Conscious now of the fumes of leaking gasoline, Carl leaped back. "Monsieur," said he ruefully, and turned. The reflection of the burning oil revealed Monsieur some feet away, running rapidly. Angered by the man's unaccountable indifference, Carl leaped after him.
I doubt if I could, anyhow, with all this wind pressure, and with the gas-bag leaking. Down she is!" As he spoke he shifted the levers, and changed the valve wheels. In an instant the RED CLOUD began to shoot toward the earth. "What's happened? What in th' name of Bloody Gulch are we up ag'in'?" demanded the old miner, springing to his feet.
The greater part of the small colony liked sensation, and nursed this one assiduously until an almost greater came to hand by it leaking out that the two men had been expeditiously sent to Australia, and that the blood on their clothes was not their own, but that of a sheep which had been killed for the purpose of misleading. This exciting revelation lead to important issues.
By repeated jerks she was eventually ours, but leaking so like a basket that we feared we should yet lose her. Pumps inside fortunately kept her free till we passed her topsail under her, and after dropping in sods and peat, we let the pressure from the outside keep them in place. When night fell I was played out, and told the crew they must let her sink.
"If you boy will get ready now," a voice said, "we'll be on, our way toward Peking." "How many of the Chinks did you catch?" asked Ned. "Not a blooming one," was the disgusted reply. "They ran away like water leaking into the ground." "If you'd only let me alone," wailed Jimmie, "I'd have got one. I want to soak the man that tied me up."
Whistle up the larboard watch, bo'sun, and tumble into the boats, all hands." Down splashed the long-boat and down splashed the gig, but in an instant the coxswains and crews were swarming up the falls on to the deck once more. "The boats are scuttled!" they cried. "They are leaking like a sieve." The captain gave a bitter curse. He had been beaten and outwitted at every point.
The valve is intended to open and close instantly, and to supply or cut off steam from the second stage, without affecting the speed regulation or economy of operation. If any leaking occurs past the valve it is taken care of by a drip-pipe to the third stage.
But true friendship is rare; its great value is in a crisis, like a lifeboat. Many a boasted friend has proved a leaking, worthless "lifeboat" when the storm of adversity might make him useful.
She went in, closed the door, and filled the stove from the brush-wood in the box. A little girl was sitting in the corner by the stove, with her feet resting on the hearth. "I thought I heard old Reddy's bell," she said, looking up to her mother. "No; I heard nothing. Poor boy, he must be wet through." The mud roof was leaking, and pans and buckets were placed here and there to catch the water.
After mincing along half an hour or so, I came where I could feel a bit of clear earth, and stood there, dancing on my tiptoes, in the dark, to quicken my blood a little. Presently the damp light of dawn came leaking through the tree-tops. I heard a rattling stir in the bare limbs above me. Was it some monster of the woods?
