Thyle II spread out like an orange carpet, and after a while we came to the grey branch of the Mare Chronium that bounded it. That was narrow; we crossed it in half an hour, and there was Thyle I same orange-hued desert as its mate. We veered south, toward the Mare Australe, and followed the edge of the desert. And toward sunset we spotted it." "Shpotted?" echoed Putz. "Vot vas shpotted?"
The International Room, gallery 108, contains all that the Exposition has of German work. On wall C are such splendid things as Leo Putz' "The Shore" and Heinrich von Zugel's "In the Rhine Meadows;" and on wall A is Franz Stuck's "Summer Night"-by no means one of this decorator's best works, though characteristically rich and deep-toned.
It was kneeling as if in worship of the Martian, and on the ground was what looked like a pottery bowl full of some food as an offering. Well! Leroy and I thought we'd gone screwy!" "And Putz and I think so, too!" roared the captain. "Maybe we all have," replied Jarvis, with a faint grin at the pale face of the little Frenchman, who returned it in silence.
And the engineer added an emphatic "Ja!" of agreement. "Not as primitive as all that," corrected Jarvis. "The sunlight focused on a queer cylinder in the center of a big concave mirror, and they drew an electric current from it. The juice worked the pumps." "A t'ermocouple!" ejaculated Putz. "That sounds reasonable; you can judge by the pictures. But the power-plant had some queer things about it.
Its chief feature is the exhibit of German art. Franz Stuck's "Summer Night" , Heinrich von Zugel's "In the Rhine Meadows" , both winners of the medal of honor; Curt Agthe's "At the Spring" , and Leo Putz' "The Shore" , gold-medal pictures, are worthily characteristic of Germany's best art. The bulk of the pictures under "International Section" are in the Annex.
"I didn't want to give details on the radio," said Jarvis soberly. "You'd have thought we'd gone loony." "I think so, anyway." "Moi aussi!" muttered Leroy. "I too!" "Shall I begin at the beginning?" queried the chemist. "Our early reports were pretty nearly complete." He stared at Putz, who had come in silently, his face and hands blackened with carbon, and seated himself beside Harrison.
So, on a hunch, we decided to have a look at Thyle I, and away we buzzed." "Der motors?" queried Putz, breaking his long silence. "For a wonder, we had no trouble, Karl. Your blast worked perfectly. So we hummed along, pretty high to get a wider view, I'd say about fifty thousand feet.
Under the command of General Putz they made an attack on Het Sase and Steenstraate. The sharpshooters of the Zouaves and Algerians took a trench in front of the latter place and entered the village. They fought on to the canal by the end of that day, which was May 15, 1915. More than six hundred Teuton dead were counted after that engagement.
"Listen, Dick you and Leroy take the other auxiliary rocket and go out and salvage those films." Jarvis stared. "Me and Leroy?" he echoed ungrammatically. "Why not me and Putz? An engineer would have some chance of getting us there and back if the rocket goes bad on us." The captain nodded toward the stern, whence issued at that moment a medley of blows and guttural expletives.
Sharpshooters were left in the trenches, however, and they maintained such an appearance of activity and alertness that the Germans kept on shelling the trenches all of the following day. The attempt of General Putz to force the Germans back across the Yperlee Canal on May 4, 1915, was stopped by a combination of machine guns, asphyxiating gas and fog.
