The ship cavorted madly, shaking mightily in the titanic, cosmic forces that surrounded it the forces that made the highest energy form in the universe! Arcot knew that nothing could be done with the power coil. It was drained; the circuit was broken.
Or perhaps it would be safer to let them be, lest others should come across the green water to help them, and to strike northwards, where I am told there are great lands as rich and fair, in which none would dispute our sovereignty " The answer given was always "By-and-bye!"

Undoubtedly the Titanic was faced that night with unusual and unexpected conditions of ice: the captain knew not the extent of these conditions, but he knew somewhat of their existence. Alas, that he heeded not their warning! During the day, the bodies of eight of the crew were committed to the deep: four of them had been taken out of the boats dead and four died during the day.
Some of these problems have been solved by recent travellers, and not a few of them are referable to polar oceans and ice. In many parts of our coasts we find very striking and enormously large boulder-stones lying on the beach, perfectly isolated, and their edges rounded away like pebbles, as if they had been rolled on some antediluvian beach strewn with Titanic stones.

The reporter grasped his shoulder and pointed to where, a block or two away, the towering framework of a Titanic building pierced the sunlit air, far above the sordid savagery of the human rat-holes near by. Guiding monster beams into place, sure-set upon the frailest foothold, forms of men, made tiny by the distance, were silhouetted against the sky.

Dully the mirror-force relay clicked. A hazy glow ran over the silver block, and died. Then simultaneously the power was thrown from two small, compact atostors into the twin projectors.
