Again, I did not believe it possible to torpedo a rapidly-moving ship like the Lusitania if she were going at full speed; and, finally, I supposed that a modern liner, if actually struck, would remain afloat long enough to allow of the rescue of her passengers.
At length, after a few moments of dreadful suspense, the time for action arrived. A rapidly-moving mass, which was plainly visible, owing to the fact that it was blacker than the darkness of the night, burst into view and bore down upon the camp and its little band of defenders.
The Krupp bellowed from the enemy's north position, and cleverly lobbed a seven-pound shell not far behind that rapidly-moving, distant pillar of dust, the nucleus of which was a little troop of cantering Irregulars, and not far in front of the lower, slower-moving cloud, the heart of which was a little knot of tramping Town Guardsmen.
The large and rapidly-moving cylinder which churns the linen is a common part of a steam laundry, but the wringing machine is one of the most beautiful practical applications of a principle in natural philosophy that I ever saw. It consists of a large perforated cylinder, open at the top, with a case in the centre.
When, therefore, a rapidly-moving machine passes through an atmosphere so disturbed, the surfaces of the planes strike a mass of air moving, we may say, first toward the plane, and the next instant the current is reversed, and the machine drops, because its support is temporarily gone, and the aviator experiences the sensation of going into a "hole."
For these reasons observations must be made at altitudes of less than a mile, and the hazard of these enterprises is, therefore, very great, since the successful scout must bring himself within range of specially designed guns, which are effective at a range of 3000 yards or more, knowing that his only hope of safety lies in the chance that the rapidly-moving machine will avoid the rain of bullets that try to seek him out.
The passengers would all be gathered together in a car which would wait on a siding for the arrival of the express. By some mechanical contrivance exactly what it would be I haven't yet figured out this waiting car would be instantly switched on to the rapidly-moving express would become, so to speak, the rear car.
Another section of the retaining wall has gone -blown up!" In a trice the foreman of the gang on the wall wheeled his men about, running them out seaward toward the scene of the latest explosion. That much was plain from the twinkling of the rapidly-moving lanterns. "Come on, Renshaw!" Tom shouted. "You, too, Nicolas. You can pull an oar." Reade was already racing out on to the small dock.
He is much clearer than yesterday. I can almost see his face "She paused. She was trembling. "'But I cannot see what he carries. It seems to float on the wind, like a robe, or a woman's dress. Ah! mon Dieu! how fast he rides! "She stared before her as if fascinated, and following with her eyes some rapidly-moving object. Suddenly she shut her eyes. "'He's gone! she said.
One step more and she would have reached the track of the miniature railway, and been exposed to fatal injury from the rapidly-moving vehicle. Flinging back her veil, she perceived her fortunate escape; and being released from the firm grasp of her rescuer, she turned upon him a half-confused, half-grateful face. Mr. Phillips for it was he looked upon her in the most tender and pitying manner.
