"The tube to the bridge is out of commission," he called, "but I can raise the chief. He says no man can live on deck; one's gone overboard already. The second watch can't get out of the forecastle. It's up to us, men, to keep this ship afloat, and steam's the only thing that'll do it."
They may just as well try to stop a railway train. Steam's up, and I'm off." He laughed and wiped his forehead. Slightly vexed at the small amount of discoverable astonishment on the farmer's face, he continued, "You don't think much of it. Why, there ain't another man but myself Boyne's Bank would trust. They've trusted me thirty year: why shouldn't they go on trusting me another thirty year?
"The hunted man one morning heard A whistle near and strong, And in the night a fiery light The thickets flashed among: The demon of the engine rushed Along on blazing beams The hound the murderer had flushed, The outlaw's path was Steam's!" The cry of hate from the crowd around the whipping-post, as it awoke Patty Cannon's last anger, also determined her last crime.
"Amos," he called to another, "you've been in the ingine-room, you say. Is her ingine bus' down?" "Dunno," answered Amos. "Steam's all right; see the jet comin' out o' the stack? There! she's turnin' over kickin' ahead. 'Bout time if she wants to clear us. She's signalin'. What's that say, Elisha?"
Spry little boat she is; how many knots can ye get out of her now? Not that I am curious." "About twelve knots." "And when the steam's off the bile, how many can you sail? Not that it is my business." "Eight or nine. What is your business?" "Hum! You have been over some water looking for that gal. Where do ye hail from last?" "The Society Islands. Did you board me to hear me my catechism?"
Schuyler was standing before the grate with its burden of glowing coals. He looked up. He started, rubbing his eyes as one who sees but doesn't believe that which his gaze tells him to be so. "It's you!" he cried. Dr. DeLancey nodded. "Yes," he said, simply. "Jack, I've come to take you home. The yacht's waiting at Liverpool. Tom's boat, you know. Steam's up. So get your hat."
You saw how I took advantage of the lead they gave me, but I hope we haven't overdone the thing." "No," said Don Sebastian thoughtfully; "I imagine nobody suspects anything yet." "Perhaps you had better clear the ship soon, sir," said the engineer. "Steam's nearly up and it takes some coal "

'Can't find anything, he said, as he jumped into the boat, and then privately to Racksole: 'There's a woman on board. Looks as if she might coincide with your description of Miss Spencer. Steam's up, but there's no engineer.
The children are interested to know how an engine, not alive and without the help of horses, can move and drag such weights, and Terenty undertakes to explain it to them: "It's all the steam's doing, children. . . . The steam does the work. . . . You see, it shoves under that thing near the wheels, and it . . . you see . . . it works. . . ."
"The Yankees skedaddle as though in haste But this thirty-two pounder howitzer imp It makes them halt and it makes them limp, This railroad gun on a flat car placed." "Hurry up there! Hurry up! Hurry! Steam's up! Coal's precious! Can't stay here burning diamonds like this all day!" "Come on!" said the artilleryman. "I can sit down and dig. We've got to clear that thing away in a hurry."
