Ten feet marked on the diagram, and then there was an index finger pointing east. He paced the distance as accurately as he could, but by this time he had entered the cave so far that he could scarcely see about the place. But he had come prepared for just such an emergency as this, and taking a candle and match from his game-bag, he proceeded to make a light.
The rector went into his study while Bob wagged a knowing head at his broad retreating back. "He knows what we want, you bet" he whispered. "No flies on that preacher. I like him. I like any man who can do things without a diagram and directions for using." Donna nodded. She was quite impressed at the clergyman's perspicacity.
And Mr. O'Rourke with a wavering forefinger drew a diagram of the interesting situation on the door-step. "Well," returned Mrs. Bilkins, "if you're a married man, all I have to say is, there's a pair of fools instead of one. You had better be off; the person you want doesn't live here." "Bedad, thin, but she does." "Lives here?" "Sorra a place else." "The man's crazy," said Mrs.
"I know the spot well," he exclaimed, after looking at the diagram for a moment. "All the better," said the rear admiral. Then after some further directions and instructions from the officer, Clif saluted and took his leave, happy in the thought that he had been singled out for such important duty and that he would have this opportunity of active work.
While they watched with fascinated eyes, he would trace a diagram in the pavement to show how the Grand Canal, in its wanderings, exactly describes the letter "S." His eyes would glow as he told of the grandeur of Venice in the time of the Doges, or cause the children to shudder at gruesome accounts of how, in the olden time, the prisoners were thrown from the Bridge of Sighs, into the water below.
We cut across fields with the same confidence that, following a diagram of city streets in a guidebook, a man turns to the left for the public library and to the right for the museum. Our own guns were speaking here and there from their hiding-places; and overhead an occasional German shrapnel burst. This seemed a waste of the Kaiser's munitions as there was no one in sight.
At the same time the angle of heel is shown on a second graduated scale, E. Having obtained the metacentric height, reference to a diagram will at once show the whole range of stability; and this being ascertained at each loading, the stowage of the cargo can be so adjusted as to avoid excessive stiffness in the one hand and dangerous tenderness on the other. It will thus be seen that Mr.
At this point the crude lines of the diagram stopped, and immediately below, between the map and the three names, it was evident that there had been considerable writing. But not a word of it could the young hunters make out. That writing, without doubt, had given the key to the lost gold. Rod looked up, his face betraying the keenness of his disappointment.
After a little jocose laughter they departed to their lodgings, and Rickie, having seen them as far as the porter's lodge, hurried, singing as he went, to Ansell's room, burst open the door, and said, "Look here! Whatever do you mean by it?" "By what?" Ansell was sitting alone with a piece of paper in front of him. On it was a diagram a circle inside a square, inside which was again a square.
Fandor tapped on the glass with his cane, got out, paid the driver and made his way to the house where Juve lived. He still had his pass-key and let himself in, calling: "Hello! Juve, are you in?" There was no answer, so Fandor sat at Juve's desk and wrote a long letter, then tracing a diagram upon another sheet, he put them into an envelope addressed to "Monsieur Juve Urgent."
