"The greater part of the British fleet was sent to the bottom. Our losses were insignificant." "Were you there?" asked Frank. "Why, no," said the German, "but " "Well, we were there," said Frank. "Therefore, we know something about it. I give you my word that I saw one German dreadnaught, two battle cruisers and four cruisers sunk with my own eyes.
The commander of a torpedo boat must be familiar with the service on board a dreadnaught or on any other large ship, for only those who are intimately acquainted with the kind of ship they are going to attack possess sufficient skill to destroy it. For the first time in the autumn of 190- some of us were surprised at the announcement: "Ordered on board a submarine."
They found the channel well patrolled by war craft and no sooner had they lost sight of one, than another quickly appeared. At Cherbourg a French dreadnaught halted them and an officer came aboard to give them a new chart of the mine fields between there and Calais and full instructions how to proceed safely.
Henry stood by him, and with the woman acting as interlocutor, between our driver and her husband we soon had the trouble located and the dissimulator Henry maintains that all engine trouble is connected in some way with a dissimulator rectified, and while the job was going on, he expounded the twelve cylinders to the French, puffed on his dreadnaught pipe, and left the lady from Oklahoma City to me.
"Do my eyes deceive me?" cried Betty, springing up and pointing toward the mainland, "or is that the good old Pine Island dreadnaught steaming majestically from the harbor? Tell me some one am I right?" "You are!" cried Grace, dramatically. "That noble ship could be no other." "Oh, do stop your nonsense," cried Mollie impatiently. "Are you sure that's the ferry?"
Militarism, which in days of peace cries, Build me vast armaments, spend enough upon a single dreadnaught to remake the educational system of a whole state; militarism, which in the days of war cries, Give me your best youth to slay, leave the crippled and defective to propagate the race, give me your best to slay; militarism, which lays its avaricious hand on every new invention to make gregarious death more swift and terrible, and when war is over makes the starved bodies of innumerable children walk in its train for pageantry, we are not resigned to that.
"Yes, ma'am, and no mistake," said the mate, who was pacing the deck, near them, wrapped up in a great dreadnaught coat, and occasionally stopping to look up at the sails, or at the compass, or over the ship's side; "Mother Carey's chickens are out in good numbers to-night." "Are they not a sign of rather rough weather, Mr. James?" asked Mr. Lee.
The British cruiser Defense, making straight for the German dreadnaught Westphalen, hurled a shell aboard the German flagship that burst amidships. There was a terrible explosion and men were hurled into the water in little pieces. A hole was blown through the upper deck. But the Defense paid dearly for this act.
There was his writing-table and chair, his dreadnaught suit and thick walking shoes and staff there in the drawing-room; the table, fitted like a jeweler's counter, with a glass cover, protecting and exhibiting all the royal and precious tokens of honor and admiration, in the shape of orders, boxes, miniatures, etc, bestowed on him by the most exalted worshipers of his genius, hardly to be distinguished under the thick coat of dust with which the glass was darkened.
I have, for an example, known for a week of the blowing up of a British dreadnaught thousands of people know it privately and yet it isn't published! Such secrecy makes you fear there may be other and even worse secrets. But I don't really believe there are. It's beginning to wear on us badly. It presses down, presses down, presses down in an indescribable way.
