Dane would have given much to have been free to cross and ask Tau a question or two. Was all this assembly the result of the discovery in the hydro? But even as he asked himself that, the trade cloths were shaken from the hands of the bargainers and Van Rycke gave an order over his shoulder. "Measure out two spoonsful of the dried leaves into a box " he pointed to a tiny plastic container.
He was not quite sure whether Sidney had meant him to stay at the hydro as his guest, so he demanded a bill, paid it, said good-bye, and left for Bonn-on-the-Rhine. He was very exhausted and sleepy. Happily the third-class carriages on the London & North-Western are pretty comfortable.
Dane heard the pad of his feet on the ladder apparently the cub was making sure of escape with his precious find. But the Cargo-master apprentice was frowning. As far as he could see there were only five of the plants. "That's all the catnip you have?" Mura tucked Sinbad under his arm and shooed Dane before him out of the hydro. "There was no need to grow more.
But once Queex had consumed its prey it lapsed into its usual hunched immobility. Dane went for the cage and working gingerly he and Ali got the creature back in captivity. But all the evidence now left were some smears on the floor of the hydro, smears which Ali blotted up for future research in the lab.
"We have a poisoned hydro," Dane said. "One look at the plants we dump will give you the lie. They won't accept our story without investigation." Dane was aroused. Did Ali think he was a stupid as all that? "If you'd take a look in there now you'd believe me," he snapped. "What did you do?" Ali sounded genuinely interested. "Chucked a heated can of lacoil over a good section.
He tooted it raucously, and then continued: "They say some of 'em can go like the wind." "Go right through a tub like this, if once we got in the way," commented Whistler. "Mind you! faster than the Colodia and that's some speed." "Wow!" cried Frenchy. "Don't believe anything on water ever does go faster than a torpedo boat destroyer." "Oh, yes, there are faster boats. How about a hydro?"
HYDROPLANES. Hydro means water, hence the term hydroplane has been given to machines which have suitable pontoons or boats, so they may alight or initiate flight from water.
A bailiff once went to St. Ann's Hydro to serve a writ, and he told me afterwards that he served it on his victim in a Turkish bath, remarking: 'And your heart would have melted within your honour in pity for the poor creature not having a pocket to put the document in. Which observation recalls to my mind the story of a gentleman in a Turkish bath asking a friend to dinner, and saying:
It was for that very reason that they now looked at each other in startled surmise. "The perfect place to plant something!" Dane spoke first. Rip's teeth caught his underlip. The hydro something planted there could not be routed out unless they made a landing on a port field and had the whole section stripped. "Devilish " Rip's mobile lips drew tight. "But how could they do it?"
Emergency hydro supplies consisted mainly of algae which could be stored in tanks and hastily put to use as the plants now in the Queen took much longer to grow even under forcing methods.
