With bad taste perhaps, but still with well-meant sincerity, he was trying to elucidate the personality which had gripped him; while she, though seemingly having no objection to serving as a study for analysis, was constantly thrusting her deflecting sentences in his path. To him words were as clay to the sculptor.
Damon hastened to the generator compartment, and opened the emergency outlet. Finally, by crowding on all the possible power, so that the propellers and deflecting rudders forced the craft down, Tom was able to get out of the grip of the hurricane, and landed just beyond the zone of it on the ground. "Whew! That was a narrow squeak!" cried Ned, as he got out. "How'd you do it, Tom?"
"Oh, you did as much execution as I did," declared the inventor of the weapon. "Bless my ramrod!" cried Mr. Damon. "I never shot so much in all my life before." "Yes, there is enough food to last the natives for a week," observed Mr. Durban, as Tom adjusted the deflecting rudder to send the airship down. "It won't last much longer at the rate they eat," spoke the young inventor with a laugh.
And, since his motive was pure and his soul fearless, they could not work him harm. Thus he stood in the main stream of evil unwittingly attracted by Pender, deflecting its course upon himself; and after passing through the purifying filter of his own unselfishness these energies could only add to his store of experience, of knowledge, and therefore of power.
But Frank's bullet went home, thus deflecting the aim of the man who covered Jack, and the German's bullet went wild. The commander of the submarine, at this juncture, losing his temper at being pursued to the very door of safety, turned and sprang for Jack with a wild cry. He was a big and powerful man, and as he wrapped his arms about Jack, the lad staggered back.
Sometimes she was pointing her nose to the clouds, and again earthward. Again she would be whirling about in the grip of the hurricane, like some fantastic dancer, and again she would roll dangerously. Had she turned turtle it probably would have been the last of her and of all on board. "Yank that deflecting lever as far down as it will go!" yelled Tom to his chum. "I am.
On the "Destroyer" the means of defence consisted simply in a light deflecting deck armor forward, the vessel being intended to fight bows on and depending on her means of offence rather than defence, which were made quite secondary in character. The "Monitor," however, was Ericsson's great contribution to the art of naval war, and with it his name will always be associated.
Clubfoot, still chuckling audibly, walked over to me. I thought he was going to shoot me, he came so straight and so fast, but it was only to get behind me and shut the door, driving me, as he did so, farther into the room. The door by which he had entered stood open. Without taking his eyes off me or deflecting his weapon from its aim, he called out: "Schmalz!"
"The motor is shut off, and deflecting the rudder to a certain angle, a glide is made toward the earth. When they get to a certain distance, you'll see a sudden change take place. There, what did I tell you, Ralph?" The monoplane had abruptly ceased to shoot toward the earth as though falling.
Then, almost as suddenly as the ship had started to fall, it ceased, and rode on an even keel, righting and floating easily in the air. The wind no longer blew with the circular motion, the whirling having come to an end. But the blinding snow continued. Jack staggered from the conning tower, where he had gone to look at the deflecting compass. "What has happened?" he cried.
