We soon lost sight of the river Tuy, which, turning eastward, forms an elbow at the foot of the high mountains of Guayraima. As we drew nearer to Victoria the ground became smoother; it seemed like the bottom of a lake, the waters of which had been drained off. We might have fancied ourselves in the valley of Hasli, in the canton of Berne.
The harsh countenance of the soldier Dagobert is becoming smoother a sure sign of some amelioration in the condition of the marshal. Detected by their handwriting, the last anonymous letters were returned by Dagobert to the postman, without having been opened by the marshal. Some other method must be found to get them delivered."
Unless he could secure an engine of smoother running and more exactly governed and regulated than those available for his dynamo and lamp, Edison realized that he would find it almost impossible to give a steady light. He did not want his customers to count the heart-beats of the engine in the flicker of the lamp.
"She seems to work," observed Tom, looking from where he was stationed near some electrical switches, toward Mr. Sharp. "Of course she does," replied the aeronaut. "I knew it would, but I wasn't so sure that it would scoot along in this fashion. We're making pretty good speed, but we'll do better when the motor gets to running smoother." "How high up are we?" asked Tom.
The rain had by this time cleared off and the atmosphere was much clearer, so clear indeed that the outlines of the hills ahead showed with tolerable distinctness, and the water was getting smoother. The lighthouse light was showing very bright and clear by this time, and two or three other and much dimmer lights, like those of houses, showed here and there in the shadow of the hills.
"They won't need blood-hounds to track us," he admitted. "We will get other clothing," Sim said. The truck rolled on, crossing a hill and dropping down toward a town. Lights winked ahead of them and the road became smoother. "We unload pretty soon," Sim said. "There will be a small farmhouse on the right with tall trees. We get off there. The farmer is a member of the underground."
"Yes," replied William, "they will soon be in smoother water; but the surf on the beach is very heavy." "They won't mind that, if their strength don't fail them they manage the canoe beautifully." During this conversation the canoe had rapidly come towards the land. In a moment or two afterwards, it passed through the surf and grounded on the beach.
"Maybe we better try smoother ground," Baird at last suggested after repeated falls had shown that the undergrowth was difficult. So the cameras were moved on to the front of a ranche house now in use for the drama, and the spur lessons continued. But on smooth ground it appeared that the spurs were still troublesome. After the first mishap here Merton discovered the cause.
"Will they smooth your pillows when you are sick? or comfort you when your heart is woeful?" "I don't mean my heart to be woeful, and as to pillows, there be thousands will smooth them for wages." "They are smoother when 'tis done for love," was the answer. Agatha devoted herself to her orange, and in a few minutes Lady Foljambe gave the signal to rise from table.
So high was the sea already, that the spectators feared every moment she would be swamped, but she was well handled, and once in the little bay the water grew smoother, and she soon made her way to the spot where the officers were standing.
