Harberry to the school-master, "I do not suppose you have given much attention to the study of commerce, and therefore are not prepared to give us any information in regard to stored electricity as an article of export from this country; but perhaps you can tell us what stored electricity is, and how it is put into boxes."
It was the electricity leaking out and uniting itself and the iron ship into a sort of conglomerate magnet that was out of the way." "Mr. Cardly," said Mr. Harberry, "if an iron ship were magnetized in that manner, wouldn't it have a deranging effect upon the needle of the compass?" The marine did not give the school-master time to make answer.
The fact was there wasn't anything to do, and so after a while I managed to get asleep, which was a great comfort." "Mr. Cardly," said Mr. Harberry to the schoolmaster, "what reason can you assign why a seamonster, such as has been described to us, should neglect to seize upon several small boats filled with men who were escaping from a vessel which it held in custody?"
It was, of course, useless for me to endeavor to follow her, and I therefore concluded to give up the marine service for a time and go into another line of business, about which it is too late to tell you now." "Mr. Cardly," said Mr. Harberry to the school-master, "have you ever read that the British Government has a submarine cable from Madras to Rangoon?"
Harberry suggested that he was what the village of Riprock believed him to be. "I should not have taken you for a sailor," said the blacksmith. "I am not a sailor," said the other; "I am a soldier; a sea-soldier in fact, a marine."
He was an enthusiast on Natural History and Mythology, and had written an article for a weekly paper on the reconciliation of the beasts of tradition with the fauna of to-day. Mr. Harberry was not looking at the marine. His eyes were fixed upon the school-master. "Mr. Cardly," said he, "did you ever read of an animal like that?"
"Mr. Cardly," here interrupted Mr. Harberry, "how long does it take to count a million?" "That depends," said the school-master, "on the rapidity of the calculator; some calculators count faster than others. An ordinary boy, counting two hundred a minute, would require nearly three days and a half to count a million." "Very good," said Mr. Harberry; "please go on with your story, sir."
I shall be in the garden, if you want to consult me at any time, so we shall all be busy together!" The abashed faces stared at her in a solid wall of discomfiture, and Peggy retreated hastily, and paused behind a harberry fence to have her laugh out, before repairing to the shed where the gardening tools were stored.
Harberry, an elderly man, a man of substance, and a man in whom all Riprock, not excluding himself, placed unqualified confidence as to his veracity, his financial soundness, and his deep insight into the causes, the influences, and the final issue of events and conditions.
Harberry to the school-master, "have you ever read, in any of your scientific books, that the Bay of Bengal is subject to heavy fogs that last day after day?" "I cannot say," answered the school-master, "that my researches into the geographical distribution of fogs have resulted " "As to fogs," interrupted the marine, "you can't get rid of them, you know.
