A jetmarine was hoisted into drydock and the work crew swarmed over it, rigging the transducers. Would his experiment succeed? Tom wondered. Hopefully, he set to work assembling the electronic control unit. Bud helped the men on the hull for a while, then descended through the hatch to see how Tom was progressing.
Even the Government viewed the loss of trade with concern and sent admiralty draftsmen to copy the lines of the Oriental and Challenge while they were in drydock. British clippers were soon afloat, somewhat different in model from the Yankee ships, but very fast and able, and racing them in the tea trade until the Civil War.
"'That's just what he's done and South American freights higher than we'll live to see them again. He's laid her up to paint her to paint her to paint her! says the little clerk, dancin' like a hen on a hot plate.

Cortlandt fancied his eyes were following a particular figure, for she responded, "And how did you like her?" "Like her Miss Benson? Why, I didn't see much of her. I thought she was very intelligent seemed very much interested when Lieutenant Green was explaining to her what made the drydock dry but they were all that. Did you say her eyes were gray?
He was down at Hunter's Point drydock, superintending the repairs to the steam schooner Amelia Ricks, which recently on a voyage to Seattle had essayed the overland route via Duxbury Reef. When Matt reached home that night he found his ingenious father-in-law fairly purring with contentment. "Well, Matt, old horse," Cappy piped, "I've chartered the Narcissus.
In the morning the submarine was hauled up into an improvised drydock and her hull plates examined. It was Lieutenant Danvers's first chance to realize how superbly these Pollard boats were built and put together. He examined the hull with unbounded enthusiasm. Then a gang of workmen started in to replace the two injured plates. For the next three days the "Benson" was used in target practice.
