About forty of the bodies were those of women. They were immediately removed to the morgue for identification. Dr. Beall, who has the supervision of the morgues in Johnstown, said that so far 2,300 bodies had been recovered in Johnstown proper, most of which had been identified and buried. Dynamite and Derricks Used.
So and So, one of the first merchants on Wall, or Third, or State street, had got swindled? They will keep it still. The guilty range to-day undisturbed through society, and will continue to do so until the Lord God shall bring them to an unerring settlement, and proclaim to an astonished universe how many lies they told about the land, about the derricks, about the yield, about the dividends.
It is true we are crude and young. Behold the Derricks like mighty Youths! In our glorious adolescence so sublime, so ugly, so believing, will no one sing a hymn to the Derricks? Where are the dear little Poets? Where are they hiding? Playing Indian perhaps, or making Parthenons out of blocks. Perhaps they might begin faintly and modestly at first.
Oscar Ames, picking his way carefully among the derricks and stone blocks, grunted when he saw the smile on Jim's face. Jim did not cease to smile when he saw Oscar. "Come up here, Ames! I want your advice!" Oscar grunted again, but this time as if someone had knocked his breath out of him. He paused, then came on up to where Jim was standing.
She's the ship they'd use; she's got steam winches and derricks 'nough to discharge the Ark, and stowage room to hold the cargo down to the last flea, but she's no good for more than eight knots; she steams like as if she'd a drogue behind her, because why? she's got beam engines she's that old, she's got beam engines in her.
The heat got suffocating and the slant of masts and deck made matters worse, because the men must hold the derricks back with guys while the heavy goods cleared the coamings of the hatch. Much judgment was needed to drop them safely in the boats.
"The feller looked up at me and said: 'This ain't bad. You'd ought to see my brother. I'm standing on his shoulders!" The chauffeur laughed loudly at his own humor. "Some country, I call it! But the sun's out, so it will be blowing sand to-morrow." When Burkburnett had been left behind, another and a vaster island of derricks came into view.
The air was heavy with the odor of petroleum. All about us were the ugly, towering derricks of oil and natural gas wells Witten's Bottom on the right, with its abutting hills; the West Virginia woods across the river, and the maple-strewn island between, all covered with scaffolds. The country looks like a rumpled fox-and-geese board, with pegs stuck all over it.
"As soon as we could do it, we all went with the captain to New York, and there we organized our company, and sold a lot of stock, and chartered a good steamer with derricks and everything necessary for raising sunken treasure.
The derricks and the chimneys, when one saw them, seem to have all the land to themselves; but this was an appearance only, terrifying in its strenuousness, but not, after all, the prevalent aspect. That was rather of farm, farms, and evermore farms, lying along the rich levels of the stream, and climbing as far up its beautiful hills as the plough could drive.
