Some have come with the plain notion that if a fellow has got to fight, why then the navy offers the most comfortable outlook for a fellow during this war it especially offers it dry hammock every night, no mud, no cooties, and three hot meals at regular intervals but many are there with the bright hope of some day pointing a 14-inch gun and sending a relay of 1,400-pound shells where they will blow something foreign and opposing high as the flying clouds.
"I fear that everything is discovered, Porthos; the matter is, then, to prevent a great misfortune. I have given orders to my people to close all the gates and doors. D'Artagnan will not be able to get out before daybreak. Your horse is ready saddled; you will gain the first relay; by five o'clock in the morning you will have traversed fifteen leagues. Come!"
The day of her departure, toward the end of August, 1831, Madame Graslin's numerous friends accompanied her some distance out of the town. A few went as far as the first relay. Veronique was in an open carriage with her mother.
"The Chief," as they called their general, with only one of his staff in attendance, had reached Cheyenne on time, and, quitting the train, declining dinner at the hotel and having but a word or two with the "Platform Club," the little bevy of officers from Fort Russell whose custom it was to see the westbound train through almost every day had started straightway for Laramie behind the swiftest team owned by the quartermaster's department, while another, in relay, awaited him at the Chugwater nearly fifty miles out.
The power is in the torpedo; the relay releases it. That is, I send a child with a message; the grown man, through the relay, does the work. So, you see, I can sit miles away in safety and send my little David out anywhere to strike down a huge Goliath."
Morey began to close a tiny switch set in one side of the instrument panel then, before the relay below could move, he had flipped it back. "Here, you take it, Arcot you always think about two steps ahead of me you're quicker and know the machine better anyway." Quickly the two men exchanged places.
The length of line through which Morse could work his apparatus was an important point to be determined, for it was known that the current grows feebler in proportion to the resistance of the wire it traverses. Morse saw a way out of the difficulty, as Davy, Cooke, and Wheatstone did, by the device known as the relay.
"He missed us," Cole sighed. "It's a wonder hanging out here in space, with the protector of the T-247's fields gone." "No, no, you asteroid that's not it. He went off faster than light itself!" "Eh what? Faster than light? That can't be done " "He did it, I know he did. That's how he got inside our screens. He came inside faster than the warning message could relay back the information.
Once inside he sat for a long unhappy time staring at the wall and seeing nothing but the pictures produced by his thoughts. Then he pressed a button and read off the symbols which flashed on a small visa-screen set in his desk. Another button pushed, and he picked up a hand mike to relay an order which might postpone trouble for a while.
When the first relay of excited railroad men reached the electric locomotive after it had stopped on the long level, even Ned Newton had pulled himself together and could look out upon the world with some measure of calmness. Tom Swift was making certain notes and draughting a curious little diagram upon a page of his notebook. "What happened to you, Mr.
