before, but he knew him as a junior partner in the firm of William E. Davenant, the famous corporation lawyer the man whom Montague had found opposed to him in his suit against the Fidelity Insurance Company. Harry Curtiss, whom Montague was to know quite well before long, was a handsome fellow, with frank and winning manners.
"Do you know what's the matter?" asked Curtiss. "Yes, I do," said Montague. "What is it?" "It's a long story just some graft that I wouldn't stand for." "Oh!" cried Curtiss, with sudden light. "Is it the Hill Manufacturing Company?" "It is," said Montague. It was Curtiss's turn to stare in amazement. "My God!" he gasped. "Do you mean that you have thrown up the sponge for that?"
DOONE. Yes, poor brute. That smashed Benoit's chances of promotion altogether. Mrs. Benoit used to ask: 'Was you goin' to the dance this evenin'? CURTISS. Hang it all! Gaddy hasn't married beneath him. There's no tar-brush in the family, I suppose. JERVOISE. Tar-brush! Not an anna. You young fellows talk as though the man was doing the girl an honour in marrying her.
"By the way," Oliver remarked after a moment, "the Prentices have asked Alice up to Newport. Alice seems to be quite taken with that young chap, Curtiss." "He comes around a good deal," said Montague. "He seems a very decent fellow." "No doubt," said the other. "But he hasn't enough money to take care of a girl like Alice." "Well," he replied, "that's a question for Alice to consider."
Blériot had crossed the English Channel; McCurdy had, in March, 1909, calmly pegged off sixteen miles in the "Silver Dart" biplane; Paulhan had gone eighty-one miles, and had risen to the incredible height of five hundred feet, to be overshadowed by Orville Wright's sixteen hundred feet; Glenn Curtiss had won the Gordon Bennett cup at Rheims. California was promising to be in the van of aviation.
