Britling was saying these words, in Sarajevo in Bosnia, where the hour was somewhat later, men whispered together, and one held nervously to a black parcel that had been given him and nodded as they repeated his instructions, a black parcel with certain unstable chemicals and a curious arrangement of detonators therein, a black parcel destined ultimately to shatter nearly every landmark of Mr.
Therefore I would shovel my stuff in heaps at the corners of the streets if I had enough for that; and as I haven’t, I do my best by perfecting a really dependable detonator.” Ossipon, who had been mentally swimming in deep waters, seized upon the last word as if it were a saving plank. “Yes. Your detonators.
He sees the gunners, as drilled and precise as the men he saw at the forges, swing out the breech block and run the shell, which has met and combined with its detonators and various other industrial products since it left the main dump, into the gun. The breech closes like a safe door, and hides the shell from the visitor. It is "good-bye."
A cold, white Paris fog covered the city that night as they drove to the station, and the fog detonators and horns followed them as they glided out slowly from beneath the great glass roof.
"We'll give them a lead!" Salter ventured another expostulation: "Stay where you are! How are you going to manage, if the boys can't tackle the thing?" "They haven't as much at stake as I have," was Vane's reply. "I'm a director of the company, as you pointed out. Give me two sticks of giant-powder, some fuse, and detonators!"
Then came the cruellest blow of fortune, for many of the bags and boxes of bombs sent up during the afternoon were found to contain bombs without detonators, many others were filled with types of grenades we had never seen. In spite of this there was one officer who always managed to find the wherewithal to reply to the German attacks.
Still, the bag was thrown, and Saunders set off with it, while Weston stood gasping a moment and looked at Devine. "There's the bag of detonators yet," he said, and, swinging around, disappeared again. Devine remembered that there was no lid to the iron box in which they kept the detonators, and that they were intended to be ignited by the sparking of a fuse.
"I see; you mean that it goes off quickly," said my mother, in a simple way that was eminently characteristic. "Well, yes; but much more quickly than gunpowder does. It were better to say that a powder detonates when it all explodes at the same instant. Gunpowder appears to do so, but in reality it does not. One of the best detonators is fulminate of mercury.
I shouldn’t wonder if it weren’t one of your detonators that made a clean sweep of the man in the park.” A shade of vexation darkened the determined sallow face confronting Ossipon. “My difficulty consists precisely in experimenting practically with the various kinds. They must be tried after all. Besides—” Ossipon interrupted. “Who could that fellow be?
The charges were sewn up in pieces of the canvas, the smaller charges for the ammunition boxes being enclosed in thinner stuff that had been sewn under the canvas used in packing; the fuses and detonators were then cut and inserted. Chris was perfectly up in this work, having performed the operation scores of times in the mines. The length it should burn was only decided after a discussion.
