"Drop aft a bit, Alf; we'll put a stencil under the stern six-inch casements." Boom by boom Laughlin slid the dinghy along the towering curved wall. Once, twice, and again we stopped, and the keen scrubbing sound was renewed. "Umpires are 'ard-'earted blighters, but this ought to convince 'em.... Captain Panke's stern-walk is now above our defenceless 'eads.
He tried jets of steam and of air with sand, and found that he could roughen a pane of glass almost instantly.

He had collected all the tools and lighter machinery into a pile ready for removal, and was now marking with his own stencil such of the filled cases as remained on the lower floor.
There are no recipes for exact proportions and mixtures, no thermometer for controlling temperatures, no stencil or pattern set down upon paper for laying out the designs.
