"The brother of the crazy machinist!" gasped Jack. "Now I understand his strange actions. He's crazy, too he wanted to go to Mars he says we will never reach the moon! Say, look here!" cried Jack, raising his voice. "Here's bad news! That scoundrel has put some game up on us! Maybe he's tampered with the machinery!
It has led to most of the splendid mechanical inventions and improvements of the age. It has stimulated the shipbuilder, the merchant, the manufacturer, the machinist, the tradesman, the skilled workman. In all departments of productive industry, it has been the moving power.
"He doesn't need any size or weight," retorted Williamson, crisply. "If Captain Benson wants you off this boat, it's only the matter of a moment for him to get a squad of marines on board and you'll march off to the 'Rogues' march'." "So that's the way he'd work it, eh?" demanded Sam Truax, turning green and ugly around the lips. "You bet it is," retorted the machinist.
“Why—why—there’s Williamson—aft on the deck!” muttered Hastings. “What!” Jack, too, wheeled like a flash. Back there in a crowd of cadets stood the machinist upon whom the submarine boys were depending for the best showing that the “Farnum” could make. “Williamson up here!” gasped Hal. “And—” “That fellow, Truax, all alone with the motors!” hissed Captain Jack.
There isn't a kick in a dozen of 'em. Go back and get your smoke, man!" Hal must have looked at the machinist with unusual sharpness, for Williamson went promptly out through the door, closing it after him. "I'm ready to go aboard, Mr. Benson," proposed Lieutenant Danvers, "and make a start whenever you're so inclined."
The writer came into the machine-shop of the Midvale Steel Company in 1878, after having served an apprenticeship as a pattern-maker and as a machinist. This was close to the end of the long period of depression following the panic of 1873, and business was so poor that it was impossible for many mechanics to get work at their trades.
Pushing the machine under the shade of a tree, a half-hour was spent in replacing the chain and riveting in a new link. All the pins showed more or less wear, and a new chain should have been put on in New York, but none that would fit was to be had. We dined at Peekskill, and had a machinist go over the chain, riveting the heads of the pins so none would come out again.
Rudolph Clausen, Osborne Deignan, and —— Murphy, coxswains, to be chief boatswain’s mates, an increase of twenty dollars a month. George F. Phillips, machinist, from forty dollars a month to seventy dollars a month. Francis Kelly, water tender, to be chief machinist, from thirty-seven dollars a month to seventy dollars a month. Lieutenant Hobson’s reward would come through Congress.
"You haven't any right to go through my pockets!" blustered the stranger. "Oh, haven't I? Well, I'm going to take the right. Jackson Koku just see that he doesn't get away. We'll take him back and search him," and Tom motioned to his chief machinist and the giant, who had reached the scene, to take charge of the man.
The lads found the machinist just opening his shop though it was quite early. The pieces of apparatus were finished and, after paying for them Mark put the parts in the valise. "Quite a fire in town," observed the machinist. "Yes," answered Mark, not wishing to get into a long conversation. "Heard the hotel was blowed up by anarchists and that the police are after 'em," proceeded the man.
