Fresh relays of men took the places of those who bore him, taking their turn at the litter with alacrity, for Tom's dutiful and heroic conduct, and the mother's loving gentleness and patient endurance, and the squatter's stubborn defence of the lone cabin against such odds, had won the hearts of the soldiers, and they had resolved to see the family safe within the walls of the fortress, or, if attacked on the prairie, to defend them to the death.
Yes, but something deeper and more vital was passing with that vanishing form. What was it? What had occurred to change the summer sunlight to drearest gray? Late August hung heavily over Quinton.

Feasts were spread in the Kasbah, and relays of guests from among the chief men of the town were invited daily to partake of them.

He afterward founded the Boston Atlas, and by making relays of fast horses and taking advantage of the services offered by a few short lines of railroad then operating in Massachusetts, he was enabled to print election returns by nine o'clock on the morning after election. In 1832, Webb organized an express rider line between New York and Washington.
All the relays were standard, the gyroscopic stabilizers were standard, and the electromagnetic braking equipment for the gyros was standard. But there would be long days of work ahead for Arcot, Wade, and Morey, for only they could install the special equipment; only they could put in the complicated wiring, for no one else on Earth understood the circuits they had to establish.
A special light engine over the Transcontinental to Jack's Canyon an exchange of courtesies which even fighting railroads make in war as well as in peace a wire request on the stage company for relays of saddle horses, and the thing was done.
