Carter's digestion or the serenity of his mind at the beginning of their interview, the news he had to impart would serve as an effective detonator, after which it would be every man for himself.
I simply shut off my mind and pretended I was doing an experiment as simple as Guy Fawkes fireworks. I got a detonator, and fixed it to a couple of feet of fuse. Then I took a quarter of a lentonite brick, and buried it near the door below one of the sacks in a crack of the floor, fixing the detonator in it. For all I knew half those boxes might be dynamite.
This projectile follows the usual pear-shape, and has a rotating tail to preserve direction when in flight. The detonator is held away from the main charge by a collar and ball-bearing which are held in place by the projecting end of a screw-releasing spindle.
All I'm asking for is a detonator something to start the action, you know, or something novel in the way of an explosive. Perhaps an adaptation of one of those grenades that the Chinese pirates throw when they want to drive their victims suffocating into the sea. I realize that there isn't much use engaging Uncle John with ordinary Christian weapons; he's practically bomb-proof."
Innocent it would, in truth, have been but for the little detonator in its heart, without which it would only have burned, not exploded. Attached to this disc was an instantaneous fuse of some length, so that an operator could throw the disc into a passing boat, and then fire the fuse, which would instantly explode the disc.
"I wonder what kind of a safe Luke has got," murmured Racey. "Damfino," said the Judge. "You know anything about dynamite how it's handled, huh?" "Shore, handle it carefully." "I mean how to prepare a fuse and detonator and stick it in the cartridge. You know how?" "I helped a miner man once for a week. Shore I know. You cut the fuse square-ended.
"And all the proof of Milburgh's guilt gone up in smoke, eh?" he said. "I think I know what those books contained a little clockwork detonator and a few pounds of thermite to burn up all the clues to the Daffodil Murder!" All that remained of the once stately, if restricted, premises of Messrs. Dashwood and Solomon was a gaunt-looking front wall, blackened by the fire.
The landlord, however, thought he could touch off one of the rockets anyway, so he seized a large detonator and with a red hot poker tried to see how it would work. Finding the fuse, as he thought, too wet, he threw the rocket on the floor and left the room. Directly after, Paul heard a hissing noise and realized that the landlord had succeeded in leaving a live spark in the fuse.
"Misfire," was the polite remark of the sergeant. "Those fuses are giving us more trouble than enough." Another detonator was put on, everything was ready again. Another tug was given. Again no explosion. Remembering the happenings of the morning in another pit, when a premature burst occurred, I felt anything but comfortable.
These bombs are similar in shape to the shrapnel projectile, but are charged with petrol or some other equally highly inflammable mixture, and fitted with a detonator. When they strike the objective the bursting charge breaks up the shell, releasing the contents, and simultaneously ignites the combustible.
