"Sir Bryan Donkin's letter, which appeared in The Times, in January, 1917, and other communications which he published as opportunity offered, brought him an introduction from Sir J.W. Barrett, M.D., then serving as A.D.M.S. with the Australian Force in Egypt, to Miss Ettie Rout, who, by profession a journalist, had come with the Australian and New Zealand Forces with the object of ameliorating, as far as possible, the hardships of war.
Some success in blast burning of dust fuel has been attained in the more commonplace method of the blacksmith's forge, and a boiler furnace is arranged at Messrs. Donkin's works at Bermondsey on this principle. A pressure of about half an inch of water is produced by a fan and used to drive air through the bars into a chimney draw of another half-inch.
In an instant he came back again, glanced furtively at Mr. Donkin's face, and then, once more having recourse to brushing his hat, he said, in a low voice 'You'll not be hard upon him, sir, I hope? 'I must do my duty, replied Mr. Donkin, a little sternly, 'without any question of hardness.
Donkin's face became graver, and the expression more concentrated. Looking up suddenly at Philip, he said, 'You are aware that I am the clerk to the magistrates? 'No, sir, in a tone that indicated the unexpressed 'What then? 'Well, but I am.
'Kester, Kester, lad! said she, in a loud whisper; but Kester was suppering the horses, and in the clamp of their feet on the round stable pavement, he did not hear her at first. She went a little farther into the stable. 'Kester! he's a vast better, he'll go out to-morrow; it's all Donkin's doing.
And then, like a dash of cold water over him, Donkin's words seemed to ring in his ears: "Use your head." With the "seventeen" it meant a matter of minutes, perhaps even seconds. Why smash the window? Why waste the moment required to do it simply to answer the call? The order stood for itself "Hold second Number Two." That was the second section of the Limited, east-bound.

The evidence is clear as to his being present, aiding and abetting, indicted on the 4th section of 1 George I., statute 1, chapter 5. I'm afraid it's a bad look-out. Is he a friend of yours, Mr. Hepburn? 'Only an uncle, sir, said Philip, his heart getting full; more from Mr. Donkin's manner than from his words. 'But what can they do to him, sir? 'Do? Mr.
The next morning, Sylvia's face was a little redder than usual when Harry Donkin's bow-legs were seen circling down the path to the house door.

The French, of whom but a small portion had as yet gained the crest, were unable to resist the impetuous onslaught, and at once gave way. The Rangers were now joined by the 48th and the 29th, so that these, with Donkin's brigade, formed a strong body of troops. The French, who had fallen back, now united with their main body, and the attack was renewed with all the force of Ruffin's division.
And there was no answer save that echo in the room that brought the perspiration streaming down from Regan's face, a harder light into Carleton's eyes and a chill like death into Donkin's heart. Suddenly Donkin pushed back his chair; and his fingers, from the key, touched the crystal of his watch.
