Here were mounted two of the six machine-guns that comprised Nissr's heavier armament; and here, too, were hung a dozen of the wonderful life-preservers combination anti-gravity turbines and vacuum-belt, each containing a signal-light, a water-distiller and condensed foods that, invented by Brixton Hewes, soon after the close of the war, had done so much to make air-travel safe.
If those ships guarding the river's mouth were only anchored, our problem would have been simplified; but they were constantly shifting, and as they showed no sailing lights, no telling where, after a signal flashed, they would fetch next up; and always, showing no signal-light whatever, would be the others guarding what they would like to have us mistake for an open passage in the dark.
I tell you, I just now saw a signal-light up there in the mist. There's trouble coming tonight, as sure as we own the earth. Trouble, maybe big trouble. Merciful God, I I rather think we oughtn't to be here, in person, eh? We'd be much better off out of here. If there there should be any fighting, you know " His voice broke in a falsetto pipe.

As we strolled along the road we looked up and saw a red signal-light glowing in the darkness of the mountainside. It seemed but a trifling way up perhaps a hundred yards, a climb of ten minutes.
During this agitating period, and on the evening of the 2d February 1804, the person who kept watch on the commanding station of Home Castle, being deceived by some accidental fire in the county of Northumberland, which he took for the corresponding signal-light in that county with which his orders were to communicate, lighted up his own beacon.
