The tins at the depôts awaiting the Southern Party had of course been opened and the due amount to be taken measured out by the supporting parties on their way back. However carefully re-stoppered, they were still liable to the unexpected evaporation and leakage already described. Hence, without any manner of doubt, the shortage which struck the Southern Party so hard. The Fatal Blizzard. Mr.
He lifted up some of the ballast, and saw that it was wet. He went to the well, where all the leakage of the ship is collected to be thrown up by the pumps. The ship was regularly pumped out twice a day, and this duty had been performed just before the crew were piped to supper.
Her cheeks are too sun-browned for the cheeks of an actress. "Well, sir?" Hamish said, at length; and Macleod started. "Very well, then," he said, impatiently, "why don't you go on deck and find out where the leakage of the skylight is?" Hamish was not used to being addressed in this fashion, and walked away with a proud and hurt air.
In another case, viz., that of the Worcester dam, in the United States of America impounding a volume of 663,330,000 gallons, and 41 ft. high, 50 ft. broad at the crest, and formed with a center wall of masonry, with earthwork on each side which gave way in 1875, four years after its completion; here, as in almost all other instances of failure, the leakage commenced at a point where the pipes traverse the dam.
There was enough leakage from Ramos' tightened beam, here at its source, for them to hear what he said. But when, after a moment, Paul Hendricks answered from the distance, "Easy with the talk, fella overinterested people might be listening," they suddenly forgot their own enthusiasms. They realized. Their hides tingled unpleasantly. Ramos' dark face hardened. Still he spoke depreciatingly.
Colonel Ray gave me to understand, of course, that your object in engaging an utterly unknown person was to try and stop this leakage of information. It is still going on, and I cannot stop it. I am quite prepared to give up my post at any moment." Lord Chelsford nodded towards the door. "Will you be so good as to step into the next room for a few minutes, Mr. Ducaine?" he said.
On his desk in his little study stood a private-wire telephone that, without danger of leakage, would put him in direct communication either with my study at Fredonia or with Doc Woodruff's privatest private room in the party national headquarters at Chicago.
We had been fitted out in a very hasty and careless manner, with water-casks built from old worm-eaten staves, which had been laying exposed to the sun for more than a year; so that by the time we had arrived within the above distance of the island, we had lost by leakage full three weeks water, and had every reason to fear the loss of much more from the same cause: it was not therefore time, with a heavy sailing vessel, to attempt beating to windward, in order to reach a place, which we knew we could not gain without a change of wind; and the very great difficulty and uncertainty of getting a supply of water there, determined every one's opinion in favour of bearing away to the northward.
There were many other pieces of apparatus aboard, some not completely installed, the uses of which I shall mention from time to time, as the story progresses. The gas-generating machine was of importance, for there would be a leakage and shrinking of the vapor from the big bag, and some means must be provided for replenishing it.
To secure an accumulator against any leakage from plate, the solderings and the entire plates must be submerged in the liquid, so that nothing projects up out of the acidulated water except two strong rods for making contact. These rods are covered with an insulating varnish from their origin to above the point where they issue from the liquid.
