With marked genius for machinery, he had learned many things about the machinist's trade in odd hours in one of the local shops. He was remarkably quick at picking up new ideas, and had shown splendid, though untrained, talent for making mechanical drawings. Hal Hastings, of the same age, had a stepmother who did not regard him kindly.
Sarah F. Brown, widow, working class family; James R. Williams, machinist's helper, member of union; Mrs. Sarah J. Timmer, wife of a union lineman, and T. J. Byrne, contractor.
For work requiring especial skill or brains, coupled with close application, but without severe bodily exertion, such as the more difficult and delicate machinist's work, from 70 per cent to 80 per cent beyond the average.
He dresses in a machinist's clothes when thus employed in his laboratory, and was long accustomed to work continuously for as long as he was so inclined without regard to regularity, or meals, or day or night. He is willing to eat his food from a bench that is littered with filings, chips and tools.
It was found, indeed, to be necessary either to supply the ship with new boilers or to lift the old ones out of her, and renew entirely the arches and other important parts of them, which could only be done in a machinist's shop, and with facilities not to be found at Gibraltar. In this state of things, it became necessary, in my judgment, either to lay the ship up, or to sell her.
After reaching the conning tower he paused, for a few moments, to look keenly all about him. Yet, look as he would through the night, the machinist's vision could not see that the bush hidden pair on shore, guessing his intention from his stop by the conning tower, had silently taken to the water. With them they towed the metal cylinder, which floated.
One of the truck safety-chains the one on the left side, back was loose. But it couldn't have hurt anything if it had been taken off. We ain't runnin' on safety-chains these days." "Safety-chain loose, you say? so if the truck should jump and swing it would keep on swinging? You tell Williams when you go up ahead that I want that machinist's name."
These men are cowed by authority and I know not what notions they might have of their fate if they are to kidnap the Admiral." "But," I questioned, "is there no possible way to leave him behind?" Grauble sat thinking for a moment. "Yes," he said, "there is one way we might do it. We could shave his beard and clip his hair, dress him in a machinist's garb and smear his hands and face with grease.
All of which leaves us with this interesting vision of a possibly great truth, the truth that you can't have more than one kind of intensity intensity worthy of the name at once. The intensity of the golden age of the histrion was the intensity of his good faith. The intensity of our period is that of the "producer's" and machinist's, to which add even that of architect, author and critic.
Why has one man learned so much and the other nothing? Because the machinist's previous experience served as an interpreter and explained these new contrivances, while the other had no sufficient previous knowledge and so acquired nothing new. "To him that hath shall be given."
