The question is, what I am to do with you for your safety, and I should be obliged if two of you would come aboard to discuss matters with me. One whom I will specially ask is Captain Carrington. Ken's breath came quickly as he watched his father step across out of the boat on to the steel deck of G2, but like the trained soldier that he was, he did not move.
'You can tell the Pacha I shall respect his wishes, he said, as Ken left his cabin. All that night G2 cruised on the surface, going only at half speed so as to economise petrol, and at the same time re-charge her dynamos. As for Ken, tired out with his exertions, he lay upon the throbbing steel floor, wrapped in a blanket, and slept as peacefully as he had ever slept in his life.
In a trice G2 began to sink, and within an incredibly short space of time she had dipped out of sight beneath the sea, and the boat lay alone on the surface, rocking slightly to the send of the small gray waves. For the first time Ken had leisure to glance round at his companions.
Ken went cautiously back past the amazing tangle of spinning, whirling machinery. Where the long interior narrowed to the stern hung a thick curtain. The sentry silently parted it, and Ken found himself in the officer's quarters of G2. They were as plain as the steerage on a liner. Just two bunks and in the middle a table at which Lieutenant Strang sat, busily writing.
In the last hour and a half we've covered roughly the distance the Queen could have gone on her own in, say, thirty days." "Then where ..." "Home," Gefty said simply. "It's ridiculous! Other side of the Hub from where we started." He nodded at the plate. "Eastern Hub Quadrant. Section Six Eight. The G2 behind the green dot that's the Evalee system.
''Tis only one o' them tin Turkish rattle-traps, said Bill with a pitying air. 'The old man'll slap a tin fish into her afore she knows what's hit her. As he spoke, the engines were already quickening, and G2 had begun to glide away at the top speed of her powerful electrics. The deep hum of the dynamos filled the long interior, and on every face was a look of eager expectancy.
The spaces or justifiers I, released from their magazine H, as heretofore described, descend into the assembler G in front of the star-wheel in the same manner as the matrices. The line in course of composition is sustained at its front end by a yielding finger or resistant g, secured to a horizontal assembler slide g2, the purpose of these parts being to hold the line together in compact form.
'Yes, I've heard that, Strang answered, staring keenly at Ken. 'Well, sir, the Pacha says that the first lot is to leave Constantinople to-morrow. They are going with a batch of troops in a transport called the "Bergaz." 'And, he added 'my father will be with them. The commander of G2 pursed his lips in a soundless whistle. 'By Jove, he said slowly, 'this is worth hearing.
Two small guides, G1 G2, are made for the plunger. The holes through which the slide rod moves should be a good fit, and their centres at the level of the centre of the coil. Screw holes are bored in the feet. Pass the plunger through the coil, and place the guides on the rod. Then draw the plunger forward till 1/2 inch projects.
G1 is abreast of the mouth of the pump, G2 about half an inch forward of the end of the cylinder. The striker, S, is a piece of brass strip soldered to 1/2 inch of tubing fitting the piston rod. The collar is tapped for two screws, which prevent S slipping on the piston rod. The rods for R1 R2 are now provided with forks, made by cutting and filing notches in bits of brass tubing.
