If by night or day the whitish vapor was seen ascending from the trenches opposite, then such a hullabaloo of noises would pass along the trenches and through the streets of the towns as to make the spirits of the bravest quail, and woe betide even the little child who at that signal did not instantly cover his face with the hideous gas-mask.
At its end, he was solemnly informed that, though not a native of Yugna, he was entrusted with the command of the defense forces of the city. His skill in arms as evidenced by his defeat of the fleet of Rahn and his ability in command when he met the gas-mask defense of Rahn with a threat of starvation moved the Council to that action.
"An’ gimme a job choppin’ tickets in the subway!" snarled Heinie. "Expec’ me to squeal f’r that? Reeform, hey? Show me a livin’ in it an’ I carry a banner. But there ain’t nothing into it. How’s a guy to live if there ain’t no graft into nothin’?" Joe touched his gas-mask with a sneer: "He’s pushin’ the yellow stuff at us, Heinie," he said; and to me: "You get yours all right.
In ten minutes my mind was made up, and taking my hat I set out for home, where I bathed, ate, and gave by telephone an order for a pickax, a spade, a military gas-mask, and six carboys of sulfuric acid, all to be delivered the next morning at the cellar door of the shunned house in Benefit Street.
A comet's tail, which so many people are afraid of as being poison gas, is almost a perfect vacuum, even at its thickest, and we'd have to wear space-suits anyway. And speaking of vacuum ... whoopee! We don't need mercury any more than a goldfish needs a gas-mask. When we get Mr.
A cable saying the new Divisions will form the 9th Corps and asking me my opinion of Mahon as Corps Commander. I shall reply at once he is good up to a point and brave, but not up to running a Corps out here. Have been sent a gas-mask and a mosquito-net.
At length I climbed out of the hole and dispersed the heaped-up dirt, then arranging the great carboys of acid around and near two sides, so that when necessary I might empty them all down the aperture in quick succession. After that I dumped earth only along the other two sides; working more slowly and donning my gas-mask as the smell grew.
I was wondering if she went "under orders," or if she wished to see the sights we were to see among them, perhaps, her elusive doctor! We turned south, leaving town, and presently passed at Dombasle astonishingly huge salt-works, with rubble-heaps tall as minor pyramids. On each apex stood a thing like the form of a giant black woman in a waggling gas-mask and a helmet.
He lived near Ascot, and nightly slept with a gas-mask beside his bed. He could imagine Uncle John trembling audibly in that quiet model lane, and assuring his faithful wife of his ability to protect her. He laughed at the picture in his mind, and then with a slight frown stopped.
For certainly he could have used a ball at one end a cannon-ball and a mortar at the other. Just as we might use an aerial torpedo at one end, and the image of a mutilated child at the other; or a gas cylinder at one end, and a gas-mask at the other.
