While Crane placed extra bars in each of the motors and DuQuesne made careful observations upon the apparent size of the now plainly visible world toward which they were being drawn so irresistibly, Seaton connected the helmets with the air-and oxygen-tanks through a valve upon the board, by means of which he could change at will the oxygen content of the air they breathed.
Some of its girders buckled; and the east wall, nearest the oxygen-tanks, caved inward as a mass of many tons was hurled against it. A stunning concussion flung all three men to the floor; and, as they fell, a withering heat-wave quivered through the place. "The oxygen-tanks!" gasped Flint. "They're blown up they're burning God help us!"
"The plant's burning, at last," thought Gabriel. "Heaven grant the fire may spread to the oxygen-tanks! If we can only get those !" Again he launched a projectile, and again he circled over the doomed plant. A swift black shape swooped by him. He had just time to exchange a yell of warning, when it was gone. The near peril gripped his heart, but did not shake it. "Close call!" said he.
Now, as I understand it, while we manoeuvre over the plant, blow up the barricades and, if possible, 'get' the oxygen-tanks, our men on the ground will pour in through the gaps and storm the place, under the command of Edward Hargreaves. Is that the idea?" "Exactly, Comrade Marion," answered Gabriel. "You've hit it to a T." Craig laughed grimly, as he drew at his pipe.
