When Waring Ridgway had first come to Mesa he had been a draftsman for the Consolidated at five dollars a day. He was just out of Cornell, and his assets consisted mainly of a supreme confidence in himself and an imposing presence. He was a born leader, and he flung himself into the raw, turbid life of the mining town with a readiness that had not a little to do with his subsequent success.
"I heard you and Miss Summers talking a while ago," he said abruptly. "You said you heard " David looked up, self-conscious. "I heard you laughing." Radbourne's eyes twinkled keenly down on his draftsman. "So you were talking about me?" "There was nothing you couldn't have heard without offense, sir." "I know that. Miss Summers is a loyal friend." "I hope the same can be said of me, sir."
At the blowing of the warm wind Ford aimed the opening gun in his campaign against fate the fate which seemed to be bent upon adding his name to the list of failures on the Plug Mountain branch. The gun-aiming was a summons to Frisbie, at the moment a draftsman in the engineering office of the Great Northern at St. Paul, and pining, like the Plug Mountain superintendent, for something bigger.
We paid up and quit. The most intelligent man in our church was a young draftsman in the Winchester Arms Company. He was a man of boundless energy and great courage. He lost his job. No reason was given. His wife, before her marriage, had been a trained nurse, and in her professional life had nursed the wife of a bank president, who was a director in the gun company.
I afterwards ascertained that Captain Le Compte had been her draftsman, possessing not only much taste for, but a good deal of practice in, the art. The ship in which the Merton's had taken passage to Bombay, had the copper for a teak-built frigate and sloop of war in her, and this had been transferred, among; other articles, to la Pauline, before the prize was burned.
Miss Martha leaned weakly against the shelves and laid one hand on her blue-dotted silk waist. The young man took the other by the collar. "Come on," he said, "you've said enough." He dragged the angry one out at the door to the sidewalk, and then came back. "Guess you ought to be told, ma'am," he said, "what the row is about. That's Blumberger. He's an architectural draftsman.
Then came a race between all the inventors interested in such discoveries, both here and abroad a race to perfect a process which would produce from such wash drawings an exact reproduction upon the printed page, giving all the gradations of the original and doing away not only with the draftsman but with the wood-engraver.
Alexander Anderson, who was to be next to Park in authority, and Mr. George Scott, who was to act as a draftsman; together with a few boat builders and artificers. They were not to be accompanied by any troops from England; but were to be joined at Goree by a certain number of soldiers of the African corps stationed in that garrison, who might be disposed to volunteer for the service. Mr.
"Yes, you will!" was McCloskey's ironical comment, when the draftsman had gone around to the other side of the great crane. "Let him alone," said Lidgerwood. "It lies in my mind that we are developing a genius, Mac." "He'll fall down," grumbled the trainmaster. "That crane won't pick up the '95 clear the way she's lying." "Won't it?" said Lidgerwood. "That's where you are mistaken.
I told him I thought I could, if I had the correct measurements. He put on his coat and left. "Now Mr. Lannarck was a carpenter-contractor. Not a big one, with an office and a draftsman, bookkeeper and such; just a carpenter with a desk in the front room where he kept his papers. He had little education but his figures were correct.
