His finger pressed on the trigger and the next moment Harman's brains, or what he had of them, might have been literally forenint him on the table, when suddenly, tremendous as the last trumpet, paralysing as the inrush of a body of armed men, booing and bellowing back from the cliffs in a hundred echoes came a voice the blast of a ship's syren. "Huroop, Hirrip, Hurop, Haar Haar Haar!"
Then the professor shut off the inrush of water and the Porpoise floated away below the surface of the waves. There was a clicking sound and all the lights went out. The boys and Washington gave a gasp of terror. What did the sudden blackness mean. "Open the side windows," called the professor's voice, and the two machinists obeyed.
Well, he has unfortunately been compelled to leave us, and the way into the office is consequently clear to any sand-bag specialist who cares to wander in. Matters connected with the paper have become so poignant during the last few days that an inrush of these same specialists is almost a certainty, unless and this is where you come in." "Me?"
Ross threw over the lever that admitted water to the tube, opened the forward door, and applied the compressed air. There was a slight jump to the boat's nose, but with the inrush of water as Foster went out, it sank. However, when Ross closed the forward door, and had expelled this water, it rose again, and he anxiously inspected the depth indicator.
In their origin they were precisely alike; but whereas the original pioneers, the hunters and Indian fighters, kept possession of Tennessee as long as they lived, Jackson, at Sevier's death, taking the latter's place with even more than his power, in Kentucky, on the other hand, after twenty years' rule, the first settlers were swamped by the great inrush of immigration, and with the defeat of Logan for governor the control passed into the hands of the same class of men that then ruled Virginia.
The city was so flooded by the inrush of the country folk that many an elector found himself without a roof to shelter him, and the place of voting could accommodate only a portion of the crowd. The rest climbed on roofs and tiles, and filled the air with discordant party cries until space was given for a descent to the voting enclosures.
When the rapidity with which the steamer turned upside down, with the engines working, the fires burning, and the boilers full the darkness, with all the floors become ceilings the violent inrush of water the wild career down the stream are remembered, it will be conceded that the experience of these men was sufficiently remarkable. Search was now made for another passage.
Everything conspired to favour the triumph of dogma over reason. This tradition had been interrupted by the inrush of the wild libertarianism of the desert. But the older tendency presently reasserted itself, stimulated as it was by the political transformation of the caliphate from theocratic, democracy to despotism.
From fire on the one hand, we pass, on the other, to the danger which awaits miners from a sudden inrush of water.
But it very soon became apparent that our fellows were much the better and cooler gunners of the two; for whereas the Russians seemed to ram in their charges and let fly on the instant that their guns were loaded, our men waited, watching the roll both of their own ship and that of the enemy, and firing at her waterline as she rolled away from us, with the result that within the first five minutes of the fight a lucky shot from our 12-pounder sent a shell through her upturned bilge a foot or so below her normal waterline, blowing a hole through her thin plating that admitted a tremendous inrush of water every time that she rolled toward us.
