This in the heart of the Doldrums at 450 feet! When my friends had finished, the road was seared, and blown, and pitted with unequal pressure layers, spirals, vortices, and readjustments for at least an hour. I pitched badly twice in an upward rush solely due to these diabolical throw-downs that came near to wrecking my propeller.
Most of my readers will probably have some practical knowledge of the small, round paper pellets known as "throw-downs," which explode when flung against anything; and it was difficult to imagine that any member of the select and decorous Melchester School Debating Society would cause an interruption by flinging such things about in the middle of an important discussion.
A moment later there was a prodigious puff, and four "throw-downs" exploded with a simultaneous crash in the centre of the chairman's table. "There's some one up on the roof!" cried several voices. "Stop it, you villain!" "How could any one get there?" "There's a trap-door at the end of the passage," exclaimed Shepherd. "Quick! we shall cut him off."
