It was plain that she was an open book to him. "What is the trouble?" said I, with that tone of voice you use in a sick-room. It appeared to be appendicitis. "Spark-plug," muttered the doctor. "Shall I get another?" I asked, half apologetically. "Better," grunted the doctor. I chased down an automobile owner, and a launch owner and a man who had a small pumping-engine.
The captain himself was sometimes given to metaphysical speculation, and even HE was puzzled to know if his heart had a whit more feeling than any other pumping-engine. Women he looked upon as frivolities of vanity to which he could not reconcile his stern nature; and men he regarded as instruments to be rigorously disciplined, not failing at the same time to discipline himself.
And now ! Mon Gyu, yes I wish the sea would break in through their nasty tunnels and wash them all away pumps and engines and houses everything!" And up on the hillside at the head of the gulf the great pumping-engine clacked monotonously "Never! Never! Never!" "You've got it bad to-day, Nan," said the boy. "I've always got it bad. It makes me sick.
Far away down the gallery a small pumping-engine, used for keeping dry a deep working and fed with steam from above, was throbbing faithfully. They heard it cease. 'They have cut off the steam, said Kundoo hopefully. 'They have given the order to use all the steam for the pit-bank pumps. They will clear out the water.
His shaft slopes much, little, or not at all, according to the "lie of the lode." It is an ancient truism that water must find its level. Owing to this law, much water accumulates in the shaft, obliging the miner to erect an engine-house and provide a powerful pumping-engine with all its gear, at immense cost, to keep the works dry as he proceeds.
This tunnel or level he calls the "Adit level." But his pumping-engine is by no means rendered useless, for it has much to do in hauling ore to the surface, etcetera.
Another night, however, he succeeded in carrying off the native driver of the pumping-engine, and soon afterwards added several other victims to his list. On one occasion an engine-driver arranged to sit up all night in a large iron water-tank in the hope of getting a shot at him, and had a loop-hole cut in the side of the tank from which to fire.
'There's something awful in the timing o' that sound, ain't there, miss? 'When you say there is, there really seems to be. You said there were two what is the other horrid sound? 'The pumping-engine. That's close by the Old House, and sends water up the hill and all over the Great House. We shall hear that directly.... There, now hark again.
Nevertheless, his practice was really founded upon a close study of the principles of mechanics, and on an intimate practical acquaintance with the details of the pumping-engine. Another of his smaller achievements in the same line is still told by the people of the district.
The great reservoir is always full full to the brim; however much may be drawn from it, the water sinks not a hairsbreadth; but the bore of the pipe and the power of the pumping-engine determine the rate at which the stream flows from it. 'He could there do no mighty works because of their unbelief. The obstruction of indifference dammed back the water of life.
