The old man moved restlessly, feverishly, and pressed his trembling hand to his forehead as if trying to collect his thoughts. He was weak, but it was evident that he had been saved. The pulmotor had been stopped. Craig threw the cap to his student to be packed up, and as he did so he remarked quietly, "I could wish that Dr. Scott had been found.
Even then, you had been under it so long that we had to resort to the wonderful little pulmotor after trying both the Sylvester and Schaefer methods and all other manual means to induce respiration. At any rate we managed to undo the work of this fiend." I looked at him in surprise, I, who didn't think I had an enemy in the world. "But who could it have been?" I asked.
Jack strove to raise himself on one elbow but fell back limply, weak from the terrible struggle through which he had passed. "How about 'Little Mack'?" he managed finally to ask faintly. "Alive but yet unconscious," replied Ted, "They have gotten most of the water out of his lungs and are using the pulmotor."
Before the meeting adjourned it was decided that all ten scouts remain in the south station for the night, since there would be very little work for them to do next day. Bruce also thought it wise to have all the lads together while they were learning to use the pulmotor and becoming familiar with their apparatus.
That being the case, Bruce decided that all of the lads would devote the morning to operating the pulmotor, while the four life savers made frequent plunges into the surf so as to become accustomed to swimming with the aid of the buoy.
"I think we can do it without calling on the pulmotor," he panted. "Walter, the fumes have cleared away enough now in the outside office. Open a window and keep that street door open, too." I did so, found the switch and turned on the lights. It was Denison himself! For many minutes Kennedy worked over him.
Quickly he placed a cap, attached to it, over the nose and mouth of the poor girl, and started the machine. "Wh-what is it?" gasped Drummond as he saw Adele's hitherto motionless breast now rise and fall. "A pulmotor," replied the doctor, working quickly and carefully, "an artificial lung. Sometimes it can revive even the medically dead. It is our last chance with this girl."
One after another the lads operated the pulmotor upon a supposed victim until each had learned the proper method of adjusting and strapping fast the mouthpiece, and which screws to turn to start and stop the oxygen pump.
Three doctors were there in a miraculously short time, but despite all they could do at the end of half an hour both little figures still lay white and motionless. Then the pulmotor that had been frantically telephoned for arrived from the life-saving station, and just as the man dashed up with that, Mrs.
As the draught cleared the air, he thought of the telephone and with barely strength enough left called up one of the gas companies and had a pulmotor sent over. Now that the danger was past for me, and he felt all right, his active mind began at once on the reconstruction of what had happened. What was it man or devil?
