Instead of that there was usually a feeble splutter from the nozzle, and sometimes none at all, even if the hose did not break; it was fun to see the hose break. The Neptune was a favorite with the boys, though they believed that the Tremont could squirt farther, and they had a belief in its quiet efficiency which was fostered by its reticence in public.
The words from the scare-column of the paper he held smote his sight: "War Inevitable Transvaal Bristling with Guns and Loaded to the Nozzle with War Stores Milner and Kruger No Nearer a Settlement Sullen and Contemptuous Treatment of British Outlander." ... And so on.
He did not dismount, and as the roan plunged velvet nozzle into the spring, a picture rose in Buck's mind of that other day how long ago it seemed! when he himself, sagging painfully in the saddle, had sucked the water with as great an eagerness out of a woman's soggy Stetson, and then, over the limp brim, gazed gratefully into a pair of tender hazel eyes which tried in vain to mask anxiety beneath a surface of lightness.
"Acetylene, as you may know," he hastily explained, never pausing for a moment in his work, "is composed of carbon and hydrogen. As it burns at the end of the nozzle it is broken into carbon and hydrogen the carbon gives the high temperature, and the hydrogen forms a cone that protects the end of the blowpipe from being itself burnt up." "But isn't it dangerous?"
He drew the glass out, widened it, narrowed it, cut it, bent it and finished off the nozzle before he touched it with wet iron and made it drop into the ashes. A moment later he had heated the thick end of it again and was welding it over the hole he had made in the body of the vessel. "The man has three hands!" exclaimed the foreman. "And two of them are for stealing," added Piero.
Some of these kinks were very handy and deserved universal adoption, such as a small rubber tube with a flattened brass nozzle with which to encourage reluctant fires. Others expressed an individual idiosyncrasy only; as in the case of the man who carried clothes hooks to screw into the trees. A man's method of packing was also closely watched. Each had his own favourite hitch.
The ranks of Quabos had closed in now, till they extended down the street for several hundred yards in close formation a forest of great pulpy heads with huge eyes that glared unblinkingly at the glittering, pink building that was their objective. "Light up!" ordered Stanley, setting an example by touching his hose nozzle to the nearest wall jet.
That young man wished to paint her au naturel her, Emma Campbell, who had been a member in good standing of the Young Sons and Daughters of Zion, the Children of Mary Magdalen, and the Burying Society of the Sons and Daughters of the Rising Star in the Bonds of Love! In the altogether! Emma Campbell gasped like a hooked fish. She made a nozzle of her mouth and protruded her eyes.
From a case under his arm Kennedy produced a curious arrangement like a huge hook, with a curved neck and a sharp beak. Really it consisted of two metal tubes which ran into a sort of cylinder, or mixing chamber, above the nozzle, while parallel to them ran a third separate tube with a second nozzle of its own.
