The consumption of gas in the lantern is. 1,230 cubic inches per hour. This being known it is very easy to calculate from the capacity of the buoy how often it is necessary to charge it. A large number of buoys on the Pintsch system are already in use.
Station Schofield is passed, and again the signals, if any there be, are swiftly drowned in the gray dust-smother. From Schofield to Agua Caliente is but a scant ten miles; and as the flying train rushes on toward the State boundary, two faces in the quartet of watchers show tense and drawn under the yellow light of the Pintsch platform lamp.
At the jolting, the school-teachers screamed in chorus, and the whiskered gentleman stopped snoring and thrust his head from his curtains, blinking at the Pintsch lights. It appeared that he was an Englishman. "I say," he asked of the drummer named Max, "I say, my friend, what place is this?" The others roared with derision. "We were HELD UP, sir, that's what we were.
I was taken to Colonel Pintsch, who reiterated to me his story about being a part of Bibikoff's force, which was a lie on the face of it, and a Courland lie at that. And then, some breakfast having been given us, we were suffered to depart. Schnelling went with us to guide us through the gloomy mazes of the forest.
Louis connection is made, Number One sets out a diner and picks up a Portland sleeper so it happened that the Lalla Rookh, hind car to McCloud, afterward lay ahead of the St. Louis car, and the trainmen passed, as occasion required, through it lighted down the gloomy aisle by a single Pintsch burner, choked to an all-night dimness.
She had not seemed to withdraw, as he recalled: the curtains had not closed before the head; it had vanished. The wind sung fine, very fine through the copper screens, the Pintsch light flowed very low into the bright globe, the curtains swung again gracefully to the dip of the car; but the head was gone. A discussion threw no light on the mystery.
Whether it was that his eyes fell on the curtained section swaying under the Pintsch light ahead Section Eleven made up or whether his eyes were drawn to it, who can tell? A woman's head was visible between the curtains. Glover stood perfectly still and stared. Without right or reason, there certainly stood a woman.
"That he'd fire the entire engineering department if he could find half an excuse. I'm afraid he's going to do it, too, in the most effectual way by forcing Mr. Ford out. If Ford goes, every man in the department will quit with him. I'm afraid it's coming to that." Johnson, the porter, had lighted the Pintsch globes and was laying the covers for dinner.
We were obliged to trust them partly, and I thought it best to trust them wholly. Therefore I had my men bring forward the two leathern bags. Colonel Pintsch wrote a receipt, meanwhile gravely assuring me that the money would go to the defense fund for Courland, and he would certainly inform General Bibikoff of the whole affair.
Colonel Pintsch whether he was a colonel or not, I never knew bowed politely, and said: "I am ready to deliver the prisoners on the spot and to receipt for the money." I thought it best to hand the money over at once, knowing if they wished to play us false it was as easy to do it at one time as another; for it was clear that we could not undertake to return until daylight came to assist us.
