In such cases it is often feasible, by excavating a filtering sump or pump-well at a little distance from the side of the stream, and at a sufficient depth below the level of its bed to secure a supply tolerably purified by filtration through the intervening earth. The distance at which this sump should be placed from the bed of the stream will depend on the character of the soil.
The interior is absolutely new and extremely sump- tuous, abounding in tapestries, upholstery, morocco, velvet, satin. This is especially the case with a really beautiful grande salle, where, surrdunded with the most expensive upholstery, the mayor holds his official receptions.
When that girl smiled up in my face, welcomed me as her brother's friend, and told me she was glad I had come with him, all the clutches broke off my cage, and I thought I would in a moment bring up in the sump below the 1,700 foot level, smashed so they would have to sew the pieces up in canvas to bring me to the surface. It is a clear case that I am gone, and what the mischief am I going to do?
Plot, one hundred and one. PADDY DIGNAM: Pray for the repose of his soul. After him toddles an obese grandfather rat on fungus turtle paws under a grey carapace. Dignam's voice, muffled, is heard baying under ground: Dignam's dead and gone below. Follow me up to Carlow. Two discs on the columns wobble, eyes of nought. All recedes. Bloom plodges forward again through the sump.
"It is a game we play with yearlings there, but we never try it on an old stager, because, you see, if one should fall he would be in the sump, or in a drift where the air would be bad in a minute. That was a big fellow, but he had a ring in his nose, which made me the more sure of him, and then you see there was nothing else to do.
Lord save us! whether they was drownt at t'bottom i' the sump, or killt afore they got theer theer's no one knows yet They're getten of 'em up now." And as she spoke, a great shout which became a groan ran through the crowd. Men climbed up the railings at the side of the road that they might see better. Women stood on tiptoe.
"I understood, Bob," said his friend quietly. Jackpot Number Three hooked its tools the second day after Sanders's visit to that location. A few hours later its engine was thumping merrily and the cable rising and falling monotonously in the casing. On the afternoon of the third day Bob Hart rode up to the wildcat well where Dave was building a sump hole with a gang of Mexicans.
Before preparing their beds for the night, the boys paid a visit to the shaft and made their way down to the rungs which had been cut. They found that they had been replaced by new ones. There was still water in the lower levels of the mine, but it was slowly disappearing through the sump, and the indications were that it would be dry by morning.
They walked across to the hoist, entered the cage, and felt the sinking sensation as they were dropped, rather than lowered, to the six-hundred-foot level. The celerity of the descent almost robbed him of breath, but he thought of sturdy old Bells' boast, that he had "never run a cage into the sheaves, nor dropped it to the sump, in forty years of steam."
At the same moment a man appeared from a lower entrance and hurried toward the group. "It's Conway!" cried some one; "he's come across by the sump. Ralph! ho, Ralph!" "Why, where's Ralph?" asked Conway, as he crowded on to the carriage. "Gone to the plane to warn ye," was the answer." "Wait the hoisting bell, then, till I get 'im." But the carriage was already moving slowly upward.
