Noyes, a great trick was to send a man out on the end of a yard in heavy weather and get the man at the wheel to snap him overboard. On steamers, of course, we have no yards, and so little items like spanners and wrenches and three-sheaved blocks fall from aloft. But that's all right." The pump-man, all the while he was talking, kept fitting his dies and cutting his threads.
There were great scarred marks on the deck-planking over which the cargo-derricks had been hauled. One must have fallen by the way, for the bulwark-rails were smashed and bent and the side-plates bruised. "It's the Governor," said the skipper "He's been selling her on the instalment plan." "Let's go up with spanners and shovels, and kill 'em all," shouted the crew.
That time she was very nearly sunk, and her riddled hull gave eminent lawyers of two countries great profit. She had ridden through many waves of depression. Freights might drop out of sight, Seamen's Unions throw spanners and nuts at certificated masters, or stevedores combine till cargo perished on the dock-head; but the boat of many names came and went, busy, alert, and inconspicuous always.
But you've got it finished now, haven't you? They can't get your patents away from you." "No, it isn't that," said Tom. "There are certain secrets about the mechanism of the tank the way I've increased the speed and power, the use of the spanners, and things like that which would be useful for the Germans to know.
So down the ladder they went. Mike hoped there'd be no fighting at all. He had the feeling that everything was all wrong, somehow, and that any use of stun guns or spanners would just make everything worse. His wasn't the only group looking for Snookums and Mellon. Lieutenant Keku had another group, and Commander Jeffers had a third.
But the excuse was stopped short by a blow on the angle of the jaw that stretched him by Medenham's side and apparently as lifeless. Assuredly, Dale was not versed in the punctilio of the duel, but he knew how and where to hit with a fist that was hard as one of his own spanners.
"Well, the worst is over," remarked Ned, as he saw the nose of the tank project beyond the farthermost bank. "Yes, even if they collapse now nothing much can happen," Tom answered. "It won't be any worse than wallowing down into a trench and out again. But I think the spanners will hold." And hold they did!
So far as I could make sure by the sun and a six-inch Ordnance map, this should be the road flank of that wood which I had first explored from the heights above. I made a mighty serious business of my repairs and a glittering shop of my repair kit, spanners, pump, and the like, which I spread out orderly upon a rug.
"The trouble is you need a bent spanner to get at some of the bolts." "They give you spanners with the plows, and there's a box on the frame to put them in. I've seen Stephen use the things." "Just so," Charnock agreed. "Stephen's methodical, but when I want my spanner it isn't in the box." "You never were very careful," Helen remarked.
But I had not much time to give him, because I was helping the engine-driver to take to pieces the leaky cylinders, to straighten a bent connecting-rod, and in other such matters. I lived in an infernal mess of rust, filings, nuts, bolts, spanners, hammers, ratchet-drills things I abominate, because I don't get on with them.
