"I've heard of it, but not seen it," said Baldwin. "Of course I know somewhat about raisin' ships, havin' once or twice lent a hand, but I've no head for engineerin'. What are the various modes you speak of? That's not one of 'em, is it?" He pointed, with a grave smile as he spoke, to the outline of a female head which Edgar had been absently tracing on the paper.
Peter attended their departure full of interest, and as soon as they were in the fir woods MacLure explained that it would be an eventful journey. "It's a'richt in here, for the wind disna get at the snow; but the drifts are deep in the Glen, and th' 'ill be some engineerin' afore we get tae oor destination."
I believe some of the Tyneside engineerin' corps put ten per cent of their men through the Fleet engine rooms. But there's no need to stay talking here all the afternoon. Come and see the I.G. in his lair the miserable conscript driven up to the colours at the point of the bayonet."
"Ef we do we shall get there some time ter-night, but ef we stay here we shan't, that's sartin." "Do you suppose they'll follow us?" inquired I. "Sartin sure," responded Jerry; "but I reckon by good engineerin' we kin keep 'em off, so that their arrers won't hurt us much: it's a mighty lucky thing they ain't got no firearms." We immediately mounted our horses and rode out upon the plain.
Hamilton is really quite a wonderful cook; aren't you, Hammy, dear? Of course, I knew how to make fudge, and I am learning to scramble eggs. We go out for dinner a lot, too." "Isn't that nice?" says Vee, encouragin'. Gradually we got the whole story. It seems Blake wasn't a captain any more, but had an engineerin' job on one of the new tubes, so they had to stick in New York.
Peter attended their departure full of interest, and as soon as they were in the fir woods MacLure explained that it would be an eventful journey. "It's a' richt in here, for the wind disna get at the snaw, but the drifts are deep in the Glen, and th'ill be some engineerin' afore we get tae oor destination."
He was a caution. Well, sir, as I was sayin', him an' me loaded the little Blatterbat to the guards an' started up the Koyokuk, me firin' an' engineerin' an' him steerin', an' both of us deck-handin'. Once in a while we'd tie to the bank an' cut firewood. It was the fall, an' mush-ice was comin' down, an' everything gettin' ready for the freeze up.
"Who'd have thought we'd done such a piece of engineerin', when we started out?" inquired the dear one of Mr. Briley's heart, as he tenderly helped her to alight at Susan Ellen's door. "Both on us, jest the least grain," answered the lover. "Gimme a good smack, now, you clever creatur';" and so they parted. Mr. Briley had been taken on the road in spite of his pistol.
"Whose car?" "Never mind whose. Why're you askin' so many questions? It'll take you an' the four to The Montmorency at ten o'clock. When he comes out every one of you let go, the whole bunch, understand. If they don't find five bullets in him there'll be trouble to-morrow." "What do we get out of it?" "A hundred apiece fer you an' a hundred an' fifty fer me fer engineerin' the job.
Ed went away to school, winters down to Boston, to a school of tech tech well, a place where they taught him engineerin' an' minin' an' such. Summers he worked in a mill over to Lansing." "Is Miss Walton well off?" "Only tolerable, I guess. She's got that house and what little money was saved out of her father's smash-up." "Where does she live when she's not here, Mr. Prout?" "New York.
