"We're trying to see," Eph explained, "whether we can do any better guessing than the Secret Service men as to the fellows who were kind enough to lay that mine under us last night." "Got it figured out?" asked the machinist, as he transferred, a generous helping of bacon, eggs and fried potatoes, to his plate.
Ormsby nodded, and asked if there were a machinist in the camp. "Yep," said the spokesman; "up at the Blue Jay mine." "Somebody go after him," suggested Ormsby, flipping a coin; and a boy started on a run. The waiting was a little awkward. The ringing idlers were good-natured but curious. Ormsby stood by and answered questions multiform, diverting curiosity from the lady to the machine.
He had been sitting in that way motionless for an hour, a prey to a terrible excitement. It had come about in this way. He had met in one of the shops he frequented a machinist who rented one of Farnham's houses. Offitt had asked him at noon-time to come out and drink a glass of beer with him.
"They ain't payin' me to kid people," said the other; and then, "What's your hurry?" "Well, I don't want to be stalled in a trainin'-camp." "You won't be stalled if you know your business. What are you?" "I'm a machinist; I've repaired bicycles, an' I know a bit about motor-cycles." "Walk in," said the soldier, and led the way, and presented Jimmie to a sergeant at the desk.
A poor American boy thinks he will like to be a machinist. He gets a job as a new hand on a salary. He works at it a couple of years. Then somebody offers him ten dollars a week more to drive a truck, which is a simple, elementary task. He drops his machinist career for this. He gets more money and it requires no tedious training. So he remains an indifferent mechanic.
Three days later they came in sight of their own planet, but as night came on, and they did not want to land in the dark, the projectile was kept up above until daylight, and a day later a landing was made near the machine shed where the Annihilator had been built. "Well, here we are, safe home again," said Mark. "All but the crazy machinist," added Jack.
A rousing cheer ascended when the grim little "Benson" slipped her moorings and turned her nose out toward the sea. "Your pipe-hungry machinist went on that craft, didn't he!" asked the naval officer, as the crowd began to turn back from the beach. "Yes," nodded Captain Jack. "So there's nothing at all to prevent our getting the 'Hastings' out on the wave as soon as you like."
"You suspect your own machinist, who was aboard?" asked the naval officer, in a low tone, of the submarine boys. "If you'll pardon our not answering directly, sir," Captain Jack replied, "we want to have more than suspicions before we make a very energetic report on this strange accident. But we shall not be asleep, sir, in the matter of finding out. Then we shall make a full report to Mr.
I knew you were a German, Schwen, but I kept you employed at work that could not, by any possibility, be considered as used against your country. You are a good machinist, and I needed you. But if what I hear about you is true, it is the end." "It is the end," said the man simply. "I tried and failed. If it had not been for Eradicate Well, he's smarter than I gave him credit for, that's all!"
Unions hain't no business to call strikes without some show of winnin'..... The boys talk that this strike never had no chance from the beginnin'.... I don't think a heap of that Foote outfit." "Why?" "Rotten place to work, I hear. A good machinist can't take no pleasure there, what with one thing and another.
