Two trials were made with this vessel in October, 1883, and again in the following September, when it proved itself capable of holding its course in calm air and of being readily controlled by the rudder. But, ere this, a number of somewhat similar experiments, on behalf of the French Government, had been entered upon by Captains Renard and Krebs at Chalais-Meudon.
Dickinson and Gorse became alarmed, and one morning the banker turned up at the Club while I was eating my breakfast. "Look here, Hugh," he said, "we may as well face the fact that we've got a fight ahead of us, we'll have to start some sort of a back-fire right away." "You think Greenhalge has a chance of being elected?" I asked. "I'm not afraid of Greenhalge, but of this fellow Krebs.

"Yes," she said. "How many do you think?" She hesitated. "It isn't a very large hall, you know. I should say it would hold about eight hundred people." "And it was full?" I persisted.
In that philosophy every man had his price, or his weakness. Yet, such is the inconsistency of human nature, I was now unable to contemplate this attitude with calmness. "Mr. Krebs is a lawyer. Has he accepted a pass from the Railroad?" I demanded, knowing the custom of that corporation of conferring this delicate favour on the promising young talent in my profession.
It was as Jeannot kissed his sister Marie, who was fifteen years old and sold milk for the Krebs people in the villages with a little green cart and a yellow dog no more.
Hutchins explained that I was at college with Krebs. "These people must like him," I said, "or they wouldn't have sent him to the legislature."

"Want me, Colonel?" he inquired blithely, when the door had closed behind him; and added obsequiously, when introduced to me, "Glad to meet you, Mr. Paret. My regards to Mr. Watling, when you go back. "Alf," demanded the Colonel, "what do you know of this fellow Krebs?"
He dashed into the conversation; laughed, jested, and ridiculed; told stories in Yankee and Western dialect; gave sharp little sketches of amusing political experiences. "Never was more surprised in my life," whispered Senator Krebs, of Pennsylvania, across the table to Schneidekoupon. "Hadn't an idea that Ratcliffe was so entertaining." And Mr.
For lack of one I had been rudely jolted out of the frail shell I had thought so secure, and stood, as it were, naked and shivering to the storms, staring at a world that was no function of me, after all. My problem, indeed, was how to become a function of it.... I resolved upon a course of reading, but it was a question what books to get. Krebs could have told me, if he had lived.
