I was simply dyin' for a smoke. Like to try a lachrymatory?" he enquired, reaching up to a certain dingy box. "Yes," said I, glancing at K. "Oh, yes, if " "Only smart for the time bein'," our sub. assured me. "Make you weep a bit!" Here from the dingy box he fished a particularly vicious-looking bomb and fell to poking at it with a screwdriver. I immediately stepped back.
So the little procession turned and once more walked down the stairs, Smith, with his screwdriver, still walking solemnly in the middle. We who were in hiding were torn by conflicting desires. Our first impulse was to remain and enjoy the spectacle of the crestfallen Henniker marching forth from her late prison.
The matter is distinctly alluded to at the end of the illuminated address, but I'm afraid they're not likely to read that till they get back to Dublin, if then. I suppose, by the way, the address has arrived all right?" "It has," said Doyle, "but I haven't it unpacked yet. It's in a case." "We'd better have it quite ready. Get a screwdriver, will you, and a hammer."
"I guess they searched us all while they were struggling with us, tying us up," suggested Ned. "I had a knife with a big, strong blade, but it's gone." "So is mine," echoed Tom. "And I haven't even a screwdriver, or a pocket-wrench," declared the engineer, "though I had both." "They evidently knew what they were doing," said Lieutenant Marbury.
"If they do, my man, I shall be sorry," said my father, gravely, "for they may fall into worse hands than ours. We have no key to those shackles; could you turn them with a file?" "Little screwdriver may do it, sir?" said Morgan, thoughtfully. "Fetch it from the tool-chest," said my father, shortly; and Morgan went off grumbling something about waste of money.
A case may be made by hollowing out a block of wood so as to take the stone loosely; and if at one end a small notch is made in this block, a screwdriver may be inserted under the stone when it is necessary to turn it. Two brads or pins should be inserted in holes, having their points just appearing below the bottom of the block. These prevent it slipping about when in use.
Presently the carpenter and the mate came back together, the former with a hammer in his hand. "It's a bad business, this, sir," said he, shaking his head, as he looked at the body of the mate. "And you think there's someone hiding in the box?" "There's no doubt about it," said Allardyce, picking up the screwdriver and setting his jaw like a man who needs to brace his courage.
Presently he heard a light footstep. It stopped close beside him and Bill, raising himself on his arm, peered over the edge of his small quarters at the back of Frank Anderson, who was bending over the engine of Horace Jardin's plane. No one else was in the hangar. Bill heard the scrape of steel on steel and saw Frank slip a small screwdriver into his pocket.
But the old guild members did not suffer it without a wrench, I can tell you." McPhearson took up a small screwdriver and proceeded to fasten the back on to the clock he held in his hand. "It wasn't all smooth sailing, being a clockmaker in those days," he declared. "What wonder the horologers were jealous of their art?
A few moments after Pauline's departure Louis Wrentz and his companions set to work. Two of the men left the room and sauntered to opposite ends of the hall where they lingered on watch. Wrentz and the other man stepped out briskly and each with a screwdriver in his hand began unfastening the number-plates over the doors of rooms 22 and 24.
