As far as I can see that is the question which is up to you and your best friend at the present moment. Are you prepared to jettison the claim on a big fortune for the sake of making your voyage of life together?" They looked at each other and a kind of radiance spread over their faces. "Surely," they answered with one voice.
It came into Joe's mind that garbage-disposal was hardly a subject one would expect to be discussing in interplanetary space. But the Platform wasn't the same thing as a spaceship. A ship could jettison refuse and leave it behind, or store it during a voyage and dump it at either end. But the Space Platform would never land. It could roll on forever.
Not only carts had been left behind, but, as we found in places, sacks of flour, tins of coffee, mattresses and other jettison, thrown out of the carts to lighten their burden. On nearing Elandslaagte we caught up the rear of the fleeing commandos. Here we learned that Generals Botha and Meyer were still behind us with their commandos, near Lombardsdorp.
"Good heavens!" he muttered after a moment's silence. "You don't mean it?" "Fact!" answered Jettison. "Plain, incontestable fact, my lad. Dr. Bryce keeps an account at the Wrychester bank. On the day I'm speaking of he cashed a cheque to self for fifty pounds and took it all in gold." The two men looked at each other as if each were asking his companion a question.
Last of all, the nervous system, which will scarcely have wasted to any appreciable degree. In fact, it is an obvious instance of jettison on the part of the body, throwing overboard those tissues which it could most easily spare, and hanging on like grim death to those which were absolutely essential to its continued existence, viz., the heart and the nervous system.
Bryce motioned his visitors to draw their chairs nearer to his, and when he spoke it was in the low, concentrated tones of a man who means business and confidential business. "Now look here, Mitchington," he said, "and you, too, Mr. Jettison, as you're on this job I'm going to talk straight to both of you.
He'll smother to death! Oh, why doesn't somebody go tell him to come away? Not you! Don't you think of such a trick! Oh, why does he risk his life for a lot of trash I wouldn't have around the house?" The smoke oozes out of the open window. It must be choking in there. For a long time no jettison of household goods appears.
"Are these to go?" she asked with indignant eyes. "No," he answered gravely; "they're the reason for the whole expedition, and their transport is provided for. But you'll have to jettison something else." The selections were made and Lisle summoned one of the packers. "Roll these things up in Mr. Nasmyth's tent, Pete," he bade him. "You'll have to make a cache of them."
Listen to him," for another wail reached them from the disconsolate warship. "He's fixed there as though, he was glued to it. He'll have to jettison all his bunker an' a gun or two afore he gets off. They tell me Cigno means 'swan. I wonder wot's the I-talian for 'goose. Go an' tell Tagg. Tell him to tumble up quick, if on'y for the sake of ole times."
They were still not without hope of saving the ship, though Paul had told them it would be lost; and so they jettison the cargo of wheat from Alexandria. By this time it is broad day and something must be done. The next point is the attempt to beach the vessel.
