Directly in front of the Dewey's commander, just above the electric rudder button, glowed four little light bulbs in bright red -one for each of the torpedo tubes in the bow bulkhead. When they were lighted thus it indicated that every chamber was loaded. As soon as a torpedo was discharged the bulb corresponding with the empty tube faded out.
Of a sudden the periscope disappeared from the crest of the sea as though wiped out completely by the explosion of the Dewey's shell. "No doubt of it, boys; you ripped off that periscope," announced McClure, with an air of finality. At their commander's words the gun crew burst into cheers. The submersible's wireless was singing out a message of good cheer to the American fleet.
It was true that each one of these men had relatives for whom they were working, the thought of whom enabled them to bear hard work and privations thousands of miles away from home, and Richard Dewey's appeal touched their hearts. "That's so! Dewey is right. Let him go, O'Reilly!" said the crowd. The one man who was not touched by the appeal was O'Reilly himself.
I wrote such a protest, but did not publish it, at Admiral Dewey's request, and also for fear of wounding the susceptibilities of Major-General Merritt, but I have let it be known in every other way that we do not recognize the Dictatorship. These people only respect force and firmness. I submit, with all deference, that we have heretofore underrated the natives.
Then he turned to Jed, and asked, "Is there a house near here?" "Jim Lane lives up the trail 'bout half a quarter. Ever hear tell o' Jim?" "No, I have never been in these mountains before." "I 'lowed maybe you'd heard tell o' Jim or Sammy. There's them that 'lows Jim knows a heap more 'bout old man Dewey's cave than he lets on; his place bein' so nigh.
The British bluejackets said that the rations of frozen mutton from Australia which we sent alongside were excellent; but the Germans were in no position to judge, doubtless through an oversight in the detail of hospitality by one of Admiral Dewey's staff. Let us be officially correct and say there was no mutton to spare after the British had been supplied.
The chaperone, who seemed to be the landlady, did not engage in a brief conversation that ensued within the room. At its conclusion Andy saw his aunt hand Dewey a folded piece of paper. The defaulting circus cashier gallantly bowed over her extended hand and came out of the room. "Hold on, Mr. Sim Dewey," spoke Andy, down the stairs in a flash, and seizing Dewey's arm on the landing. "Eh?
So obvious is all this that a common charge against the humanistic authors 'makes me tired. 'How can a deweyite discriminate sincerity from bluff? was a question asked at a philosophic meeting where I reported on Dewey's Studies. Mr.
It may have been fancy; but I thought, while I sat there awaiting her appearance, that I heard angry words in the room above. The heavy tread of a man's foot was there; but the sound ceased all at once so did the voices. A little while afterwards Mr. Dewey came down stairs, and went out, as I have said. Some minutes passed before I heard the rustle of Mrs. Dewey's garments.
The Dewey's torpedo range was two miles, but her commander preferred to be within less than six hundred yards for a sure shot. McClure could now see the leader of the German squadron -a powerful battle cruiser -crowding on all speed. His guns astern, powerful fourteen-inch pieces in twin turrets, were in action, firing huge salvos at his pursuers.
