Had they been heard for the first time he would have been in a tremor of fear and nervousness; but man soon becomes accustomed to danger, and the nearest must come still nearer to cause his pulse an additional throb. Jack Everson was sensible that through this medley of strange noises there was one sound that was continuous and never changing.
That was all that we had been doing when Bertram died. It is terrible, terrible. I can't believe it. I can't understand it." In spite of his iron nerve, the tragedy seemed to have shaken Everson profoundly. "You had done nothing that might have been dangerous?" asked Kennedy, pointedly. "Nothing," emphasized Everson.
In this case I am quite sure that what I have found indicates air in the arteries, the heart, and the blood vessels of the brain. It must have been a case of air embolism, insufflation." Though Everson seemed all along to have suspected something of the sort, Kennedy's judgment left him quite as much at a loss for an explanation.
There was a low exclamation from Norma. "It's a plot to kidnap me!" she cried, in a smothered voice. "Professor Kennedy I told you I thought so!" Everson and I could only look our inquiries at the startling new turn of events. "Miss Sanford has just been to her state-room," hastily explained Craig.
There wasn't any consumption in the Mason family on either side in a straight line, but the three children all went with it. And there ain't any drink in the Emerson family, on her side or his, all as straight as a string, but Mrs. Everson was a Weaver, and she had a great-uncle who drank himself to death.
"I know the breed; I have twice been the means of saving his life through my medicines, and Mary nursed him for three weeks when he was suffering from a fever." "Yon may be doing him an injustice," ventured Jack Everson, to whom the judgment of his friend seemed bitter. "I wish I could think so, but, Mary, if you can provide us with something in the way of food, Mr.
In the human body, air and particularly the nitrogen in the air, literally form death bubbles." Everson said nothing as he regarded Kennedy's face searchingly, and Craig went on: "Set free in the spinal cord, for instance, such bubbles may cause partial paralysis, or in the heart may lead to stoppage of the circulation.
Jack Everson was hardly less impatient than the doctor over the obstinacy of their lately made friends. He reminded them that the physician had spent a score of years in that part of the world, with which he was so familiar that his judgment ought to outweigh theirs, but the argument was useless. They had decided to stick to the boat that had served them so well and could not be dissuaded.
When Jack Everson demanded to know his identity the fellow replied in a low voice that was not lacking in a certain musical quality: "Mustad!" The young man half expected the answer. "What business brings you here?" "He is my master; I work for him. I have been to see my aged mother, who is very ill. I have just returned to serve my master." "That is not true!
That he should have made the descent and returned so successfully I felt must be a surprise to some one. Who was it? I could not help thinking of Kinsale again. Was he working for two masters? Was he still employed by the insurance company? Was this a scheme to capture all the rich salvage of the ship instead of that percentage to which Everson had secured an agreement with the underwriters?
