As the storm of misfortune grew, Eve's courage redoubled; the greatness of her husband's nature, his inventor's simplicity, the tears that now and again she saw in the eyes of this dreamer of dreams with the tender heart, all these things aroused in her an unsuspected energy of resistance. Once again she tried the plan that had succeeded so well already.
The next instant the propeller started revolving and the Monarch passed off over the heads of the savages. "Is any one hurt?" asked the professor, coming from the engine room. "Andy was struck by a spear!" exclaimed Jack. At the inventor's suggestion they carried the old hunter into the cabin, and laid him on one of the bunks. "You take the steering wheel," said Amos Henderson to Jack.
The man was bare-headed, and his scalp was covered with a shiny substance of some kind. When he saw Perkins, he emptied one load of bird-shot into the inventor's legs, and he was about to give him the contents of the other barrel, when Perkins hobbled into the office and shut the door. The man pursued him and tried to break in the door with the butt of the gun.
"The outlay? I am thinking of the outlay." "Mr. Challoner will see to that. I have his word that no reasonable amount will daunt him." "But this Brotherson is suspicious. He has an inventor's secret to hide, if none other. We can't saddle him with a guy of Sweetwater's appearance and abnormal loquaciousness." "Not readily, I own. But time will bring counsel.
Robert Fulton had been interested in steamboats for a period not definitely known, possibly since his sojourn in Philadelphia in the days of Fitch's early efforts. That he profited by the other inventor's efforts at the time, however, is not suggested by any of his biographers. He subsequently went to London and gave himself up to the study and practice of engineering.
I made the requisite drawings, and proceeded with the work. At the same time my own machine tools were in progress, though at a retarded pace. The weekly payments we're regularly made, and I was kept in a sort of financial ease. After three months the rotary engine was finished to the inventor's complete satisfaction.
It is, indeed, conceivable that fresh light on the life habits of the minute organisms of the soil may lead to practical results quite new; but hardly any such light is yet within the inventor's field of vision. This view of the limited prospects of practical microbiology for the fixing of nitrogen in plant-food was corroborated by Sir William Crookes in the Presidential Address already cited.
If you'll only get a boat and some one to row, I can take you right to her." Then Aladdin knew that he had not said all there was to say. "Mister St. John," said Aladdin, "I done it all." Men ran out of the smithy to prepare a boat. "Who is this boy?" said St. John. "It's Aladdin O'Brien, the inventor's boy," said the smith. "Are you strong enough to go with me, O'Brien?" said the senator.
But the water had risen almost to the top of the tank before he was able to grasp its brim and draw himself out. Once on the roof, there was only one thought in his mind. It was nearing eight o'clock, and if Eva kept the appointment at the inventor's he knew his adversaries well enough to be sure that they would take advantage of his absence. He dashed down the stairs and out of the building.
And all 'round it wuz grouped models showing the development of the inventor's dream from the first rough effort at an engine up to the most perfect specimen of to-day. All sorts of electrical railways, freight and work cars, tracks, switches, signals, carriages, ortomobiles, motor vehicles, naval architecture, models, boats, steamships, men-of-war, battleships of the line.
