That roaring chorus still rang in the boy's ear. "The drain runs to the right of the knoll, and out into the creek bang opposite the Wish. Half-way down it there's a man-hole." An icy pang pierced Kit's heart. "It's quite small, and a bush grows over it. It's a million to one they know nothing of it. Still you should er watch it." The Parson was gnawing his under-lip.
As he shuffled rapidly along he saw the patch of light on the floor beneath the man-hole. But was he mistaken? or was not that patch, dim and dappled before, bright now as the moon? He stopped. His heart was thumping so that he almost expected the covering drain to crack, and reveal him to the world. Suddenly the patch vanished. All was darkness save the red eye of Blob's lantern far away.
"They'll only laugh at me." Entering the tower Mark looked for the glasses in order to make another observation. He could not find them, yet he was sure he had left them on a shelf in the tower. "I wonder if the ghost took them," he said. He heard some one coming up the iron stairs of the small companionway that led down into the interior of the ship through the man-hole.
Leith made a reconnaissance of G11A by night, entering the trench through a man-hole near the mouth of the tunnel. They gained the necessary information and the C.O.'s report was submitted to Brigade Headquarters, who approved of the scheme and orders were issued that the attack should be carried out on Sunday the 19th December.
Most of the workmen were set round the fire, and by way of making ourselves comfortable, by screening ourselves and the fire from the wind, the windows were shut; and, as well as I remember, the copper cover or hatch put over the man-hole of the floor of the room where the fire was; the hatch above being left open for the heated vapour to ascend.
A passably large air-hole, probably the man-hole in the Rue d'Anjou, furnished a light that was almost vivid. Jean Valjean, with the gentleness of movement which a brother would exercise towards his wounded brother, deposited Marius on the banquette of the sewer. Marius' blood-stained face appeared under the wan light of the air-hole like the ashes at the bottom of a tomb.
Close the man-hole hatch!" he cried. "Shut the door of the conning tower!" "What is it?" Jack managed to ask. "We are caught in a whirlpool!" Mr. Henderson yelled as he leaped down the companionway and pulled the heavy steel cover after him. Stricken with a nameless dread, Jack closed the water-tight door of the conning tower and made his way to the cabin.
At this some men grasp levers, others stand by wheels which let on respectively hydraulic power and steam. The captain of the tower, seated on an elevated position, puts his head through a man-hole in the roof of the turret, which hole is covered with a bullet-proof iron hood, having a narrow opening in front.
The entrance to this tower of metal was a narrow opening in the wall of the cone, like the "man-hole" of steam boilers. It closed hermetically by means of an aluminium plate fastened inside by powerful screw pressure. The travellers could therefore leave their mobile prison at will as soon as they had reached the Queen of Night. But going was not everything; it was necessary to see on the road.
Perhaps he would come out on some man-hole at the intersection of streets. Amazement of the passers-by at beholding two bleeding men emerge from the earth at their feet. Arrival of the police, a call to arms of the neighboring post of guards. Thus they would be seized before they had even got out.
