There isn't a mark of 'soup' having been used to blow it up, nor of a 'can-opener' to rip it open, if that were possible, nor of an electric or any other kind of drill." "I've read of those fellows who burn their way in," said Schloss. "But there is no hole," objected Kennedy, "not a trace of the use of thermit to burn the way in or of the oxyacetylene blowpipe to cut a piece out.
They split off a section of the mob and fell upon it ferociously. There were sudden awful screams. Thermit flame was rising from two places in the very thick of the mob. It burst up from a third, and fourth, and fifth.... Denham, atop his tower, had the range with his steam cannon, and was flinging heavy shells into the attackers of the two central buildings.
"Know about Langhorne the fellow that was that I robbed?" repeated Jack. "You robbed?" cut in Kennedy. "So you knew about thermit, then?" Dopey smiled with a sort of pride in his work, much as if he had received a splendid recommendation. "Yes," he replied. "I knew about it got it from a peterman who has studied safes and all that sort of thing.
But a glimpse of their bestial, vice-ridden faces was enough to remove any regret for their deaths. The Tube was shattered. Its mouth was belled out and broken by the explosion of the grenades hung within it. A part of the metal was molten from the thermit, past question.
This is an experiment Goldschmidt it fond of showing his students burning holes in one and two-inch steel plates. It is the same with a safe only you need more of the stuff. Either black or red thermit will do the trick equally well, however." Neither of us said anything. There was nothing to say except to feel and express amazement.
"That was what I injected into the air cushion of that safe between the two linings. I suppose my man here used an electric drill. He might have used thermit or an oxyacetylene blowpipe for all I would care. These fumes would discourage a cracksman from 'soup' to nuts," he laughed, thoroughly pleased at the protection modern science had enabled him to devise.
Then came a thin, high yelling sound which, faint as it was, had something of the quality of hysterical glee. That crazy ululation kept up for several minutes. Evelyn shivered. "The Ragged Men," said Tommy very quietly. "They sneaked up on the Tube. They flung blazing thermit, or something like it, with a weapon captured from the Golden City. That explosion was the grenades going off.
