And with these flashes were others that came from windows and roofs with the report of a bursting bomb, and that, on the instant, turned night into day, and then left the darkness more dark. Ford gave a cry of delight. "They're taking flash-light photographs," he cried jubilantly. "Well done, you Pressmen!" The instinct of the reporter became compelling.
Had his eyes deceived him? They evidently had. And then again he told himself that, thinking so much of Gerelda, he had imagined that the face he had seen for a moment in the flash-light bore a striking resemblance to hers. And he persuaded himself to believe that the fisherman's story was a myth.
A Japanese woman came by, smiled at me and I am sure said to herself: "Ah, these Americans they are all crazy!" The last Flash-light of Fun is a picture from the Philippines.
If the cave had no greater claim to notice than these small drip rooms, it would still be worthy of a visit. The effort to secure flash-light pictures could only be considered successful because there are none better to be had.
With his flash-light burning as if its battery provided current by the week instead of by the minute, Athelstan dragged open the mule's pack and produced a host of things. He propped a mirror against the pack and squatted in front of it.
"A drink, if you ain't too busy, but I hate to take your time." "Oh, you go to thunder," said Barry. "Take my time! What am I for? Any pain, Mac?" "No, not much. I'm a little sleepy." Barry turned the flash-light on his face. He was startled to find it grey and drawn. He brought the M. O., who examined the wounded man's condition. "No pain, eh, Mac?" "No, sir," said McCuaig cheerfully.
He paid no attention to the Spaniard, but, addressing Blake and Joe said: "Boys, I have a little task for you. Have you any flash-light powder?" "Flash-light powder? Yes, we have some," Blake said. "But we can't use it for moving pictures. It doesn't last long enough." "Perhaps it will last long enough for what I want," the captain said.
The boy collapsed into a trembling heap, as the officer grasped him and wrested the flash-light from his chilled fingers. He made no protest as they led him down into a dark, deserted village. He followed his captors into a candle-lighted room where sat a staff officer. Briefly the Captain explained the situation. "Caught him in the act of signaling to an enemy plane, sir," he said.
All that day his face had been in a broad smile; even the old book-keeper noticed it and so did Patrick, the night-watchman and sometimes porter; and so did the line of depositors who inched along to his window and were greeted with a flash-light play of humor on his face instead of the more sedate, though equally kindly expression which always rested on his features when at work.
Tom took a flash-light of the cave, and we had it developed, but it was not a howling success. Still, it shows something of the interior. "When we got back to open air again, we noticed the vast mountain-top that sat down upon that gold-mine. This would have to be removed if we mined from the top.
